It’s so important to have the professionals come in and do a thorough chimney inspection. We may find work that needs to be done to restore your chimney to its maximum efficiency.

One thing that may have happened without you even being aware of is a chimney fire. When most people think of a chimney fire, you think of a roaring, crackling, catastrophic event. Unfortunately, this is not usually the case. In fact, because of a lack of oxygen inside your chimney, most chimney fires burn out before the homeowner is even aware of it. This is unfortunate because it means there may be chimney damage that you aren’t aware of. This could include major structural damage that adversely affects your family’s safety. If there are cracks or breaks in the chimney mortar, then dangerous gases could be leaking back into your home.

What Goes Wrong?

So what could possibly happen to your chimney for it to need a rebuild? The first thing that comes to mind is your chimney most likely experienced a chimney fire. A major reason that chimney fires occur is that you have an excessive amount of creosote build-up. Creosote is the material that builds up from the smoke that your fire emits. The chemicals in the smoke rise. When the warm air reaches the cooler interior of your chimney, it condenses onto your chimney and forms creosote, which is a highly flammable.

There are a couple of reasons for an excessive build up of creosote. One reason is because you’ve neglected to have your chimney cleaned yearly. Another reason is the type of wood you’re using. If your wood hasn’t been cured properly, or you’re using the wrong type of wood such as softwoods or pine.

Another cause for a chimney rebuild could be weathering. Over time, the weather can cause the mortar of your chimney to break or crack. When rain gets in the pores of your masonry and freezes, it expands and causes cracking. As this cycle continues, the more damage your chimney get. And the longer this goes unchecked, the bigger and more expensive your repair or rebuild become.
