Frequently Asked Questions
What signs indicate that my chimney needs repair?
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.
How often should I have my chimney inspected and cleaned?
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?

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.
