Warwick’s August Chimney Check: What to Look For
Warwick’s humid summers can accelerate creosote buildup in flues, even when you’re not using the fireplace. Start by checking for visible cracks in the masonry—especially around the crown or flashing—using a flashlight from the ground. If you spot gaps wider than a credit card, call us at Peter & Simon Chimney Co before moisture seeps in. Also, test your damper’s operation; a stuck damper wastes energy and risks carbon monoxide leaks. For a deeper look, our certified sweeps use cameras to spot hidden blockages in your Warwick home’s unique brickwork.
Why August Matters for Warwick Chimneys
Warwick’s coastal air speeds up rust in chimney liners, while summer storms loosen mortar. A neglected flue can trap heat, creating a fire hazard when you finally light the first fall fire. We’ve seen too many Warwick homeowners face costly repairs in October because they skipped August maintenance. Schedule a free estimate now to lock in summer pricing and avoid fall rush. Our team also checks for nesting pests—squirrels and birds love Warwick’s older chimneys—before they cause blockages.
