Chimney Safety Tips from SERVPRO

October is now behind us as... we also fell back with daylight savings time this past weekend. It's now time for holiday planning, dinners & family gatherings at home by the fireplace. Your local friends at SERVPRO want you to be safe and take precaution when getting the fire, chimney or other burning apparatuses ready for the winter. Have your chimney professionally cleaned and maintained yearly. Have them check for loose brick, mortar, open or loose valves. Does your chimney have a liner? Is it properly vented? Check these items as well as your carbon monoxide & fire detectors- when is the last time you replaced the batteries?  Make sure whomever you decide to go to service your chimney is licensed, trained and insured like your team at SERVPRO. Check the link below for The Chimney Safety Institute of America for more information about chimney liners and fireplace resources.
