August chimney checklist: What Murfreesboro homeowners should look for
Start by checking for white, chalky residue (efflorescence) on your chimney’s exterior—common in Murfreesboro’s clay soil areas like Lascassas. Inside, inspect the firebox for crumbling mortar or warped grates. If you notice a musty odor or soot stains near the damper, it’s time for a sweep. Don’t forget to test your chimney cap for rust or missing mesh. For a deeper dive, our seasonal guide covers local climate-specific risks. Need help? Contact us for a same-day appointment.
