Early Times Chimney Sweeps- Common Chimney Problems

	IS MY FIREPLACE SAFE?
	A chimney scan or chimney video inspection is recommended when the house is changing owners. The video inspection is the most accurate way to assess the condition of the chimney liner. The homeowner gets a front row seat to viewing the interior of the chimney. This will reveal hidden breaching, cracks, and deteriorated thimble, missing mortar joints. And, in the end – seeing is believing.

	SMOKE PROBLEMS
	There are several ways in which Early Times Chimney Sweeps may help solve your smoke problems. Two of the solutions are explained below: The Vacustack is an excellent solution for a wind induced downdraft which may result in smoke filling your room. The Exhausto fan sits directly on top of the fireplace chimney and pulls smoke upwards and it is the ultimate solution for a fireplace with a poor draw.

	LOSING HEATED AIR?
	Dresher energy saver air vents – Early Times Chimney Sweeps can install this vent in the back wall of a masonry fireplace, when the fireplace is located on an outside wall of the home. It is a wonderful energy saver because it draws cold air from the outside into the fireplace to be used in the burning process instead of using heated air from the home. When installed properly they are designed to last a lifetime, which translates into no replacement costs.
