Burke Brothers Chimney Issues Winter Chimney Safety Alert for Elizabeth Homeowners
Burke Brothers Chimney is issuing a winter chimney safety alert for Elizabeth residents as colder temperatures and increased fireplace use raise the risk of chimney fires and carbon monoxide exposure. Homeowners seeking chimney inspection Elizabeth NJ are encouraged to schedule evaluations early, before winter heating systems are used daily.
Founded in 2003 by brothers Ian and David Burke, Burke Brothers Chimney has spent more than two decades helping New Jersey homeowners identify and prevent chimney-related hazards. According to the company, many winter emergencies stem from issues that are hidden from view, including internal flue damage, creosote buildup, blocked chimneys, and deteriorating masonry.
“Winter is when small chimney problems become serious safety threats,” said company owner Ian Burke. “We often see preventable damage that could have been addressed with a routine inspection before the heating season began.”
Common Winter Chimney Hazards
- Creosote accumulation, a leading cause of chimney fires
- Cracked or damaged flue liners
- Blocked chimneys from debris or nesting animals
- Smoke-draft issues causing indoor air contamination
- Carbon monoxide leakage from poor ventilation
Burke explains that older homes in Elizabeth are particularly vulnerable, as aging chimneys may not meet modern safety standards or handle consistent winter use.
