Q: How do you know if a chimney needs to be replaced?

• <div><p>Visible signs that call for repair include cracks in the structure, the bricks, or mortar as well as loose bricks, flaky mortar, and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/chimney-leaking-inside-house.htm">chimney leaks</a>. Some less obvious signs are dampness, discoloration, and efflorescence, a white substance that can look like a pale stain on the bricks. All of these indicate water damage, which can be devastating to a chimney&rsquo;s safety. </p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of a pellet stove?

• <div><p>Pellet stoves are much more energy efficient than traditional fireplaces, and the pellets they burn create fewer emissions, leaving indoor and outdoor air cleaner. Plus, the biomass pellets are made from recycled materials, making them even more eco-friendly. You can also adjust the temperature of a pellet stove and go about most of your day without needing to tend to it.</p></div>

Q: What is a dummy chimney?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re looking for a cost-effective alternative to a traditional chimney, consider having a dummy chimney installed. Dummy chimneys can either be aesthetic-only or fully functional and can be installed on both new and older homes. Whether installed to match your neighborhood&rsquo;s aesthetic or to vent your chimney, dummy chimneys are made out of a Glass-Reinforced Plastic (GRP) core, then covered with brick or stone slips to look like a traditional chimney.</p></div>

Q: How long does a chimney last?

• <div><p>Like other kinds of masonry and brickwork, a properly installed chimney should have a lifespan that extends beyond multiple generations of homeowners. But there are parts of the chimney that will need to be replaced more frequently. </p><ul><li><p>Clay tile or cast-in-place liners should be replaced every 50 years.</p></li><li><p>Stainless steel liners will last an average of 15&ndash;20 years.</p></li><li><p>Mortar will require replacement every 25&ndash;30 years.</p></li><li><p>Chimney crowns have an average lifespan of 50&ndash;75 years.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Why do you need to inspect a fireplace?

• <div><p>An annual inspection can ensure that a fireplace is in proper working order to avoid fire hazards and the release of carbon monoxide into the home. Not all fireplace issues, especially blockages, are easily visible from inside or outside the home, which is why a professional must conduct a thorough internal inspection of all of the fireplace and chimney components.</p></div>
