Chimney Inspection Process

Here's Exactly What We Check

Our inspection starts outside with the chimney structure, cap, and flashing. These are common problem areas that cause leaks and let animals in. Then we move to the firebox, damper, and smoke chamber – the parts that handle the heat and direct the smoke.

Our real expertise shows in checking the flue liner. This is where dangerous cracks and deterioration hide. CSI certified inspectors know what to look for and how to evaluate whether repairs are urgent or can be planned for later.

You get a detailed report explaining what we found, what it means, and what your options are. No pressure, no scare tactics. Just the information you need to make smart decisions about your chimney system. If repairs are needed, you’ll get a free estimate that breaks down exactly what work is recommended and why.

Our inspection covers your entire chimney system from top to bottom. That includes the exterior structure, interior components, and all the connections that keep smoke moving safely out of your home.

West Greenwich homes often have older chimneys that need specialized attention. Many were built before current safety standards, which means they might have issues that aren’t obvious but could be serious. Our inspection identifies these concerns and prioritizes them based on safety and cost.

Beyond inspections, we handle repairs, installations, and restorations. We stock parts and materials, offer financing for larger projects, and can usually schedule follow-up work quickly. That means you’re not waiting weeks for repairs after discovering a problem, especially during heating season when chimney issues become urgent.

How often should I have my chimney inspected in West Greenwich?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections, and that’s especially important in West Greenwich where many homes have older chimney systems. Even if you don’t use your fireplace regularly, animals, weather, and age can create problems that aren’t visible from the ground. An annual inspection catches these issues before they become expensive repairs or safety hazards. If you use your fireplace frequently or have a wood-burning stove, annual inspections are essential for safe operation.
CSI certification means the inspector has completed specialized training through the Chimney Safety Institute of America and passed comprehensive exams on chimney construction, safety standards, and problem identification. A CSI certified inspector knows the difference between cosmetic issues and serious safety concerns. We can spot problems like deteriorating flue liners, improper installations, and structural issues that untrained inspectors often miss. This expertise is crucial because chimney problems can be dangerous – carbon monoxide leaks and chimney fires don’t give you second chances.
We provide free estimates for inspection services. The cost depends on the type of inspection needed and the complexity of your chimney system. A basic Level 1 inspection for a standard chimney costs less than a Level 2 inspection required when selling a home or after a chimney fire. The investment is minimal compared to the cost of major repairs or the risk of fire damage. Most homeowners find that a professional inspection actually saves money by identifying small problems before they become expensive emergencies.
You’ll receive a detailed report explaining what we found, why it matters, and what your options are. Not every issue requires immediate action – some problems can be monitored and addressed during routine maintenance. Others, like damaged flue liners or structural issues, need prompt attention for safety reasons. Our report prioritizes problems based on safety and cost, so you can make informed decisions about repairs. If work is needed, you’ll get a clear estimate with no pressure to decide immediately.
It’s not safe to use a fireplace or wood stove without knowing the condition of your chimney system. Even if everything looks fine from inside your home, there could be cracks in the flue liner, blockages, or structural problems that create serious risks. Carbon monoxide can leak into your home through damaged components, and creosote buildup increases fire risk. Before lighting any fires this season, have your chimney inspected by a CSI certified professional. It’s a small investment for the safety of your family and home.
Yes, we offer in-house financing for repair and installation projects. This makes it easier to address safety issues promptly rather than delaying necessary work due to cost concerns. Financing options vary based on the scope of work needed. We can discuss payment plans during the estimate process, so you can make decisions based on safety priorities rather than just immediate budget constraints. Many homeowners find that financing allows them to complete all necessary repairs at once, which is often more cost-effective than piecemeal fixes.
