🏠 Homeowners! Do you know what the freeze/thaw effect is? 🥶

If you have a masonry chimney, you need to. As cold weather descends across the country, your chimney is being exposed to harsher elements.

Here's what you need to know:
➡️ Masonry chimneys absorb a tremendous amount of water.
➡️ As that water freezes, it expands and causes bricks and mortar to break apart.
➡️ Successive freeze/thaw cycles accelerate this deterioration, causing failure.

If you haven't had your chimney inspected in the last year, you need to. A CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep® will help you determine if there's been damage to your chimney from freeze/thaw.
