Lepel District Gas Supply informs about measures to prevent freezing of chimney heads

During the winter season, when the outdoor temperature is below freezing, the walls of the chimney cool down significantly, leading to increased condensation of water vapor. Frost causes ice plugs to form in the upper sections of the chimney.

  Therefore, during winter, homeowners must inspect the tops of chimney flues at least once a month, and also during periods of sharp drops in outdoor air temperature, to prevent icing and blockage.

  These measures will help avoid accidents when using natural gas in domestic settings.
