Chimney Fire Damage Insurance
Did you know that most chimney fires are invisible? Despite their invisibility, chimney fires can be deadly. Without regular cleaning and maintenance, a substance called creosote can build up in your chimney flue and alight, causing dangerous cracks, leaks, and damage to your chimney over time. This damage can be devastating, leading to full-blown house fires or even carbon monoxide poisoning for the inhabitants of the house.
If you’ve experienced a chimney fire, or think that your chimney may have experienced one of these “invisible” chimney fires, Irish Chimney Specialists can help.

All structures and parts of your chimney will be assessed internally and externally, from the flue to the stack and cap, to ensure that we cover everything and can get a wide idea of the total damage caused by the fire.
