Hear from Our Customers
Your chimney works like it should. No more worrying about creosote buildup or wondering if that last cleaning was done right. No more smoke backing up into your living room or strange smells when you light a fire.
You get a chimney that’s actually clean, not just surface-level swept. Our CSI-certified technicians know what to look for and how to fix it. We remove the dangerous buildup that causes chimney fires and check for structural issues that could cost you thousands later.
After we’re done, you can use your fireplace with confidence. You’ll know exactly what condition your chimney is in, what needs attention, and when to schedule your next cleaning. No surprises, no guesswork, just straight answers from people who’ve been doing this for over two decades.
We’ve been cleaning and repairing chimneys in Rhode Island since 2000. Same core team, same commitment to doing the job right the first time. Our technicians are CSI certified through the Chimney Safety Institute of America, which means we actually know what we’re looking at when we inspect your chimney.
We’re not the guys who show up, sweep for twenty minutes, and leave. We’re the company that homeowners call when they want to know their chimney is actually safe. We take the time to explain what we find, show you what needs attention, and give you honest recommendations about what can wait and what can’t.
Certified Chimney Inspections was formally established in 2016, but we’ve been serving Charlestown and surrounding areas with the same professional approach for over twenty years. We’re here because we know chimneys, and we know what Rhode Island homeowners need.
We start with a thorough inspection of your entire chimney system, not just the flue. We’re looking for structural damage, creosote buildup, blockages, and any safety issues that need immediate attention. This isn’t a quick glance – we actually examine what’s going on.
Next comes the cleaning itself. We use professional-grade equipment to remove creosote, soot, and debris from your chimney liner and smoke chamber. We protect your home with drop cloths and use proper containment so you don’t end up with soot all over your furniture. The mess stays contained, and your chimney gets properly cleaned.
After cleaning, we do a final inspection to make sure everything looks right and document what we found. You get a clear explanation of your chimney’s condition, photos of any issues we discovered, and honest recommendations about what needs to be addressed. We’ll also let you know when you should schedule your next cleaning based on how you use your fireplace.
Ready to get started?
You get a complete chimney system inspection, not just a basic sweep. We check your chimney cap, crown, flashing, and liner condition. We look for animal nests, structural damage, and water intrusion issues that most companies miss. This comprehensive approach catches problems before they become expensive repairs.
The cleaning itself covers your entire flue system, smoke chamber, and damper area. We remove all creosote deposits, not just the easy-to-reach stuff. Rhode Island’s coastal climate means chimneys here face unique challenges from salt air and moisture, so we pay special attention to corrosion and deterioration patterns common in this area.
After service, you receive documentation of what we found and recommendations prioritized by safety and cost. We’ll tell you what needs immediate attention and what can be planned for later. No pressure, no scare tactics – just professional assessment from technicians who’ve seen it all in over twenty years of chimney work.
