After a storm, it’s tough for you to personally go check the potential damage or wear and tear of your chimney – The chimney cap, cracks, missing mortar… just to name a few. Some areas, if missed, may lead to water leaks and cause damage to the inside of your home.
Vital areas include:
- Check for shifting of any chimney component materials that can allow cold drafts, water and insects to intrude your home
- Determine if spalling has occurred or is a risk
- Determine if chimney saver can help curb the start of a larger near-term costly issue
While we’re at your home…Consider the last time you had your Dryer Vent Swept
After a long, cold winter, your clothes dryer exhaust has taken a beating with sweaters, pants, blankets, and more. There’s always lint that bypasses the trap with every load. The lint gets compacted to the insides of the exhaust causing your dryer to work harder and longer to dry your clothes – This wastes energy by using more gas and electricity. Getting the dryer vent cleaned will save you on energy costs.
