Hosting Thanksgiving? Here’s Why a Chimney Inspection is a Must.

You have waited all year for the cooler weather to come around so you could start a fire in your fireplace. With the shorter days and cooler nights the fireplace becomes an essential part of your day. Cozying up with a blanket and a hot cup of coffee is the zen that you have been waiting for. The holidays are just around the corner. You may be the one hosting Thanksgiving this year. Now is the time to concentrate on the safety of burning that fire in your fireplace. So, you may be thinking, what should I do to make my burning season a success without any issues? Let’s dive right in and start to talk about that. 

Chimney Inspection

Start each year with a chimney inspection. Doodlebuggers is an excellent source of information for you. There are different times of the year that are the “right” time to have your inspection. 

• Annually. Be sure to get your chimney inspected on an annual basis. Finding out that there is an issue is much more productive and less costly than avoiding it. Just do it annually. 
• Before you start to use your fireplace. Once you start to put away the summer toys it is time to make that appointment with Doodlebuggers for your annual chimney inspection. Calling and making an appointment now would be beneficial as you will miss the rush. Once the colder weather sets in we will get busy and getting an appointment at your convenience may be difficult. 
• Before buying or selling your home. Don’t be surprised by unexpected requests from a buyer. Get the inspection done before you put your house on the market. You will have documentation that it is in good working condition. For peace of mind, pay the money to have the inspection done before you finalize buying a home for yourself. You may also ask the seller to have it done. 
• After any significant weather events. If you live in an area where there are weather events that can damage the structure of your home or chimney, it is advisable to have your chimney inspected.
