Visalia, with its 3798 people per square mile, means many homes are close together, and a well-maintained chimney is crucial for safety. The process starts with a visual check. First, look at the outside of your chimney. Are there any loose bricks, crumbling mortar, or cracks in the chimney cap? These are signs of wear and tear that need attention. Next, check the inside. Open and close the damper. Does it move freely, or is it rusted and stiff? Look up into the flue. Can you see a thick, black, tar-like substance? That's creosote, and it's a major fire hazard. If you see any of these issues, it's time to call a professional. We make it easy to get your chimney inspected and cleaned. You'll get clear information about your chimney's condition.
