This depends on a variety of factors, such as the age of the chimney, the material it is made of, and the area you live in.
As a rule of thumb, we recommend inspecting your roof after each intense weather event. This can include a snowstorm/blizzard, heavy rainfall, or even after particularly strong winds.
There are a few things you can do to inspect your chimney for potential damage.
Using a pair of binoculars, stand outside your home and take a good look at your chimney. At a glance, do you notice anything different in its appearance? Keep an eye out for visible cracks in the chimney, loose or deteriorating mortar between the bricks, or tilting of the chimney as a whole. We also recommend checking for any sign of animal activity, as critters such as birds, squirrels, and raccoons often like to build their nests on chimneys and may involuntarily cause damage.
You can also check for chimney issues inside your home. If you’ve noticed water leaks/stains or unpleasant odors coming from your fireplace, you may be dealing with a chimney leak.
Proper chimney maintenance is a vital component of having a home. The potential consequences of improper chimney maintenance may include:
- Water infiltration in the home
- Chimney fires caused by the creosote buildup in the chimney
- Carbon monoxide poisoning caused by obstructions in the chimney
- Complete chimney collapse caused by a leaning or tilting chimney
- Roof or shingle damage caused by a leaning or tilting chimney
- Smoke backdraft caused by an obstructed chimney or improper chimney ventilation
In most cases, chimney repair projects can be completed within one day. In the case of a more complex chimney issue, it may take up to two full days for the problem to be resolved.
