How often should I have my chimney inspected in Newport?

Annual inspections are recommended for regularly used chimneys, especially in Newport’s coastal environment where salt air accelerates deterioration. If you use your fireplace frequently during winter months, yearly inspection catches small problems before they become expensive repairs. Even if you rarely use your fireplace, inspection every two to three years ensures the system remains safe and code-compliant. Insurance companies often require documentation of regular inspection, and many won’t cover chimney-related damage without proof of proper maintenance.
We examine the entire chimney system from top to bottom—checking the chimney cap, flue liner, damper operation, firebox condition, and exterior structure. Inside, we look for creosote buildup, blockages, damaged liner, and proper ventilation. Outside, we inspect mortar joints, brick condition, flashing, and chimney cap integrity. We test damper operation and check for carbon monoxide risks. In Newport’s coastal climate, we pay particular attention to salt air corrosion and water damage that can compromise structural integrity and create safety hazards.
We provide free estimates for all chimney inspection services. The actual cost depends on your specific chimney type, accessibility, and any additional services needed. Basic inspection for a standard residential chimney is straightforward, while historic homes or complex systems may require additional time. We believe in transparent pricing—you’ll know the cost upfront before any work begins. Many homeowners find that regular inspection actually saves money by catching minor issues before they become major repairs requiring extensive reconstruction.
