After Heavy Rain or Wind

Storm & Rain Damage Chimney Evaluations

Heavy rain and wind can expose loose caps, failed seams, lifted metal, flashing gaps, and water-damaged chase materials. After a storm, we evaluate visible chimney and fireplace concerns, document damage, and prioritize the repairs that protect the home first.

Questions

Storm & Rain Damage FAQ

Should I use the fireplace after storm damage?
Avoid using it when water, debris, displaced components, or venting damage is suspected until the system is evaluated.
Can you help document visible damage?
Yes. We provide photos of accessible findings and a written repair estimate for work within our scope.
Is every post-storm leak caused by the chimney?
No. Roof, wall, plumbing, and other sources can resemble a chimney leak. We focus on the chimney, fireplace, and adjacent roofline components we can evaluate.
Do you provide temporary covers?
Temporary measures depend on safety, access, weather, and the damaged component. We will explain available options after evaluation.
