More Than Just Inspection

Your chimney inspection includes everything needed to determine your system’s safety and condition. We examine structural components, check for proper ventilation, and test damper operation.

Providence’s freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on chimney masonry. We know exactly where to look for the hairline cracks that turn into major leaks. Our inspections catch these issues while they’re still manageable.

When repairs are needed, we handle everything from minor maintenance to complete fireplace restoration. Wood stoves, pellet stoves, gas inserts—we work on all types of heating systems and carry the parts most jobs require.

How often should I have my chimney inspected in Providence?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections, and Providence’s weather makes this especially important. Our freeze-thaw cycles cause expansion and contraction that can create cracks in masonry and damage flue liners. Even if you only use your fireplace occasionally, moisture and weather exposure continue year-round. An annual inspection catches small problems before they become expensive repairs and ensures your system is safe when you need it.
A chimney inspection is a comprehensive safety evaluation of your entire chimney system—structure, liner, damper, cap, and flashing. We’re looking for damage, deterioration, or hazards that could affect safety or performance. Cleaning removes creosote buildup and debris from the flue. While cleaning is often needed, inspection comes first to identify any issues that could make cleaning unsafe or ineffective. Many problems we find during inspections have nothing to do with cleanliness—they’re structural or ventilation issues that only a trained eye can spot.
We provide free estimates for all our services, including inspections. The cost depends on your chimney’s complexity, accessibility, and what level of inspection is needed. A basic Level 1 inspection for a regularly maintained chimney costs less than a Level 2 inspection required after damage or before selling a home. Rather than give you a generic price range, we prefer to assess your specific situation and provide accurate pricing upfront. No surprises, no hidden fees—just honest pricing for thorough work.
We document everything with photos and provide a detailed report explaining what we found. You’ll understand exactly what each issue means for safety and cost. We prioritize problems by urgency—what needs immediate attention versus what can be planned for later. There’s never pressure to authorize repairs on the spot. Take time to review our findings and get answers to your questions. When you’re ready to move forward, we handle repairs with the same thorough approach we bring to inspections.
Yes, our technicians hold CSI certification from the Chimney Safety Institute of America. This isn’t a weekend course—it requires extensive training on chimney construction, safety codes, and proper inspection techniques. CSI certification means we follow industry standards for identifying hazards and documenting findings. You can verify our credentials, and we’re happy to show you our certifications. Many companies claim expertise, but certification proves we have the knowledge to keep your family safe and protect your investment.
Absolutely, and this is actually crucial for safety. Unused chimneys still face weather exposure, animal intrusion, and deterioration over time. Before you start using a dormant fireplace, you need to know it’s safe. We often find issues in unused chimneys that would create serious hazards if the system were fired up without inspection. Blocked flues, damaged liners, or compromised structure can turn your first cozy fire into a dangerous situation. An inspection ensures everything is ready for safe operation.
