Hi [Tenant's Name],
Thank you for submitting a work order for a chimney inspection. We appreciate your proactive approach to home maintenance. Please be aware that fireplaces and chimneys are routinely inspected during the make-ready process, ensuring they are safe and ready for use. This work order is now considered closed. Should you have any additional questions or concerns related to the chimney, please do not hesitate to contact us.
As a friendly reminder, our policy is that fireplaces should only be used as a main heat source in emergencies. If you encounter issues with your heater, please submit a work order, and our team will promptly assist you.
Here are some essential fireplace safety tips for your reference:
- Always ensure that the damper or flue is open before starting a fire.
- Keep the area around the fireplace free from potentially flammable items, such as furniture, drapes, newspapers, books, and more.
- If ceramic logs are not already in place, use dry and well-aged wood. Avoid wet or green wood, as it leads to increased smoke and chimney soot buildup.
- Never leave a fire in the fireplace unattended. Make sure it is fully extinguished before going to bed or leaving the house. If you need to leave the room while the fire is burning or the fireplace is still hot, please take your small child with you for their safety.
If you have any further questions or require additional assistance, please feel free to reach out to us.
Best regards,
