Your prefabricated chimney needs many of the same services as their masonry counterparts. One of the best ways to improve the lifespan of your prefab chimney is to have the chimney swept and inspected at least once per year.

One of the most common issues associated with prefabricated chimneys is damage to the chimney chase cover. The chase cover is the metal top of the chimney that protects the flue from moisture, debris, and animal entry. Inexpensive aluminum chase covers may begin to rust after years of exposure to the elements; this often presents as staining on the sides of the chimney.

Missing caps are another common prefab chimney issue. Unfortunately, this problem – and many other chimney issues – can only be uncovered during a chimney inspection. Because of this, regular chimney service is an important part of keeping your prefab chimney burning safely and efficiently.

Maintaining Your Prefab Chimney

No matter how frequently or how rarely you use your chimney and fireplace, keeping up with annual maintenance is important – and we’re here to help!  The best thing you can do to keep your chimney working well and serving you and your family for as long as it should is show it some professional TLC. When you take proactive steps to care for your chimney system (like scheduling annual inspections and cleanings), you can prevent many major issues from arising down the line. However, despite having regularly scheduled maintenance, even chimneys that are properly cared for can occasionally require repairs. 

After all, your chimney has many different parts working together for optimal function, just like your own body. When even one of these parts isn’t working properly, it can cause the entire system to fail or operate at a lower level of efficiency and safety. That’s why it’s so important to schedule dedicated chimney repairs as soon as a problem is identified. You can rely on our team to find the perfect solution to resolve any issue.
