Michigan's cold climate drives significant fireplace usage. Extended periods of cold weather mean more fires, leading to faster creosote buildup. This flammable residue is a primary cause of chimney fires. Our humid summers can also affect masonry, causing potential water damage. We inspect for these issues diligently. Many Michigan homes have older brick chimneys, which require careful handling and expertise. We understand the unique demands of the Michigan environment and its housing stock.
