Neglecting to assess your chimney and fireplace can have significant, life-altering consequences for both you and your home. Chimneys are naturally prone to deterioration due to constant exposure to precipitation. Similar to a sponge, masonry chimneys are dry and porous, absorbing and releasing water. Over time, this repetitive cycle causes the brick and mortar to degrade, leading to a leaky chimney.
A leaky chimney results in discolored bricks, rusted chimney and fireplace components, mold growth, and unpleasant odors. These water-related issues are not exclusive to masonry units alone; even prefabricated chimneys can experience leaks that yield the same damaging outcomes. Therefore, it is crucial to have your chimney inspected regularly, even if it is not in use, to ensure a safe living environment and prevent costly damage to your home.
Fortunately, there is a proactive step you can take to avoid unforeseen circumstances arising from a neglected chimney. Allstar Chimney Leak Augusta is prepared to assist you in scheduling your annual inspection today, offering you the peace of mind that your chimney poses no threat to you or your home.
Breathe Clean Air
Blockages in your chimney will have serious negative effects on the quality of your air. Smoke is hard on the lungs, and if it’s not all going out the chimney, it’s coming back into your home and your body. Wildlife such as birds or squirrels run the risk of blocking proper ventilation, creating hazards for both your health and theirs.
The waste of these animals can also carry respiratory diseases. Allstar Chimney leak Augusta Teams have experience and training in humane animal removal and all chimney cleaning degrees. Certainly, hiring a professional is the best (and possibly only) way to solve an air quality issue that the chimney causes.
Sealants, Which Is The Best?
As you glance at a house from the street, your attention is drawn to a chimney situated on one side. It may not be the most prominent feature, but it catches your eye nonetheless. Due to the chimney’s constant exposure to changing weather conditions, from scorching sun to freezing-thawing cycles, there is an increased likelihood of it developing cracks. In some cases, previous sealants may have holes, leading to potential water damage, particularly to your home. Despite the inherent strength of bricks as structural materials, they have a tendency to absorb significant amounts of water. The most effective way to prevent damage caused by moisture and water is to apply a robust sealant to block any vulnerabilities.

Polyurethane Sealant:
