Throughout the year, your chimney
takes a beating from outdoor elements, as well as the heat, smoke, and moisture that
pass
through it during the cooler months. Nests built by squirrels, raccoons,
and other animals also cause obstructions in the flue.
These conditions lead to wear and tear on
the bricks, concrete, shielding, and sealing materials that all contribute to
the chimney's smooth, safe operation. When cement begins to crack or bricks
start to break off and fall down the chute, airflow is disrupted and
contaminated air can build up and blow back into the home. Even worse, a
serious fire hazard may develop.
The best way to avoid this situation
is to have your chimney inspected regularly and to stay on top of minor repairs
before they become major ones. Argonaut's chimney repair specialists can
provide cleaning, crown repairs, reinforcement, waterproofing, chimney cap
installation, and anything else it takes to make sure the air in your home stays
clean and healthy.
Best of all, we can inspect and/or
repair your chimney at the same time we examine your home for insect
