Why Framingham’s summer weather matters for your chimney
Framingham summers bring high humidity, heavy rain, and even the occasional microburst. These conditions can cause bricks to expand and contract, loosening mortar and letting water seep in. Older chimneys or those with cracked crowns are especially vulnerable. A quick inspection now can spot trouble before it turns into a costly repair. Learn the signs your chimney needs attention.
Should you schedule a summer chimney cleaning in Framingham?
If your fireplace hasn’t been cleaned since last winter, summer is a great time to book a sweep. Creosote buildup from winter fires can trap moisture, leading to rust in the flue or even a chimney fire risk. Framingham homeowners who wait until fall often face long wait times.
