Don’t wait too long before the chimney is in a shambles if it is a traditional chimney. The recommendation in recent times is for a lining of metal or clay that is safer, more hygienic and healthy. Annual cleaning is highly recommended before things go out of hand. Unclean chimneys with accumulated soot could give rise to fires and toxic gases. Thorough inspection is done with video imagery of the entire length of the flue to search for defects. Very often the crucial chimney is taken for granted and has perhaps never been looked at for years and decades! That remote part of the roof seems to be hardly looked at. Maybe the kids are afraid to get up to those steep areas and the parents are too busy. Our chimney rebuilding services leave nothing to chance Depending upon the extent of damage, you may need to go in for a partial or a complete rebuilding of the chimney infrastructure. If partial, only the top including the crown and flashing may need an overhaul. If complete, the brick layers would first have to be demolished and then rebuilt including the crown and flashing. Chimney rebuilding in DC would be able to restore the normal state of affairs and advise about maintenance. Most may not understand the need for urgent action. Leaking water getting in through the cracked bricks or crown could be serious enough. The truth is that only the chimney juts out from the roof and is exposed to the vagaries of the weather. Mortar would not last too long. Chimney rebuilding in DC should be made of stronger materials like stone or metal alloys. You better do it now or regret it later You have made a wise decision to attend to the state of your chimney health that could compromise family health since poisonous gases are released through the vent. The traditional brick vent is not considered feasible nowadays and it would be wise to have a protective steel liner that conveys the smoke to the outdoors. Creosote and carbon monoxide are those killer gases. Water mixed with leaching salt gives rise to the white stains on the outer chimney surface. If you can trust in the analysis made by Chimney rebuilding Contractors as you should in view of our extensive service in the Washington area, you would be satisfied. • A thorough inspection would reveal the truth of the state of the chimney. • Urgent and preventive action would be recommended and carried out immediately after approval. • Minimum disruption would be caused to the usual family life of school and office. • A traditional brick and mortar fireplace could be replaced with a factory made metal stove with all its advantages of energy efficiency, hygiene and eye catching spectacle. • Consult Chimney rebuilding Contractors for realistic evaluations and recommendations of urgent steps of rebuilding or replacement as required. Get to know your chimney before it is too late because family safety depends on it during those crucial months. Maintenance issues could be worked out even when the chimney is not in active operation since services are available around the year. Besides the annual check, Chimney rebuilding in DC may be required in emergency cases that you may not understand but Chimney rebuilding Contractors would convince of the facts.
