Avoiding Further Issues
If you’ve noticed cracks, holes, or other types of deterioration throughout your chimney for your furnace, wood stove or fireplace, it’s best to address them as soon as you can. These issues can affect the performance of the chimney. Cracks, holes, and deterioration are entry points for water to enter the masonry and damage the chimney from outside to inside. Putting off repairs will only lead to further damage down the line, and you definitely don’t want to light up any fires or turn your home heating appliance on until things are properly addressed. And with colder temperatures and the holidays coming up quick, we want you to enjoy your fireplace and home heating appliance all season long!
