The National Fire Protection Association states that the fireplace and chimney should be inspected annually with cleaning and repairs done, as necessary. A dirty chimney can be extremely dangerous. It can lead to smoke backing up in the home or worse, a chimney fire. A hot fire around 1000 degrees could easily ignite into a roaring chimney fire. At temperatures exceeding 2000 Degrees, flames and embers can easily land on your roof and ignite the wood framing of your home. The intense heat can also cause the flue to crack or collapse thus causing the interior walls of your house to burst into flames.

 

As masonry chimneys age they begin to absorb more & more water and are susceptible to water damage which left untreated can become structurally unsound and unsafe. The damages can go beyond just the chimney and include the insulation, drywall, framing and even trickle down to your floor.

Without the proper chimney cap, all sorts of critters can get inside your chimney and home. Chimney swifts, bats, possums, raccoons, squirrels, snakes, lizards, rats, and wasps are some of the most common. They all seek a safe to live and a refuge from storms. Once inside your chimney these critters can become trapped and may die. Besides the mess they make with food and fecal linked to respiratory diseases like Histoplasmosis. Once a bird has babies it will be 30 install caps or spark restorers and lock top dampers to prevent them from coming in repeatedly. Ask us about the New Energy Saving Lock Top Dampers.
