Is your Cumberland chimney ready for fall? Check these 3 things now
Summer storms and humidity can leave cracks or blockages in your chimney, especially in older Cumberland homes near Valley Falls or Cumberland Hill. Start by looking for white, chalky stains (efflorescence) on bricks—common after heavy rain. Next, check the chimney cap for rust or debris; a clogged cap can trap moisture and damage liners. Finally, inspect the flue from the attic if safe: soot buildup or a musty smell means it’s time for a professional sweep. Need help?
