Chimney Inspection Process

Here's What Happens During Your Inspection

We start with a visual inspection of your chimney’s exterior, checking the crown, cap, flashing, and masonry for damage or wear. Then we move inside to examine the firebox, damper, and smoke chamber.

Our certified chimney inspector uses specialized tools to assess the flue liner condition and check for obstructions, creosote buildup, or structural issues. We document everything we find with clear explanations of what each issue means for your safety and your wallet.

After the inspection, you get a straightforward report that prioritizes any problems we’ve found. We’ll tell you what needs immediate attention for safety reasons and what maintenance items you can plan for down the road. No pressure, no rush to decide—just the information you need to keep your chimney functioning safely.

Complete Fireplace and Chimney Services

More Than Inspection—Full Chimney Care

Your chimney inspection comes with access to our complete range of chimney and fireplace services. We handle everything from basic cleaning and minor repairs to full fireplace restoration and stove installations.

Our team knows how coastal conditions in Narragansett Pier affect chimney systems. Salt air, moisture, and temperature changes create specific challenges that require local expertise and quality materials that hold up over time.

We also operate a retail stove store, so whether you need a new wood stove, pellet stove, or gas fireplace installation, we can handle the entire project from selection to installation. Plus, we offer in-house financing and free estimates on all services, making it easier to address any issues we find during your inspection.

How often should I have my chimney inspected by a certified professional?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections, and that’s especially important here in Narragansett Pier where salt air and coastal weather can accelerate deterioration. Even if you don’t use your fireplace regularly, animals, weather, and time can create safety hazards that aren’t visible from the ground. An annual inspection catches small problems before they become expensive repairs and ensures your chimney is safe when you want to use it. If you use your fireplace frequently during winter months, you might need more frequent cleaning, but the inspection schedule stays the same.

What's the difference between a regular chimney sweep and a certified chimney inspector?

A certified chimney inspector has completed specialized training through organizations like the Chimney Safety Institute of America and passed rigorous testing on chimney systems, safety codes, and proper inspection procedures. While a basic chimney sweep focuses primarily on cleaning, a certified inspector evaluates the entire system for safety, structural integrity, and code compliance. We look for issues like damaged flue liners, deteriorating mortar joints, improper clearances, and other problems that could create fire hazards or carbon monoxide risks. Our CSI certification means we stay current with industry standards and best practices through continuing education.

What should I expect to pay for a professional chimney inspection?

Chimney inspection costs vary depending on the type of inspection needed and what we find during the process. A basic Level 1 inspection for a regularly used, well-maintained chimney costs less than a Level 2 inspection required when selling a home or after a chimney fire. We provide free estimates, so you’ll know the cost upfront with no surprises. Keep in mind that a thorough inspection by certified professionals often saves money in the long run by catching problems early. We also offer in-house financing if the inspection reveals repairs that need immediate attention for safety reasons.

Can you inspect my chimney if I haven't used my fireplace in years?

Absolutely, and unused chimneys often need inspection more than regularly used ones. When chimneys sit unused, animals build nests, debris accumulates, and deterioration happens without anyone noticing. The damper might be stuck, the cap could be damaged, or water might be getting in and causing hidden damage to the flue or surrounding structure. Before you use that fireplace again, you need to know it’s safe. We’ll check everything from top to bottom and let you know what needs attention before you light your first fire. Many homeowners are surprised by what we find in “unused” chimneys.

Do you only do inspections, or can you fix problems you find?

We handle the complete range of chimney and fireplace services, from basic cleaning and minor repairs to major restoration work and new installations. If our inspection reveals issues, we can take care of them rather than sending you to find another contractor. Our team has over twenty years of experience with everything from repointing mortar joints and installing new caps to full chimney rebuilds and fireplace restoration. We also install wood, pellet, and gas stoves through our retail operation. Having one company handle both inspection and repairs means better continuity and accountability for the work.

How long does a typical chimney inspection take to complete?

Most chimney inspections take between one to two hours, depending on the size of your home, the type of chimney system, and what we find during the inspection. We don’t rush through inspections because thoroughness is what keeps you safe. A basic Level 1 inspection of a straightforward system might take an hour, while a more comprehensive Level 2 inspection that includes video scanning of the flue can take longer. We’ll give you a time estimate when we schedule your appointment, and we always explain what we’re doing as we work. The time invested in a proper inspection is minimal compared to dealing with fire damage or carbon monoxide problems later.
