Why You Need Regular Chimney Inspections
A fireplace offers dependable warmth, creates a welcoming ambiance, and lends to the aesthetic appeal of your home. Needless to say, a fireplace is an asset, but if it isn’t properly maintained, it can become a dangerous liability. Routine chimney inspections are a vital part of fireplace maintenance. Why? With regular use and constant exposure to the elements, a chimney can experience a lot of wear and tear. Over time, that wear and tear can damage, reduce efficiency, and even compromise the structural integrity of a chimney. Chimney inspections are meant to detect any issues before they become major problems.
According to the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA), routine chimney inspections are a vital part of fireplace maintenance. During a chimney inspection, a certified and experienced professional will conduct a thorough assessment of the entire structure. A reputable technician will inspect all elements, such as the cap, crown, flue, masonry, and even the firebox and damper, checking for signs of damage. If any issues are detected, they’ll let you know and can make the necessary corrections. In short, routine chimney inspections will improve efficiency and ensure the safety of your fireplace, your home, and your family.
When Do You Need a Chimney Inspection?
You should arrange to have your chimney professionally inspected at least once a year; ideally, right before the cold weather arrives, or soon after it ends. If you use your fireplace on a regular basis, however, you may need to have your chimney inspected more frequently. There are several signs that indicate a chimney inspection is necessary. If you’re experiencing any of the following, contact Smoke Alert Home Fire Safety, North Carolina’s leading chimney inspection company, right away.
· Fires aren’t burning as efficiently as they usually do
· Smoke is billowing into your house
· Unusual odors, such as a strong campfire smell
· Rust in the firebox
· You’re having a hard time operating the damper
· Visible moisture in the firebox
In addition to the above, if you’re modifying your chimney or fireplace, you’re chimney has been damaged (by a fire or sever weather, for example), or you just moved into a house that features a fireplace, a professional chimney inspection is strongly recommended.
