Inspections & Prevention

A safe and efficient chimney starts with proper inspections and preventative maintenance. At Seacoast Chimney, we provide detailed chimney inspections and preventative services designed to identify issues early, reduce fire risks, and extend the life of your chimney system.

Why Inspections & Prevention?

Our certified technicians perform thorough chimney inspections based on industry standards (NFPA 211). Whether it’s a routine annual check or an in-depth video inspection, we provide clear, detailed reports on your chimney’s condition.

By catching problems early, we help you avoid costly repairs and ensure your fireplace, stove, or heating system operates safely.

How often should you inspect your fireplace and furnace flues

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 211) recommends that all chimneys, fireplaces, and vents be inspected at least once a year, regardless of how often they are used.

  • Annual Inspections – Even if you don’t use your fireplace often, yearly inspections help identify hidden issues like water leaks, animal nests, or structural damage.
  • Cleanings – If you burn wood regularly, your chimney should be cleaned every cord of wood burned, or at least once per year to prevent creosote buildup.
