How often to do a reparative maintenance?
Experts recommend a thorough inspection at least once a year, accompanied by any reparative maintenance and repairs that are deemed necessary. A chimney serves to drive excessive heat upwards and outside of your house. Therefore, any unsealed cracks can leak fire into the adjacent walls – leading to structural damage or worse, house fire. Also, a defect can fail to draw gases and smoke away from the house – leading to an accumulation of toxic gases that, once inhaled, can cause illness.
Hire a certified professionals who can thoroughly inspect whether it has an incorrect building technique, missing mortar, and/or cracked tiles – and provide the necessary repairs.
