Chimneys that are not maintained properly have a tendency to “go wild”. That is, they break apart and become a danger to your home. For instance, if a chimney collapses on your home, you may be dealing with much more than roof damage. There may be danger to you and your family.
This is precisely why regular maintenance is such a key. In fact, it would probably be wise to consider it a home utility. Your home will cease to be a safe place to live if you do not take care of the structural integrity of the chimney. Get in touch with a local chimney professional today.
