Look out for signs like crumbling mortar, cracked bricks, water leaks, rusted damper or chimney cap, or a strong odor coming from your chimney. These can be indications of underlying issues requiring professional repair. It's important to address these problems promptly to prevent further damage and maintain chimney safety.
It is recommended to have your chimney inspected and cleaned at least once a year to ensure proper functioning and to prevent potential hazards such as chimney fires or carbon monoxide leaks. Regular maintenance helps remove creosote buildup and identifies any structural issues early on.

What are the advantages of choosing masonry construction?
Masonry construction offers several advantages. It is highly durable, resistant to fire, and can withstand various weather conditions. It provides excellent thermal mass, helping to regulate indoor temperatures and improve energy efficiency. Additionally, masonry structures often require minimal maintenance, making them a long-term and cost-effective choice.
