You might think you’ve got plenty of time to worry about getting your chimney inspected. It looks fine, there’s no smell or water damage evident. Plus, it’s not really a chimney/fireplace time of year. In reality, there’s no better time than now to get your chimney inspected! And while you’re at it, mark next year’s calendar too because getting that chimney inspected should be a regular, annual event.
Get a jump on getting your chimney inspected.
Your chimney and fireplace are not on the front of your mind right now and that’s exactly why you need to get your chimney inspected. No one’s thinking about it. That means that
- scheduling is wide open and you’ll be able to leisurely find a time that works best for your inspection, rather than fighting to find a time that lines up with a busy inspector’s schedule.
- If you take care of your chimney inspection now, you won’t be scrambling to get it done last minute in the fall or winter.
Here are more reasons to be proactive about your chimney inspection:
Lack of knowledge – …and that’s okay! It’s normal and happens all the time, but most people move into a home or begin renting one with a chimney and have no idea what condition that chimney’s really in. Don’t let that be you. For instance, how’s your cap? Do you even have one? Do you know what it is?
Safety – a lack of maintenance can lead to chimney and house fires. A regularly scheduled chimney inspection will prevent this. In fact, an annual chimney and venting system sweeping and inspection is recommended by the National Fire Protection Association and the Chimney Safety Institute of America.
Money – Many homes don’t get their chimney inspection, and they wind up getting them repaired because they didn’t take that time. Being proactive stops this. You will save so much more money on an inspection and sweep than you will when you have to have major repairs done.
Peace of Mind – The masonry of a chimney is made to last forever and hold up like a house, so chimney damage is something that you can’t really see and, the worse it gets, the more expensive it is to repair. If you get things checked out every year, you don’t have to worry about it!
