How To Prepare For A Chimney Inspection

The summer starts to creep away and the days become shorter. The last thing you want to think about is the winter and what to do to prepare for it. The cold winters are ahead. There is no way to avoid it. The maintenance of the yard, house and yes, your chimney should be on your mind. You don’t want to be sitting out in the cold without being able to get an appointment for a sweep or an inspection. Call Chimney Solutions of Indiana at (317) 757-6979 today to schedule your appointment.

Our team at Chimney Solutions will be able to identify any issues you may have. If you schedule now, we can take care of any repairs needed before the upcoming winter. Our schedules are flexible and will match your availability.

What You Need To Do To Prepare For Your Chimney Inspection

Cool Fireplace

Be sure your fireplace is cool. Don’t make a fireplace in it for 24-48 hours. You may take the ash and put it in your garden. Your garden will love you for it. Or leave it in the firebox and the technician will remove it.

Accessibility

Be sure to leave space in your driveway so the technician can park close to the house. They will be bringing in equipment from their truck. The easier their access, the better. Also, clear a path to the fireplace. Put away toys or decorative items that can be tripped on or broken.

Pets

If you have family pets, be sure they are in another room, locked away. We love your furry friends, but they may not understand what we are doing. We wouldn’t want them upset with us. It’s best to cage them or put them in a different room away from your fireplace.

Communicate With Your Technician

 Now is the time to bring up any issues you may have noticed. Anything out of the ordinary such as foul smells, any water that may be leaking, or condensation build up. Write down your questions. Days before your inspection review with your family what needs to be addressed. Our technicians have a wealth of knowledge. They would be more than happy to sit and talk to you about any issues chimney related.

Our technicians are professionals. At Chimney Solutions of Indiana, we are experienced in all aspects of chimneys. They can provide information on all the services that we perform. You can ask them about inserting chimney caps and crowns, chimney lining, as well as any masonry work. All you have to do is ask.

With summer quickly coming to an end, don’t be left out waiting for service this fall. Be sure to schedule your appointment today. We will sweep, inspect, and make repairs as well as recommendations. Plus, we can get the job done before fall arrives.
