How often should I have my chimney inspected in Melville?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections, and this is especially important in Melville’s coastal environment. Salt air and moisture can accelerate deterioration of chimney components, making regular inspections crucial for safety. If you use your fireplace regularly during Rhode Island’s cold winters, annual inspection ensures creosote buildup and other issues are caught early. Even if you rarely use your fireplace, animals, weather, and time can create problems that only a professional inspection will reveal.
A certified chimney inspection examines your entire chimney system from top to bottom. We check the exterior masonry, chimney cap, crown, and flashing for damage or deterioration. Inside, we inspect the firebox, damper, smoke chamber, and flue liner using specialized tools and cameras when necessary. We also evaluate proper clearances, ventilation, and any stove or insert installations. Our CSI certification means we follow industry standards for thorough inspection, and you receive a detailed report explaining our findings and any recommended actions.
