Personal Experience: A Day on the Chimney
Last winter, I arrived at a Windsor home for a routine Level 1 inspection. The homeowner had noticed a strange smell but wasn’t sure why. Inside, I discovered a thin layer of creosote along with a small crack in the flue liner—nothing major, but if left unchecked, it could have led to a chimney fire. We cleaned and repaired it that day, and the homeowner was able to enjoy their fireplace safely all season. Moments like this remind me why every chimney inspection matters—especially here in Windsor, where weather and heavy fireplace use can hide serious risks.
