CSI-certified chimney inspections that catch problems before they become emergencies.
Hear from Our Customers
You shouldn’t have to wonder if your chimney is putting your family at risk. A proper inspection gives you clear answers about what’s working, what needs attention, and what can wait.
When your chimney system is functioning correctly, you get reliable heat without worry. No concerns about carbon monoxide. No fear of house fires. Just the comfort of knowing a certified professional has checked everything thoroughly.
Most chimney problems start small and get expensive fast. Catching issues early means fixing them before they turn into major repairs or safety hazards. That’s the difference between a $200 fix and a $2,000 emergency.
Certified Chimney Inspections has been serving West Warwick homeowners since 2000. The same core team that started this work over twenty years ago is still here, still working on chimneys every day.
Every one of our technicians holds CSI certification from the Chimney Safety Institute of America. That means they’ve completed rigorous training on chimney safety, proper inspection techniques, and current industry standards.
We formally established our company in 2016, but our experience goes back much further. When you’re dealing with something as important as your family’s safety, experience matters.
Your inspection starts with a thorough visual examination of the entire chimney system, inside and out. Our technician checks the firebox, damper, smoke chamber, flue liner, and exterior chimney structure for any signs of damage or wear.
Next comes testing the draft and checking for proper ventilation. This ensures smoke and gases are moving up and out of your home the way they should. Any blockages, cracks, or structural issues get documented with clear explanations.
You receive a detailed report of findings with photos when needed. No confusing technical jargon – just straightforward information about what’s good, what needs work, and what timeline you’re looking at for any repairs.

Beyond inspections, we handle the full range of chimney and fireplace work. That includes cleaning, repairs, restoration, and new installations. Having one company that can handle everything from start to finish saves you time and ensures consistency.
We specialize in fireplace restoration and all types of stove installations – wood, pellet, and gas. We also operate a retail stove store, so we understand the equipment from both the sales and service sides.
West Warwick’s older homes often need chimney work that goes beyond basic maintenance. Whether it’s updating an older system to current safety standards or restoring a historic fireplace, our experience with local housing stock makes a difference in getting the job done right.
