Every comprehensive fireplace maintenance visit should begin with a thorough inspection of all of its components. The exact inspection process will vary depending on which type of fireplace you have as well as whether or not it is vented through a chimney.

In preparation for the colder seasons, it is recommended that homeowners have a full inspection performed on their fireplace and chimney. This helps ensure everything is functioning as it should and there are no blockages or creosote buildup that could put your home at risk of a fire. If you are planning to use your fireplace in the upcoming months, call United Home Services today and we will make sure it is in prime condition to work efficiently and risk-free.

No matter what kind of fireplace you have in your home, it is important to stay on top of giving it the proper attention in order to make sure it continues to function effectively and safely.
