Why should Newport homeowners check their chimney in July?
Summer humidity in Newport can trap moisture in your chimney, speeding up rust and mortar damage. A July inspection catches cracks, blockages, or creosote buildup before winter storms hit. Even if you rarely use your fireplace, birds or debris might have settled in. Schedule a sweep now to keep your chimney safe and efficient all season long.
What should Newport homeowners look for before calling a sweep?
Start by checking for white stains (efflorescence) on your chimney’s exterior—this often signals water damage. Inside, shine a flashlight up the flue: soot, cracks, or a strong campfire smell mean it’s time for a professional. Don’t forget to inspect the crown and flashing for gaps. If anything looks off, our team at Flint Flue can handle it. Serving all of Newport and nearby areas like Tiverton and Little Compton!
