The cold winter months might be far behind, but that shouldn’t mean your fireplaces and chimneys are “out of sight, out of mind.” Today, we share a simple care task list for your chimney this summer.
Check Your Chimney Cap
The chimney cap serves as a barrier between your home and the outdoor elements, even during the summer when it’s not cold. It is the reason why there’s nothing falling down your chimney and entering your fireplace. This summer, make sure to give it a thorough check, taking note of any signs of deterioration. Depending on the extent of the damage, you may either have it repaired or replaced with the help of a chimney professional.
Clean your Chimney
Since it will be out of commission until the colder months, your dirty chimney can benefit from a thorough clean by a reputable chimney sweeps in your area. They won’t be of great demand in the summer, which means you can schedule one with them at your most convenient time.
Schedule Repairs
It’s never too early to prepare for winter. The best time to schedule repairs is during the summer season. The weather is generally pleasant at this time of year, which means the professionals can get the job done quickly and efficiently. Expect them to take their time in inspecting your chimney and fireplace as well to ensure that they are in top shape in time for fall and winter.
