More helpful chimney tips:
- Get your chimney flashing inspected (the seal between the chimney and the roof). Flashing prevents rain water and snow melt from entering your home and causing costly water damage to your walls and ceilings.
- Have a sealing damper installed in your wood-burning chimney to save energy dollars and eliminate unpleasant off-season odors.
- Install a high quality, long lasting chimney cap to keep out debris and prevent birds, animals and insects from nesting in your chimney.
- Make sure you have an appropriate chimney liner. This is something your service company can check for you. Chimney liners are required in new construction to separate hot heating system emissions from the structure of your home.
