Chimney Maintenance
Like inspections, regular maintenance and aftercare are crucial for the health of your chimney. Inevitably at some point, a chimney clean-up procedure is required. With routine care, we can detect early signs of chimney problems and carry out suitable interventions on time. Doing so reduces the amount that you spend on repairs and replacements. Sometimes your chimney just needs minor repairs if there are cracks or other damage present. Other times, if you haven't had it repaired for a long while, you will have to have it rebuilt. When you keep up with your maintenance requirements, you don't have to worry about your chimney breaking down in the middle of the winter. We are equipped to carry out chimney maintenance in Saint John to ensure your safety and optimize its functioning.
Why are Inspections and Maintenance Important?
For chimney-owners, inspections and maintenance might seem cumbersome. However, inspections are a necessity for the safety of those on your property. Some reasons for regular chimney inspections are:
- Creosote buildup : Using your chimney produces by-products such as smoke and vapour, which ultimately form a black coating known as creosote. Creosote is highly flammable, and lack of inspections can cause its accumulation to go undetected and cause a fire.
- Harmful vapours : Winds can bring numerous items such as twigs, leaves and animal and bird nests into your chimneys. If left unchecked, the accumulation of these items will obstruct your chimney and force harmful vapours from your fireplace to enter your property.
- Worsening damage : Numerous types of damage can occur to your chimney. For instance, there might be cracks on the walls of your chimney due to use. These damages are often invisible to laypeople and can become worse over time. Extensive damage will require expensive repairs or a possible replacement.
- Optimize functioning : A chimney that hasn't been inspected for a long time will most definitely have a range of problems, such as cracked crowns and broken flue liners. This will keep your chimney from functioning optimally.
