Your chimney needs regular inspection because when left unchecked, you’re likely to encounter a long list of really complicated issues that will have you pay more in repairs in the long run.
For some, the chimney serves only two purposes: giving warmth and beautifying the home. But the chimney is a complex mechanism whose interiors require expert care and attention. Without regular inspection, creosote might be building up from within the chimney lining and this could lead to house fires if left unaddressed.
If your chimney is left uninspected, you wouldn’t know what issues need to be fixed or addressed. Aside from the accumulation of creosote, your chimney could have some sort of blockage if it hasn’t been in use for quite some time. Once experts identify the blockage, they will be the ones to make sure it’s removed completely.
Another reason why inspection is important is that even structural problems of the chimney are addressed. The deterioration of brickwork because of excessive moisture leads to more serious damages if left unchecked.
