CSI certified inspections that catch problems before they become disasters in Foster Center.
Hear from Our Customers
You’re not just checking a box when you get your chimney inspected. You’re getting real answers about whether your family is safe every time you light a fire.
A proper inspection catches the stuff that causes house fires and carbon monoxide problems. Cracked flue liners, damaged crowns, blocked vents, creosote buildup that’s ready to ignite. The problems that insurance companies ask about and that turn cozy nights by the fire into emergencies.
When we’re done, you’ll know exactly what’s working, what needs attention, and what can wait. No surprises, no scare tactics, just the truth about your chimney’s condition so you can make smart decisions about your home.
We’ve been doing chimney work in Rhode Island since 2000 with the same core team of professionals. That’s over twenty years of seeing what goes wrong, what works, and how to fix problems the right way the first time.
Our technicians are CSI certified through the Chimney Safety Institute of America. That means we’re trained to national safety standards, not just winging it or learning as we go.
We’re not the cheapest option in Foster Center, and we’re upfront about that. You’re paying for certified expertise, quality work, and the peace of mind that comes from dealing with professionals who’ve been doing this longer than most companies have existed.
We start with a complete visual inspection of your chimney from top to bottom. That means getting on your roof to check the crown, cap, and flashing, then examining the firebox, damper, and smoke chamber from inside.
We’re looking for cracks, deterioration, blockages, and creosote buildup. We check that your damper opens and closes properly, that water isn’t getting in where it shouldn’t, and that everything is structurally sound.
You get a detailed report of what we found, complete with photos of any issues. We explain what needs immediate attention for safety, what should be addressed soon to prevent bigger problems, and what’s fine to monitor. No pressure, no inflated problems, just honest assessment from certified professionals.
