Each year an estimated 22,300 chimney fires occur, causing an average of 20 deaths per year. Even if a fire doesn’t happen, a faulty chimney can be harmful to your health and cause structural damage to your home.
Use the following Safety Checklist to inspect your chimney:
Odors – Creosote buildup or mold can cause odors in a fireplace.
Intruders – Fireplaces are attractive to bird nests.
Ventilation – When the ventilation is compromised, carbon monoxide can build up in your home or smoke can puff back into your living area.
Masonry – Cracks and breaks in the masonry can compromise the safety of the fireplace.
Cleaning – Routine cleaning promotes proper airflow and reduces creosote buildup.
There are several Chimney Repair companies in the Jackson area that are CSIA certified available for consult.
