A nest blocking the flue before a fire

Twigs and nesting material in the firebox, or a sudden refusal to draw, can mean a nest has blocked the flue. Lighting a fire under a blocked flue is dangerous, so nothing burns until it is open again.

If the nest belongs to a bird that is protected while nesting, the answer may be to wait, with the fireplace closed off. Otherwise, an emergency sweep clears the flue and a screened cap keeps it clear. Flue blocked at your home in Sandalwood? Call (904) 920-5495 to find out what can be done.

Sandalwood falls within Duval County. Sandalwood is an inland community.

Lightning and tall chimneys in Sandalwood

Standing above the roof makes a chimney a likely lightning target in any town.

After a strike in Sandalwood, the flue is checked before any fire, since tiles can crack out of sight.

The questions that decide the visit

The first questions are always about safety: is anyone hurt, and is anything burning or smoking? Then come the details that shape the visit: what you can see and where, what burns in the fireplace, whether anything else vents through the chimney and how steep and high the roof is.

Those answers decide who comes, what they bring and whether work on the roof tonight is safe. They also let us give you instructions for the next hour before anyone arrives. Having the answers ready saves time on the call and on the visit. If the call drops or you need to leave the house, calling back from outside is fine.

Covering an open chimney top

With a chimney top open to the weather, the quickest way to stop water is a heavy-duty tarp over the flue and the damaged area, strapped or weighted so the wind cannot lift it. Where possible, it is secured without new holes in the masonry.

A tarp is a stopgap. Sun and wind wear it, and it will not hold forever. We tell you how long ours should last, check it if the weather turns, and schedule the permanent repair before it gives out. The fireplace stays unused while the tarp is on. Straps are routed so they do not cut into flashing or damage the roof covering.

Pricing the permanent repair

The permanent repair is not guessed at in the dark. Once the weather clears and the chimney can be examined properly, it gets a written estimate of its own, listing each item, the reason it failed, the fix and the price.

Nothing permanent starts without your sign-off, even after an emergency call. That keeps the night visit focused on safety and the lasting work planned with care. The estimate for the permanent repair is free. You can compare it with any other estimate you get, line by line. If the damage turns out smaller in daylight than it looked at night, the estimate reflects that too.

Before the crew arrives

Should I call you or 911 first?

Smoke indoors, a carbon monoxide alarm or flames in the chimney: evacuate and dial 911 before anyone else. Water, storm damage and trapped animals come straight to our line.

Can someone come tonight?

Someone picks up 24/7 and gives you an honest estimate of when a crew can reach you, given the storm and the roof. If first light is the safer time to work, you get clear instructions for the night.
