Now that winter has passed, your likely won’t use your fireplace as the temperature begins to rise. After a long winter, you’ll need to clean it and schedule fireplace repairs as needed. Summer is the best time for maintenance, as it’s a relatively slow season for chimney contractors. To ensure yours is cared for and ready for next winter, schedule your appointment during the warmer months for the following reasons. 

Advantages of Fireplace Repairs in the Summer

1. Warm Weather Helps Material Settle

If the masonry on your chimney or fireplace is damaged, you’ll need to repair it before future use. Crumbling mortar may lead to a collapse. Summer is ideal for repair because warm temperatures help masonry and waterproof materials cure well. This is integral, as water can seep into the masonry and cause it to erode and crack. 

2. Summer Provides a Better Work Environment

Winter temperatures and snow are much more difficult to work in and can draw chimney and fireplace repairs longer than necessary. In summer, they can safely address the issue without worry of the elements having a significant impact.

3. Repair Professionals Are More Available 

You rely on your fireplace to keep you warm during winter. The time you have for fireplace repairs is limited if you don’t want to freeze. Chimney and fireplace relining and reconstruction can take time, and since you won’t need your system, contractors will have more availability to work on it. This can lead to them getting the job done more quickly.
