Why local chimney safety cannot wait
- NFPA estimates thousands of home clothes dryer fires occur annually-year after data-year in the U.S., often tied to lint buildup — a reminder that dryer vents need clearing alongside chimney service.
- Under IRC Chapter 10, factory-built fireplaces and chimneys must be installed to listing and manufacturer instructions; improper clearances or missing components are common inspection findings.
- A Level 1 chimney inspection documents accessible portions of the chimney and connected appliance — the baseline most homeowners need each year.
