Chimney Inspection Process Smithfield RI

Here's Exactly 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 examine the interior components – the damper, smoke chamber, and firebox – looking for cracks, buildup, or structural issues.

Our technicians use specialized equipment to check the flue liner and measure clearances to combustible materials. We’re looking for anything that could create a fire hazard or allow dangerous gases to enter your home.

After the inspection, we sit down with you to explain what we found. You’ll get a clear report that shows the current condition of your system and our recommendations for any needed repairs or maintenance. We’ll answer your questions and help you understand what’s urgent versus what can be planned for later.

How often should I have my chimney inspected in Smithfield?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections, and that’s especially important here in Rhode Island. Our coastal climate means your chimney faces salt air, moisture, and freeze-thaw cycles that can cause faster deterioration than you’d see in other regions. If you use your fireplace regularly during our New England winters, annual inspections catch small problems before they become expensive repairs. Even if you rarely use your fireplace, animals, weather, and time can create safety hazards that only a professional inspection will reveal.
A basic inspection covers the readily accessible parts of your chimney system – the exterior, the damper area, and the firebox. This works fine if you’re not having any problems and use your fireplace normally. A comprehensive inspection goes deeper, often involving cameras to examine the entire flue liner and may include removing some components to check areas that aren’t normally visible. We recommend the comprehensive approach if you’re buying a home, if there’s been a chimney fire, or if you’re experiencing issues like smoke entering your room or strong odors.
We provide free estimates for all our services, including inspections. The cost depends on the type of inspection needed and the complexity of your system. A standard inspection for a typical single-flue chimney costs less than a comprehensive inspection that requires specialized equipment. We’re upfront about pricing because we want you to make informed decisions about your home’s safety. Many homeowners find that the cost of an inspection is minimal compared to the expensive repairs that undetected problems can cause.
Absolutely, and it’s actually more important than you might think. Unused chimneys can develop serious problems that aren’t obvious from the outside. Animals often nest in unused flues, dampers can rust shut or fall apart, and masonry can deteriorate without regular heat cycling to drive out moisture. We’ve found significant structural issues in chimneys that homeowners assumed were fine because they weren’t being used. If you’re thinking about using your fireplace again, an inspection is essential before you light that first fire.
We’ll explain exactly what we found and why it matters for your safety and your home’s protection. Not every issue requires immediate action – some problems can be monitored and addressed during routine maintenance. Others, like damaged flue liners or structural problems, need prompt attention. We’ll prioritize any safety concerns and give you realistic timelines for different types of repairs. You’ll get a written report with photos so you can see what we’re talking about, and we’ll answer all your questions about repair options and costs.
