Watch Out for Water Damage
Water damage is one of the most common issues we find when performing a chimney inspection. Heavy rainfall, severe storms, and hurricanes contribute to moisture in the masonry. Bricks are porous, and the chimney is located on the top of the roof, so chimneys are very susceptible to water leaks. Water can seep into the chimney and cause cracks in the masonry. Prolonged exposure can form mold or mildew within the flue, putting these harmful molecules back into your home. Rust is also an issue that occurs with water leakage and will reduce the integrity of the structure of the chimney. Do you smell a mildew-like odor from your chimney? Do you hear water droplets within your chimney? Give us a call to schedule your inspection to solve this for you as soon as possible, before it gets any worse.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's safe to burn in the fireplace?
You should only burn well-seasoned wood. Watch this video from the CSIA to learn what NOT to burn in your fireplace.
I heat with gas. Should this chimney be checked too?
Without a doubt! Although gas is generally a clean-burning fuel, the chimney can become non-functional from bird nests or other debris blocking the flue. Modern furnaces can also cause many problems with the average flues intended to vent the older generation of furnaces.
How often should I get my chimney swept?
According to The National Fire Protection Association Standard 211, “Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances. Cleaning, maintenance, and repairs shall be done if necessary.”
I'm unsure how to work my damper. Can you explain to me how?
This is a common question. If the damper is not functioning correctly or if it’s closed, you’ve got a situation on your hands that may lead to a smoky room at best and a fire hazard at worst. The damper is a hinged metal plate or valve used to seal the fireplace when not in use. You want the damper to be fully open, and you want it to be in the open position before you light your fire, for obvious safety reasons.
Hurricane Safety Tips
Hurricane season has arrived and we want to make sure we provide you with the best tips to keep your home and chimney as safe as possible.
-
- Shut the Fireplace Damper: When your damper is open during a storm, rain and moisture will get trapped in your chimney flue and that can cause many problems. If your chimney has been leaking, look into getting a Locktop Damper installed.
- Invest in a Chimney Cap: Essentially a chimney cap is a roof that goes over the hole at the top of your chimney flue. A properly installed chimney cap will keep most of the rain out while also adding extra protection against hurricane damage.
- Get a Chimney & Fireplace Inspection: Getting an inspection before any major storms or hurricanes occur can prevent any problems your chimney may have from worsening. If your firebox has cracks, any flooding or water build-up can cause severe structural issues.
