Chimney Inspection Process North Providence

Thorough Inspection, Clear Results

We start with a comprehensive visual inspection of your chimney system from top to bottom. That means checking the exterior structure, the interior flue, the damper system, and the firebox.

We’re looking for cracks, blockages, creosote buildup, animal intrusion, and structural issues that could affect performance or safety. We use proper equipment to see what’s happening inside the flue where problems often hide.

After the inspection, we sit down and explain what we found in plain language. If there are issues, we’ll prioritize them by safety and urgency. If your chimney is in good shape, we’ll tell you that too. You get a clear report and honest recommendations, not a sales pitch.

How often should I have my chimney inspected?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections, and that’s what we follow. Even if you don’t use your fireplace regularly, animals, weather, and time can create problems. An annual inspection catches issues while they’re still manageable and less expensive to fix. If you use your fireplace frequently – more than a few times per month during heating season – you might need more frequent attention, especially for creosote removal.
A Level 1 inspection covers the readily accessible parts of your chimney system – what we can see without special equipment. A Level 2 inspection includes video scanning of the flue interior and is typically needed when you’re buying a home, after a chimney fire, or when installing new equipment. We’ll recommend the right level based on your situation and won’t oversell you on services you don’t need. Most routine annual inspections are Level 1 unless there’s a specific reason to go deeper.
We provide free estimates, so you’ll know the cost upfront before we start any work. Inspection costs vary based on the type of inspection needed and your specific chimney system. We’re not the cheapest option in Rhode Island, but we’re also not the most expensive. You’re paying for CSI-certified technicians, thorough work, and honest recommendations. We’d rather give you an accurate estimate than surprise you with additional charges later.
Absolutely. We inspect and service all types of fireplace systems – wood-burning fireplaces, gas logs, pellet stoves, and wood stoves. Each system has different requirements and potential problems. Gas systems need attention to venting, connections, and carbon monoxide risks. Wood stoves require checking the chimney liner, clearances, and proper installation. We also have a retail stove store, so we understand these systems from installation through long-term maintenance.
We’ll explain what we found, why it’s a concern, and what needs to happen to fix it. Not every issue is urgent – some problems can wait until it’s convenient for you, while others need immediate attention for safety. We prioritize repairs by safety risk and give you options when possible. Since we handle both inspections and repairs, we can often take care of minor issues the same day. For larger repairs, we’ll provide a clear estimate and timeline.
Yes, and here’s why: unused chimneys can actually develop more problems than regularly used ones. Animals build nests, debris accumulates, and you won’t notice gradual deterioration. Water damage from damaged caps or flashing continues whether you use the fireplace or not. Plus, if you decide to use your fireplace after years of neglect, you want to know it’s safe first. An annual inspection is inexpensive insurance against expensive surprises and safety hazards.
