Are Wintertime Chimney Repair Services Possible?
For many of us living in the Indianapolis area, when winter hits, the cold can cause potential problems for our homes – and the chimney systems that are part of them. You may be wondering…can chimney repairs even be done in winter? As it turns out, that’s a yes, no, and maybe answer depending on a variety of factors.
Winter can be a tricky time to carry out chimney repairs – though it’s still possible in most cases as long as it’s above freezing.
The best factor to consider when deciding whether repairs should be done during the colder months is the extent of the work required. If repairs are minimal and won’t require removing any brickwork or dismantling the structure of the chimney, then it usually can be done in winter.
However, if more extensive repair work needs to be carried out, such as a tear down or rebuild, these might require a wider range of tools, and it’ll really need to be thought through. Furthermore, even if the repairs can take place safely in winter conditions, there are other arguments for not doing so – like an increase in cost due to additional heating requirements or external weather conditions beyond our control.
Ultimately, it’s always best to consult with our certified chimney technicians to make sure that work will be completed both safely and cost-effectively. Worse case scenario…we wait until spring to get it done.
What Are the Risks of Repairing Chimneys in Winter?
Repairing a chimney in winter is a tricky – and sometimes dangerous – job. One of the biggest risks is having to get on roofs covered in snow or ice. We must take extra precautions in these circumstances to stay as safe as possible while we work. Another issue is dealing with frozen parts, which can make dismantling difficult – or even impossible until it thaws. This process can sometimes cause further damage, which will then need to be taken into account.
Then, there’s the issue of curing. Some materials simply won’t cure as well in the winter months, as they need to be in a particular temperature range to get those great, long-lasting results. This may mean our winter repair will only work as a temporary fix until the weather warms up and we can get the job done properly.
To avoid a winter repair, book your inspections annually – and early. This regulary maintenance can help prevent chimney problems, including potential hazards that lead to fires and might cause extensive damage to the home. Additionally, regular maintenance will increase property value and create more efficient heating within the home saving money on energy costs.
