Pompano Beach, FLOn this stretch of coast, a chimney emergency usually arrives with weather attached. A tropical band peels a cap off a canal-front stack at midnight. Wind-driven rain finds a crown crack and a ceiling stain doubles in size before dawn. A squall drops a seagrape limb across the flue the same week you planned the season's first fire. And sometimes it is smoke — rolling into the living room instead of up the stack.
For all of it, the number is the same. Our emergency line connects to this family every hour of every day, not to a service reading a script. You get instructions over the phone while we are en route, the active damage stops when we arrive, and come back in daylight with a free written quote for the lasting repair. No overnight pricing theatrics — just the problem, handled.
If smoke is entering the house, stop the fire, keep people and pets back, and ventilate. Leave the damper alone until every ember is dead out.
Tell us what you see — where water is showing, what the wind took, what the smoke did. You will get immediate instructions from a person who has handled the same situation on this same coastline.
Tarps over a breached crown, temporary sealing at the flashing, a torn cap secured or removed, a blocked flue opened. The goal at 2 a.m. is simple: no more damage tonight.
Once the weather clears, we assess the underlying failure properly and hand you a free written quote for the permanent repair — on your timeline, at the quoted price.
A real person answers day or night — no machines, no waiting until Monday. We'll talk you through it and get out fast.
Water actively entering the house at the chimney, smoke coming into a room, visible storm damage like a missing cap or leaning masonry, or a blocked flue you need working. The test is simple: if waiting until morning means more damage or more risk, call the line now.
Someone in this family. The line is ours, not an answering service, and during named storms we triage — active water intrusion and smoke situations come first.
Stabilized, yes. We can tarp, seal, secure, and clear enough to stop active damage whenever the roof can be worked safely. The permanent repair waits for daylight and dry weather, as it should.
Treat it as one. Rollout has a cause — a blocked flue, a stuck damper, a draft problem — and the cause will not fix itself. Keep the fireplace idle until we have found it. Trying again first risks a room full of smoke, or worse, fire where it does not belong.
