Some of the most common things that we have found when inspecting chimneys is that there is a missing or damaged chimney cap and that there is a broken or missing chimney damper. In most cases both of these issues are easily handled, although left in a state of disrepair there is an endless list of problems that can come about:

  • Animals getting into your chimney.
  • Water leaks.
  • Roof fires due to burning particles escaping the chimney.
  • Drafting issues.
  • High air conditioning and heating bills.
  • …and so on.
  • Getting annual repairs will save you money!
