CHIMNEY Repair Princeton
Do You Know if the Chimney, of Your Princeton Home, is a Disaster in Waiting?
What is do most homeowners overlook, even in Princeton?
If you said the fireplace or chimney, you would be correct. The chimney and fireplace silently work to provide a warm and comforting environment. Due to their quiet and comfortable features, homeowners often forget to have their chimney checked or inspected regularly. The fireplace is obviously visible, but the chimney is only visible from the exterior and sits perched on the roof of your Princeton home.
Shockingly to some homeowners, the exterior chimney is just as important as the interior fireplace. A chimney in good physical shape looks significantly better and is more appealing, than a cracked or leaning chimney with crumbling mortar and missing bricks. Similarly, when the exterior masonry is well maintained, your home is protected against animals, insects, and moisture.

Princeton Chimney Repair – What Causes the Damage?
What causes chimney damage? That is a good question. Many things can stress or damage your chimney, including natural wear and tear, the amount and type of wood burned, birds, and other animals, and the most significant cause are the elements. Princeton, TX is known for rain, lightning, hail, tornadoes, and intense sun and heat. Weather-related damage builds up as the chimney ages and will eventually take its toll.
