What Storms Do to Chimneys
A chimney stands above the roof and catches the full force of the wind. Chimney damage after hurricane winds usually begins at the top, with a chase cover or a chimney cap blown off the flue, because those parts are only fastened at their edges, so hurricane chimney damage repair starts there. Wind-driven rain then pours into the open flue or the chase. Strong gusts can also loosen the top courses of brick and crack an old crown, and lightning can shatter masonry or crack a flue liner.
Making It Safe First
Right after a storm, loose brick and an open flue are the urgent problems. We remove or secure masonry that could fall, cover an open flue or chase so rain stops getting in, and make sure the fireplace is not used until the chimney has been checked. Hurricane chimney repair work then follows in daylight and fair weather.
Repairing the Damage
Wind damaged chimney repair covers new caps and custom chase covers fastened for high wind, relaid brick at the top, crown repair and refitted or new flashing. After a lightning strike, we look closely at the flue, because a cracked liner is easy to miss and dangerous to use.
Keeping a Record of What Happened
From the ground, photograph the chimney and anything that landed in the yard, and keep the files with their dates. A short note of when the storm came through, when the first water or damage appeared and any steps you took to limit it is useful later. We give you a written record of the work we did, which you can share with your insurance company if you choose.
Questions We Answer Often
What should I do if the chimney cap blew off in a storm?
Stop using the fireplace and close the damper, because rain and animals can now get straight into the flue. Keep people clear of any metal or brick on the roof or in the yard. Then arrange a new cap, ideally stainless steel and fastened for high wind.
What happens when lightning strikes a chimney?
Lightning can crack or blow apart masonry at the top of the chimney, damage the crown and crack the flue liner inside. Some damage is visible from the ground and some is not. Do not use the fireplace until the chimney and the flue have been inspected.
Is there a chimney cap that holds up in a hurricane?
No cap is storm-proof, though a stainless steel cap with strong mounting and extra fasteners holds far better than a light galvanized one. For a framed chimney, a custom chase cover with a proper skirt and screws on every side resists high wind best.
What counts as chimney damage from a storm?
Storm damage includes caps and chase covers blown off and bricks or crown pieces knocked loose. Flashing lifted by wind and masonry or liners cracked by lightning count too, and new water in the fireplace after a storm usually means one of these parts has failed.

Signs This Job Is Due
After a hurricane or a hard summer storm, the chimney is one of the first places damage shows: a cap or chase cover blown off, bricks loosened at the top, flashing lifted, water suddenly in the fireplace. Our Stuart crew makes it safe first, then repairs each damaged part and checks the rest of the chimney while we are up there.
- A cap or chase cover missing or hanging after high wind
- Bricks, crown pieces or metal on the roof or in the yard
- Water in the fireplace that was not there before the storm
- Flashing lifted or bent at the roof line
- Scorch marks or cracked masonry after a lightning strike
