There are a few reasons to do this, but most importantly, you&#8217;ll want to make sure your chimney is in good working order before the heating season begins. Here are a few other reasons to have your chimney inspected by a 2nd Generation Chimney Technician this summer.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Easier access<\/span>. Because the technician will have to gain access to the top of the chimney to check for cracks or other obvious damages, it is much easier to work with a ladder if there&#8217;s no snow on the ground.\u00a0 If it is a level 2 inspection that requires the use of a video camera, then there&#8217;s less chance that the extreme weather or moisture will damage the camera.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Animal control<\/span>. Animals tend to nest in chimneys more in the spring time, because that&#8217;s when mothers look for a place to have their young. It is better to have the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.2ndgenerationchimneys.com\/chimney-cleaning-and-sweeping\/chimney-cleaning\">animals and nests removed<\/a> before the fall when you start to use your fireplace or wood stove again.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Time for needed repairs<\/span>. If your chimney is damaged in any way, we will have more time to make the necessary repairs before winter. This is especially important if you\u00a0 need a new flue liner. You will have more time to make a decision about which one to install. We can also seal your chimney while the weather is warm if you have cracks in the mortar or crown.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.2ndgenerationchimneys.com\/contact\">Contact 2nd Generation Chimneys, Inc.<\/a> today to schedule your yearly Blaine chimney inspection and cleaning.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While you may not think about your chimney in the summer months, it is a good time to schedule your yearly Blaine chimney inspection service.
