Pauma Valley Professional Chimney Care Services
Your home’s chimney might be your quietest and least used part of the home, but it’s also the part that’s linked to many different components such as its flue (the tube), damper (the lid), crown (the bit above the top tile), liner (the base), springing (the thing that makes it possible for the bricks to make holes). Because of this, few homeowners realize how much damage there could be if they neglect to maintain their chimney. To prevent that kind of damage, here are some common chimney damages and how to avoid them.
Cracked mortar
This can happen if the mortar between bricks is cracked or if there’s too much pressure on the corners of the bricks when they’re assembled together. It’s important to check your chimney regularly for cracks and cracks in mortar before they get bigger—don’t wait until you notice a problem!
Damaged flue
If you have a damaged flue, it won’t be able to carry heat from your fireplace into your home or office space as efficiently as it should be able to do so. If this happens, you’ll want to take action as soon as possible so that your fireplace doesn’t become unusable!
Damaged lining
The lining inside your chimney is what keeps smoke from escaping during use or when it rains outside; if this lining becomes damaged.
Benefits of a Professional Chimney Inspection

Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning
Chimney inspections are an important part of home maintenance and safety. Regular chimney inspections can help prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, which is a serious health hazard. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas that can be produced by burning fuel in a home. If the chimney is not properly maintained, this gas can build up and cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Identifies firehazards
Additionally, the inspection can help to identify any potential fire hazards, such as creosote buildup, which can be a serious fire hazard. By having a professional inspect the chimney regularly, homeowners can rest assured that their chimney is safe and free of any potential hazards.
