We prepare all year for the upcoming winter season. We book our chimney sweep and yearly inspection, not to wait for the last minute. But we just can’t predict when a large snowfall will come knocking at our door.
Snow, freezing rain, and wind can all wreak havoc on your chimney. What’s worse is the freezing-thawing effect. These winter elements will cause stress and strain on your chimney. The bricks and mortar, if not properly protected with repellant can leak or break down. Snow heaves around the base of your chimney can cause the lifting of the flashing. Prolonged snow on your roof near the base of your chimney can cause leakage.
There are so many things to consider as the winter season approaches. Be sure that you have scheduled your sweep and inspection. This way you can address issues before they become problems.
Your chimney needs a way for smoke to escape. If smoke can escape; then rain, snow, debris, and animals can get in.
An expert in chimney repair and service can identify issues that need addressing. The sooner you identify small issues the better. This will save you time and money in the future.
Winterize your chimney when you get your inspection.
A chimney cap will protect the entrance of the chimney from snow getting in. A chimney cap is a good idea for rain and snow protection. It also serves by keeping debris and animals from entering.
Some general maintenance to be considered.
You can light a fire when it is snowing. It is important to prime your chimney so the smoke goes up the chimney and does not come back into your home. To do this, roll a stack of newspapers up. Light it and place it close to the damper. This will provide warmth to prime the chimney. Lighting a fire with a cold chimney will only prevent the smoke from going up and out.
