Severe weather finds the tallest part of your house. Here is what to do and how we make it right.
Wind, falling limbs, hail and lightning all take aim at the chimney. After a storm you may see fallen bricks or a bent cap, or you may see nothing from the ground while the flue is cracked inside. Either way, it is wise to have a professional look before you light a fire.
We make the area safe first, assess all the damage, including hidden damage in the flue, and document it with dated photos for your insurer. Then we repair or rebuild with matched brick, new caps and flashing so the chimney is ready for the next storm.
Safe and covered.
Camera when needed.
