Getting an inspection is first!
The first thing that you’ll need to do to get your chimney all geared up for the winter season is get an inspection. You should get an inspection at least once every year, no matter what. Even if your chimney was working just fine last winter, you still should have an inspection done. During the inspection, any Fort Worth chimney repairs that need to be done will be revealed. There are so many different things that could be wrong with a chimney, which is why the inspection is so important. Sometimes, your chimney will be functioning just fine, but during an inspection the need for some extremely important Fort Worth chimney repairs will pop up. An example of this is the need for new refractor panels. These panels are in prefabricated chimneys and are meant to be replaced when they begin to crack and deteriorate. If they are never checked out by a professional, you could keep using panels that need to be replaced, and this could result in an unintentional fire.
Sometimes, you will think you need Fort Worth chimney repairs, but all you really may need is a good cleaning. Just 1/4” of soot buildup can significantly interfere with proper ventilation and functioning of a chimney. Most homeowners choose to just go ahead and get a cleaning when they get the annual inspection done. You don’t necessarily have to do this, though. The frequency at which you must get a cleaning directly corresponds to how often you use your chimney, so if you don’t use it that often, you may not need a cleaning once a year. As a general rule, we recommend that people get a sweep for every cord of wood they burn. If you aren’t sure if you need a cleaning or Fort Worth chimney repairs, the technician who performs the inspection will be able to tell you.
