Bricks on the roof or the drive

Brick pieces or broken concrete turning up on shingles, in gutters or across the drive tell you the chimney top is breaking up. More can follow in the next gust, so the area below the chimney is no place for people, pets or cars.

Keep everyone clear and do not climb up to look. Our crew takes down what is loose, covers what is open and writes up the rebuild for later. Pieces falling from the chimney at your house in Sawgrass? Call (904) 920-5495, day or night, for an emergency visit.

Sawgrass lies within St. Johns County. The 2020 Census counted 5,385 residents in Sawgrass.

Storm wind on coastal chimneys in Sawgrass

Storm wind hits chimney tops hardest along the coast, and Sawgrass is right on it. Caps and chase covers are the first parts to go, and an open flue takes rain straight down.

In storm season, coastal calls are often about covering an open top quickly and safely.

Safe steps before the crew arrives

Stay off the roof. Wet shingles, wind and darkness make it dangerous, and a fall does far more harm than any leak. Indoors, pull furniture and rugs clear of the water, lay towels, set a bucket under drips and keep kids and animals out of the room.

A cold firebox with a working damper can have the plate shut to slow rain falling down an open flue. Leave the damper open while embers still glow. An animal in the fireplace stays behind closed doors or a covered opening, with the room shut, until help comes.

Taking down what could fall

Loose bricks or pieces of concrete at the top of a chimney can fall at any time, onto the roof, a walkway or a car. When they cannot be secured in place safely, the loose material is taken down by hand and lowered to the ground.

That leaves the chimney shorter or open at the top until it is rebuilt, so the opening is covered against rain. The rebuild is priced in daylight as its own job. Taking down only what is loose, and no more, keeps the permanent repair as small as the damage allows.

Checking your chimney from the ground

Much can be learned after a storm without climbing anything. Look at the chimney top for a missing, tilted or bent cap, and at the chimney itself for cracks or a lean. Look at the roof around it for bricks, concrete or metal that were not there before.

Indoors, look in the firebox for fallen material and at the ceiling by the chimney for fresh marks. Anything you find is worth telling us on the phone, because it decides what we bring. Stay off the roof until it has been checked. Binoculars help if the chimney is tall or set back from the edge of the roof.

Emergency questions from Sawgrass

Can I use the fireplace after an emergency visit?

The visit note says so in writing. After a fire, storm damage to the flue or a blockage, nothing is burned until the flue is examined and any repair is finished.

Is the permanent repair priced on the night?

No. The night visit makes the chimney safe. The permanent repair is examined and priced in daylight, as its own written estimate, and nothing starts without your approval.
