Chimney Inspection Process

Here's Exactly What We Check

We start with a complete visual inspection of your chimney structure, both inside and out. Our certified technicians examine the chimney crown, cap, flashing, and exterior masonry for cracks, deterioration, or damage that could let water in or let dangerous gases escape into your home.

Inside, we check the flue liner for cracks or gaps, measure creosote buildup, and inspect the damper operation. We’re looking for anything that affects your chimney’s ability to safely vent smoke and gases. If you have a fireplace, we examine the firebox, throat, and smoke chamber.

You get a clear report of what we found, what needs immediate attention, and what you can plan for down the road. No technical jargon, no manufactured urgency—just straightforward information about your chimney’s condition so you can make informed decisions about your home’s safety.

North Kingstown’s coastal environment is tough on chimneys. Salt air accelerates deterioration of metal components, and the freeze-thaw cycles can crack masonry. We understand these local challenges because we’ve been dealing with them for over two decades. Whether you have a historic home with an original chimney or a newer construction, we know what to look for and how to address problems before they become expensive disasters.

We also offer in-house financing and always provide free estimates, so you can plan your chimney maintenance without surprises.

How often should I have my chimney inspected?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections, and that’s what we recommend too. Even if you don’t use your fireplace regularly, your chimney is still exposed to weather, animals, and general wear that can create safety issues. If you burn wood frequently, you definitely need annual inspections because creosote buildup and potential damage happen faster. An annual inspection catches small problems before they become expensive repairs and ensures your chimney is safe to use when you want to enjoy your fireplace.
A chimney inspection is a thorough examination of your entire chimney system to identify safety issues, damage, or needed repairs. We’re looking at the structure, liner, cap, flashing, and all components to make sure everything is working safely. Cleaning removes creosote, debris, and blockages from the flue. You need an inspection to know if your chimney is safe to use, and you need cleaning to remove the byproducts of burning wood. Often, we’ll do both during the same visit if your chimney needs cleaning, but inspection always comes first to identify any safety concerns.
We provide free estimates for all our services, including inspections, because we want you to know exactly what you’re paying before we start work. The cost depends on the type of inspection needed and your chimney’s condition, but we’re always upfront about pricing. We also offer in-house financing if you need repairs or services beyond the basic inspection. The investment in a proper inspection is minimal compared to the cost of dealing with chimney fires, carbon monoxide issues, or water damage that could have been prevented.
We don’t recommend using any fireplace or chimney that hasn’t been inspected within the past year. Chimneys can develop dangerous problems that aren’t visible from the outside—cracked liners, blocked flues, damaged dampers, or excessive creosote buildup. These issues can lead to house fires, carbon monoxide poisoning, or smoke entering your home. If you’re not sure when your chimney was last inspected, it’s worth having it checked before you light your first fire. The peace of mind is worth it, and you’ll know your family is safe.
Living near the coast creates specific challenges for chimneys. Salt air accelerates corrosion of metal components like caps, dampers, and flashing. We see a lot of premature deterioration of these parts compared to inland areas. Water penetration is another big issue—between coastal storms and freeze-thaw cycles, water finds its way into masonry and causes expensive damage over time. Creosote buildup is common in chimneys that aren’t cleaned regularly, and animal intrusion happens when caps are damaged or missing. These are all preventable problems when caught early during regular inspections.
We handle the complete range of chimney and fireplace services, from inspections to repairs to full restorations. If we find issues during your inspection, we can take care of them without you having to find another contractor. We do cleaning, liner installation, cap and crown repair, masonry work, and complete fireplace installations. We even have a retail stove store for parts and upgrades. Having one company handle everything from diagnosis to repair means better coordination, consistent quality, and no finger-pointing between different contractors if something goes wrong.
