How often should I have my chimney inspected in Rhode Island?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections, and that’s especially important in Rhode Island’s coastal climate. Salt air and moisture accelerate deterioration of chimney components, while freeze-thaw cycles can worsen existing cracks. Even if you don’t use your fireplace regularly, the chimney system is still exposed to weather year-round. Annual inspections catch small issues before they become expensive problems and ensure your system is safe when you do want to use your fireplace.
A basic chimney sweep focuses primarily on cleaning creosote and debris from the flue. A CSI-certified inspector conducts a comprehensive evaluation of the entire chimney system – structure, components, safety systems, and potential hazards. We’re trained to identify issues like damaged flue liners, deteriorating mortar joints, improper installations, and ventilation problems that could create carbon monoxide risks. The certification requires ongoing education to stay current with safety standards and building codes. It’s the difference between cleaning and actually evaluating safety.
We provide free estimates for all our services, including inspections. The investment varies depending on the type of inspection needed and the complexity of your chimney system. A basic Level 1 inspection for a standard system costs less than a comprehensive Level 2 inspection that might be needed before selling a home or after a chimney fire. We’ll explain exactly what type of inspection your situation requires and provide transparent pricing upfront. No hidden fees or surprise charges – you’ll know the cost before we start.
We’ll explain exactly what we found, why it matters, and what your options are. Some issues need immediate attention for safety reasons, while others can be planned and budgeted for over time. We use photos and plain language to help you understand the problems and solutions. You’ll get a written report with our findings and recommendations. There’s no pressure to hire us for repairs – our job is to give you accurate information so you can make informed decisions about your chimney system and your family’s safety.
Absolutely, and it’s actually more important to inspect unused chimneys than active ones. Dormant chimney systems can develop serious problems that aren’t obvious from the outside – damaged flue liners, animal nests, structural deterioration, or blocked vents. These issues can create dangerous conditions if you decide to use the fireplace again. We’ll evaluate whether the system is safe to use, what repairs might be needed to restore it to working condition, or if it should remain out of service. Many homeowners are surprised by what we find in “unused” chimneys.
Yes, we service all types of chimney systems – traditional masonry fireplaces, prefabricated fireplaces, wood stoves, pellet stoves, and gas appliances.
