At English Sweep, we pride ourselves on delivering top-notch chimney and fireplace services. Recently, we had the opportunity to showcase our expertise by installing a new chase top for C. Laughlin in Ballwin, MO, following severe storm damage.
A Challenging Scenario: Post-Storm Restoration
When C. Laughlin reached out to us via an online search, she was dealing with the aftermath of a fierce storm that brought hail and strong winds. The damage was extensive, affecting her home's siding and chimney. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, we promptly scheduled an assessment to understand the full extent of the damage and to devise a plan for swift restoration.
Immediate Action: Same-Day Service
Understanding the importance of immediate action after such damage, our team mobilized quickly. Within hours of receiving C.Laughlin's call, we were on-site at her home in Ballwin. This rapid response is part of what sets us apart as premier chimney and fireplace experts.

It was clear that a new chase top installation was necessary to protect the chimney from further damage and moisture intrusion.
Expert Craftsmanship: Installing the New Chase Top
Our team began by carefully removing the damaged chase top while ensuring no additional harm came to the structure. We then prepped the area using RhinoRoof underlayment. This robust material provides an extra layer of protection against moisture, crucial during ongoing construction or repairs. The new chase top we selected was not only durable but also aesthetically pleasing. Made from high-quality metal, it promises longevity and resistance against future weather conditions.

The addition of a metal vent cap further enhanced its functionality by allowing optimal ventilation while preventing debris and moisture from entering.
A Seamless Integration: Preparing for New Siding
C.Laughlin's home required new siding due to storm damage, so our work was coordinated with other repair efforts. The RhinoRoof underlayment we used not only protected the chimney but also provided a solid foundation for future siding installation. The seamless integration of our services with other contractors ensured that Ms. Laughlin's home would be fully restored without any hitches.
