Chimney Inspection Process New Shoreham

What Happens During Your Inspection

We start with a complete visual examination of your chimney exterior, checking for cracks, damaged mortar, or signs of water infiltration. Then we move inside to inspect the firebox, damper, and smoke chamber.

Using specialized cameras and tools, we examine the flue liner for damage, blockages, or creosote buildup. We test the damper operation and check all connections if you have gas appliances.

You get a detailed written report explaining our findings in plain English. If repairs are needed, we explain what’s urgent versus what can be scheduled for later. No pressure, no scare tactics – just honest assessment from certified professionals who know what they’re looking at.

More Than Just Inspections

Beyond inspections, we handle fireplace restoration, chimney repairs, and installations of wood, pellet, and gas stoves. We operate a retail stove store, so we understand these systems inside and out.

New Shoreham’s coastal environment is tough on chimneys. Salt air accelerates deterioration of metal components and mortar joints. We’ve seen how weather patterns here affect different chimney types and know which problems are common in waterfront properties.

We offer in-house financing for larger projects and always provide free estimates. Our goal is fixing problems correctly the first time, not creating ongoing service calls. That’s why homeowners who value quality work keep coming back to us.

How often should I have my chimney inspected in New Shoreham?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual inspections, but New Shoreham’s coastal location makes this even more important. Salt air accelerates corrosion of metal components like dampers, caps, and flue liners. We typically see more weather-related damage here than in inland areas. If you use your fireplace regularly during winter months, annual inspections catch small problems before they become expensive repairs. Even if you rarely use your fireplace, the chimney structure still needs checking for water damage, animal intrusion, or deteriorating mortar joints.

What's the difference between a CSI certified inspector and other chimney services?

CSI certification from the Chimney Safety Institute of America means we’ve completed rigorous training on safety standards, inspection protocols, and proper repair techniques. Many chimney services are just general contractors who occasionally work on chimneys. CSI certified professionals study fire science, understand how different fuel types affect chimney systems, and know the building codes specific to chimney construction. We’re required to complete continuing education to maintain certification. When insurance companies or real estate transactions require professional chimney inspections, they typically specify CSI certified inspectors because the training standards are nationally recognized.

How much does a chimney inspection cost in New Shoreham?

We provide free estimates for all our services, including inspections. The cost depends on your chimney type, accessibility, and whether additional testing is needed. A basic Level 1 inspection for a standard masonry chimney typically costs less than a Level 2 inspection required for real estate transactions or after chimney fires. We don’t use inspection fees as loss leaders to sell unnecessary services. Our pricing reflects the time needed to do thorough work with certified professionals. We’ll explain exactly what’s included in your inspection and what it costs before we start.

Can you inspect chimneys for wood stoves and pellet stoves too?

Absolutely. We inspect and service all types of chimney systems – masonry chimneys, prefab chimneys, wood stoves, pellet stoves, and gas appliances. Each system has different requirements and potential problems. Pellet stoves need different cleaning schedules than wood stoves. Gas appliances require checking for proper venting and carbon monoxide issues. We operate a retail stove store, so we understand how these different systems work and what can go wrong. Whether you’re burning wood, pellets, or gas, we know the safety requirements and inspection standards for your specific setup.

What happens if you find problems during the inspection?

We explain everything in plain English and prioritize issues by safety level. Some problems need immediate attention before you use the fireplace again. Others can be scheduled for repairs during off-season when costs are typically lower. We don’t use scare tactics or pressure sales. You get a written report detailing what we found, what each repair involves, and realistic timeframes for getting work done. We offer in-house financing for larger projects, but many repairs are smaller maintenance items that prevent bigger problems later. Our goal is keeping your chimney safe and functional, not selling you services you don’t need.

Do you work on chimneys year-round or just during heating season?

We work year-round, though spring and summer are actually ideal times for chimney repairs and maintenance. You’re not competing with emergency calls from heating season, scheduling is more flexible, and you’re ready when cold weather returns. Many homeowners wait until fall to think about their chimney, then discover problems when they need heat most. Off-season work often costs less and gets completed faster. We handle emergency repairs during winter, but planned maintenance during warmer months is easier on everyone. New Shoreham’s seasonal property owners often prefer spring inspections after winter weather and before summer rentals.
