Are you are ready for the cold weather to pass? If so, then you are not alone! As temperatures rise and flowers start to bloom, many are gearing up for outdoor fun and home renovations. Yet, with spring comes rain. Rain is great for nourishing our yards. However, all too often homeowners discover leaks in their chimney amidst these showers and storms. This can be serious and should be addressed right away.
Developing Problems Beforehand
So, why do leaks seem to suddenly appear every spring? Well, the problems really start beforehand during the fall and winter months. The dropping temperatures and excess moisture that your brickwork faces throughout these weeks, puts a lot of wear on your system, as a whole. The materials deteriorate at a faster pace and problems, such as rust, clogs, rot, and more, start arising all throughout your masonry.
On top of this, many chimneys experience the freeze/thaw process. This occurs when your brickwork absorbs water when temperatures are above freezing, then expands as this water freezes during extra cold days. When everything thaws out again, your chimney settles, creating a lot of extra pressure. All that stress does a lot of damage!
All of this wear and tear is why scheduling your annual inspection is so important! This regular maintenance gives sweeps the opportunity to do a thorough overview of your appliance and ensure that everything is working properly. Inspections are one of the best investments you can make for your chimney, and they help keep things running strong for years and years.
