Specific components are critical for chimney safety. The flue liner is paramount; cracks or gaps, whether in clay tile or metal liners, can allow dangerous heat transfer or permit toxic gases to enter living spaces. A certified chimney inspector evaluates liner integrity, often using video scanning for a complete view. The chimney cap and spark arrestor are also checked-a missing or damaged cap allows debris entry leading to blockages, while a functional spark arrestor helps prevent roof fires. Techniques include visual checks for liner damage from the firebox or roofline and internal scans. Material assessment looks for heat stress signs or breaches. Certified Chimney Inspections provides these safety-focused evaluations for Harrisville homeowners, understanding the safety needs in RI.
