It's almost that time of year again, the time when we put away the air conditioners and pull out the space heaters. But, what we're really looking forward to is curling up next to the fire with a good book. That may still seem like a long time away, but it will approach quicker than you think. Right now, before fall, is the time to have your chimney inspected for the cooler months. If you live anywhere in New Jersey, like Morris County, chimney inspections can make your home safer.
Summer Build Up
During the summer, you probably didn't have the need to build a fire inside once. This leaves the opportunity for things to build up in your chimney, such as bird nests. Birds have a tendency to build nests around the tops of chimneys, providing a serious hazard. If they are large enough, they can actually block sufficient airflow needed to burn a fire. Setting a bird nest on fire could result in a house fire. Let us check for nests before you light up your fireplace for the first time.
