A gas smell near the fireplace
Smell gas by the fireplace? Walk out without touching a switch, and once outdoors, call the gas company or 911. That comes before any call to us. Keep phones and flashlights off until you are outside.
The gas side of a fireplace belongs to the utility and a gas contractor. Once they have made it safe, we can look at the chimney or flue the appliance vents through, if that is part of the problem. After the utility has cleared the house in Sunbeam, phone (904) 920-5495 to have the chimney side checked.
Sunbeam does not reach the coast. Sunbeam is a neighborhood inside Jacksonville city limits.

Falling limbs and chimneys in Sunbeam
A limb that comes down in a storm can crack a chimney top or knock bricks loose anywhere trees stand near the house.
In Sunbeam we work alongside the tree service so the chimney is secured as the weight comes off.
10% off any service booked within 72 hours of inspection
The permanent fix after an emergency visit counts, the same as any other service.
Chase covers torn off in wind
Framed chimney chases around factory-built fireplaces are closed at the top by a metal chase cover. When wind tears it off, rain falls straight into the chase, onto the framing and the metal chimney pipe.
The temporary fix is a secure cover over the chase top, leaving the chimney pipe's own cap in place where it is intact. The permanent fix is a new cover sized to the chase, with a proper slope and drip edge, priced separately. Wet framing inside the chase is noted for inspection once it dries. Where the chase siding has also been damaged, it is covered so rain cannot enter from the side.
A blocked flue that an appliance needs
When a furnace or water heater vents through the chimney, a blocked flue is urgent. A nest, a pile of fallen debris or a broken tile can stop the exhaust from leaving the house.
An alarm for carbon monoxide means evacuate first and ring 911 once outside. If not, stop using the appliance until the flue has been cleared and checked. Clearing it is an emergency sweep, and the cause of the blockage, such as a missing cap or a failing tile, is written up for repair. A cap with a screen is priced when a nest or debris was the cause, so the flue stays open afterward.
Who else may need to be called
Chimney emergencies often touch other trades. Roof covering damaged beyond the chimney is a roofer's work. A gas smell or a damaged gas appliance belongs to the gas utility and a gas contractor. Wiring damaged by lightning or water is an electrician's job, and a fallen tree needs a tree service.
We say which trades are needed on the emergency note, so nothing is missed. Our part is the chimney and the fireplace. Where work has to happen in a certain order, we explain it, so the chimney repair is not done twice. Where another trade needs to go first, the chimney work is scheduled to follow it.
Emergency findings in writing

Emergency questions from Sunbeam
Do you handle chimney emergencies in Sunbeam?
Yes. The line covers Duval County, Sunbeam included, 24/7. For smoke, fire or gas, leave the house and reach 911 or the gas company first; after that, ring (904) 920-5495.
What if a bird is nesting in the chimney?
We identify it first. Some birds are protected while nesting, and then the answer may be to wait with the fireplace closed off rather than remove the nest.
