Summer in Haddon Heights means open windows, backyard fires, and sudden storms—but is your chimney ready? Vincent N Chimney Inc. urges homeowners to schedule a pre-summer inspection now to spot hidden hazards before the season heats up.
Why Haddon Heights homeowners should check their chimney before Memorial Day
Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer in Haddon Heights, and that means more fireplace use, outdoor fire pits, and sudden summer storms. A neglected chimney can hide creosote buildup, cracked flues, or even critter nests—all of which become fire hazards when temperatures rise. Before you fire up the hearth, ask yourself: Have you noticed a smoky smell lingering in your living room after a spring rain? That’s often a sign of moisture damage in your chimney. Vincent N Chimney Inc. offers free estimates and licensed inspections to catch these issues early. Contact us to book before the summer rush.
What to look for in your Haddon Heights chimney this spring
Start with a quick visual check from the ground: Are there white stains or crumbling mortar on the bricks near your roofline? These could signal water damage, a common problem in Haddon Heights’ older homes. Next, inspect the chimney cap—if it’s missing or damaged, rain, leaves, and even squirrels can get inside. If you’re unsure what you’re seeing, our team can help. We serve Haddon Heights and nearby towns like Audubon, Collingswood, and Oaklyn. Schedule a licensed sweep to ensure your chimney is safe for summer use. Don’t wait until the first summer storm rolls in—book your appointment today.
