A chimney that leans after the storm
A chimney that stood straight before the storm and now leans has moved at a joint, at the roof line or at its footing. A leaning stack can fall, and it can pull flashing and roofing with it as it goes. A fresh crack at the roof line is where that break can show first.
Stay clear of the chimney and the rooms and yard below the lean, and do not use the fireplace. Our crew in Springfield checks it from a safe position first, decides what must come down to make it safe, and writes up the rebuild once the hazard is gone.

Hazards first, then the call
Utility and 911 hazards come first. Then describe what you see from the ground and we set the visit.
-
Top closed to the weather
An open flue, a broken chase top or loose courses are covered or made stable the same visit where safe.
-
Chimney checked top to bottom
Cap, crown, flashing, masonry and every flue are checked, and each finding is written down in order.
-
Permanent repairs in dry weather
Water-stopping work goes first, then structure, then finishes, each on its own line.
Crowns and storms inland in Springfield
A crown that was already cracked or thin can break apart in a storm, and the coast plays no part in it. In Springfield, the fix is the same: seal a sound crown, recast a broken one.
We cover the top until the new crown is cast.

Cap, crown and flashing repairs booked in the 72 hours after the inspection each come 10% off.
Rebuilding the top courses
Bricks that the wind loosened at the top come off one at a time, down to masonry that no longer moves. The courses are relaid in mortar matched to the brick, with the joints full and tooled, and the crown is rebuilt on top of them.
How far down the rebuild goes depends on what we find, so the estimate gives a price per course with the number we expect. If more courses turn out to be loose, you see it before we go further, and the ticket records the final count. Brick that comes down whole and sound can go back up, which helps the rebuilt top match the rest of the chimney.
Antenna and dish mounts on a chimney
A mast or dish fixed to a chimney catches wind and pries at the masonry it is strapped or bolted to. Storms loosen the straps, pull anchors out of mortar joints and crack the top courses.
We recommend moving such mounts off the chimney where the masonry is not built to carry them. Taking the mount down, repairing the damaged brick and joints, and filling old anchor holes are listed as separate lines on the estimate. If the mount is to stay, a mounting point off the chimney is suggested for the installer.
Storm parts for a factory-built chimney
A metal chimney and its cap are listed as one system, and R1005.1 and R1005.2 keep replacement parts and decorative tops inside that listing. A cap or pipe section from a different system does not lock to the old one and is not part of what was tested.
We read the model from the fireplace label or the pipe before ordering a replacement cap, storm collar or section. Bent pipe above the chase is replaced, not straightened, and the parts go on the estimate by number. If the model cannot be identified, we say so, and the estimate explains how the correct parts will be traced.
Temporary and permanent, line by line
- Temporary flue or chase cover, with who removes it and when

Storm damage questions from Springfield
What if my chimney also vents a water heater?
That flue cannot be covered while the appliance runs. We check it separately and tell you whether the appliance is safe to use.
