What Causes Most Chimney Damage?

Water is the most destructive element a chimney can face. Whether through the top of the flue or seeping into cracks in masonry, moisture eventually wreaks havoc. Other common causes include a damaged or deteriorated chimney liner, extreme temperatures and chimney fires, hidden defects from past installation, and missing components like caps or crowns.

How Often Should a Chimney Be Inspected and Repaired?

In accordance with the NFPA and CSIA, homeowners should have chimneys inspected at least once a year, before the first use of the season. When you notice strange behaviors or inefficiencies, call your local professionals right away — addressing repairs promptly prevents greater harm and higher costs down the line.

Are they friendly and willing to answer your questions? What do their reviews look like, and how do they respond to them? Garden State Chimney checks all of these boxes — and then some.
