How often should I have my chimney inspected in Johnston, RI?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections, and that’s especially important here in Rhode Island. Our coastal climate, freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy use during long winters can create problems quickly. Even if you only use your fireplace occasionally, animals, weather, and time can cause issues that aren’t obvious from the ground. An annual inspection catches small problems before they become expensive repairs or safety hazards. If you use your fireplace regularly or have a wood stove, yearly inspections are essential for your family’s safety.
A proper chimney inspection examines every part of your system from top to bottom. We check the chimney cap, crown, and flashing for damage or leaks. We inspect the exterior masonry for cracks or deterioration. Inside, we examine the firebox, damper, smoke chamber, and flue liner using cameras when necessary. We look for creosote buildup, blockages, structural damage, and proper ventilation. You’ll get a detailed report explaining our findings and any recommended repairs, prioritized by safety and urgency. This isn’t a quick look-around; it’s a comprehensive safety evaluation by CSI-certified professionals.
We provide free estimates for all our services, including inspections. The cost depends on your chimney’s size, age, and accessibility, but we believe in transparent pricing with no surprises. During our free estimate, we’ll explain exactly what the inspection includes and what you can expect. We also offer in-house financing if repairs are needed. Remember, a professional inspection costs far less than dealing with a chimney fire, carbon monoxide issues, or water damage. It’s an investment in your family’s safety and your home’s protection.
Absolutely, and these often need the most attention. Unused chimneys can develop serious problems without obvious signs. Animals may have nested inside, weather may have damaged the cap or crown, and the flue liner could have deteriorated. Dampers can rust shut, and blockages can form. If you’re thinking about using a fireplace that’s been dormant, an inspection is essential before lighting any fires. We’ll tell you exactly what needs to be done to make it safe for use again, or if it’s better left sealed. Don’t assume an unused chimney is a safe chimney.
Call us immediately if you smell smoke in your home when using the fireplace, notice white staining on the outside of your chimney, or see rust on the damper or firebox. Other urgent signs include damaged chimney crown, missing or loose chimney cap, or animals or birds in your chimney. If your fireplace isn’t drawing smoke properly or you hear sounds from the chimney, don’t wait. Water leaks, cracked masonry, or damaged flashing also need immediate attention. These aren’t problems that fix themselves, and they can quickly become dangerous or expensive if ignored.
We’re a full-service chimney company, not just inspectors. Our team handles everything from minor repairs to complete chimney restoration and new installations. We work on wood stoves, pellet stoves, gas fireplaces, and traditional masonry fireplaces. We also have a retail stove store for equipment needs. This means when we find problems during an inspection, we can fix them properly with the same crew that found them. You’re not dealing with multiple companies or getting passed around. One team, complete service, and we’ve been doing it the same way since 2000.
