Why Might You Need a Chimney Inspection?
Having a chimney can be a lovely, comforting addition to any home, creating a warm and relaxing ambience. However, chimneys require maintenance. When buying a new home, you will want to know what type of condition it is in and if the chimney has been well-taken care of.
There are several possible problematic conditions that may appear with chimneys. The most dangerous would be the presence of creosote buildup, which is the cause of most chimney fires. A second possible problem condition is soot, which can restrict airflow as well as damage the fireplace area. It is also not uncommon for foreign objects such as a bird’s nest or other debris to clog any chimney.
