Signs Your Chimney Needs Repairs
The first step in getting your chimney back in shape is being able to detect when there is a problem. Here are a few things to look out for:
Crumbling brick:
If the mortar that combines the bricks together -- or the bricks-- are starting to crumble, it's time to give us a call. Brick has a long lifespan, but still needs some fixes now and then.
Damage to the wall near the chimney:
If the wallpaper or paint beside the chimney is beginning to look damaged, it's a sign of a buildup of moisture inside the chimney.
Rusted damper:
The damper is the mechanism which allows you to open and close the chimney. If it starts to rust, it's another indication of extra moisture. Moisture can create cracks, which may lead to an inability to regulate heat. This can lead to a home fire, so it is not something to take lightly.
