Failure to properly inspect and maintain a chimney can result in dangerous situations, including chimney fires, carbon monoxide leaks, and structural collapse. Regular inspections help prevent these risks by identifying problems early.
Key components of a chimney include the chimney cap, which prevents debris and animals from entering; the chimney liner, which protects the structure and enhances safety; and the damper, which controls airflow and heat retention. Ensuring these parts are in good condition is crucial for safe operation.
