Why should I have my chimney inspected?
“The Indianapolis Fire Department would like to remind residents that chimney cleaning and repair should be part of a yearly maintenance routine. Creosote buildup in the chimney can spark a blaze and cause significant damage. In addition, cracks and holes in the chimney liner or mortar can become an avenue for sparks and embers to travel through and find a place to smolder.”“Chimney fire breaks out twice in 12 hours.” January 3, 2012, WTHR
