3 Chimney Issues Marlton Homeowners Overlook in Fall, and How to Catch Them Before Winter
Marlton’s mix of autumn humidity and sudden cold snaps creates the perfect storm for chimney issues. Here’s what our crew sees most this time of year, and how to catch them before they become emergencies. First, creosote buildup turns into a sticky, flammable tar when damp wood burns. If you’ve used your fireplace a few times already, schedule a chimney sweep near me before it hardens into a dangerous crust. Second, animal nests, especially from squirrels or birds, block flues after summer. Check for unusual smells or smoke backing up when you light a fire. Finally, cracked mortar or rusted caps worsen with fall’s moisture. If your chimney’s crown looks crumbling or your cap is dented, call us before winter storms make repairs harder.
