The summer months are the best time to get your chimney inspected by a professional to see if it requires repairs or cleaning. Getting chimney repair and cleaning services before the arrival of the winter season will help you avoid being put on a waiting list for chimney services.
Your chimney sweep will also let you know if your chimney cap needs to be replaced. You can hire our CSIA certified chimney sweeps for chimney repairs in Cromwell, CT.
Here are some major signs that indicate that your chimney cap needs to be replaced.
If your chimney cap has become extremely rusted, it would be a good time to get it replaced.
Rust and corrosion on a chimney cap can compromise its functionality. When a chimney cap becomes heavily corroded, it can easily come apart. Small animals like rats and moles can also easily enter the chimney flue through the broken or weakened chimney cap.
A mortar joint is the space between the bricks or masonry in a chimney. It is usually made out of grout or mortar. These joints help the smoke from the fire stay within the chimney.
If these joints get cracked or come apart, it’s important to address the issue because this can be a fire hazard. You can reach out to our chimney sweep in Wethersfield, CT, if you need your chimney cap replaced.
If gusts of wind are blowing down your chimney flue, your chimney cap could be broken or missing. You might also get soot and ash being blown into your home.
