North Providence Chimney Experts

Same Team, Two Decades of Experience

We’ve been serving North Providence homeowners since 2000. Certified Chimney Inspections was formally established in 2016, but our experienced team has been doing chimney work together for over twenty years.

Every one of our technicians is CSI certified through the Chimney Safety Institute of America. That means we know current safety standards, proper cleaning techniques, and how to spot problems that less experienced contractors miss.

You’re not getting a different crew every time or wondering who’s going to show up. You’re getting professionals who’ve seen every type of chimney problem Rhode Island weather can create.

Chimney Sweeping Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we protect your home. Drop cloths go down, furniture gets covered, and we set up containment so dust and debris stay out of your living space.

Next comes the inspection. We check the flue, damper, crown, cap, and chimney structure before we start cleaning. If there are problems, you know about them upfront – no surprises after we’re halfway done.

The cleaning itself uses professional-grade brushes and vacuums designed for chimney work. We remove creosote buildup, clear blockages, and clean from top to bottom. When we’re finished, we do a final inspection to make sure everything is working properly and your chimney is ready for safe use.

More Than Just Cleaning

Every chimney sweep we do includes a thorough safety inspection. You get a complete picture of your chimney’s condition, not just a quick cleaning.

We handle fireplace restoration, wood stove installations, pellet stove setups, and gas fireplace work. If your chimney needs repairs, liner installation, or cap replacement, our team takes care of it. No coordinating between different contractors.

North Providence homes deal with specific challenges – salt air corrosion near the coast, freeze-thaw cycles that crack masonry, and older construction that doesn’t always meet current safety standards. We know what to look for because we’ve been working in these neighborhoods for decades.

How much does chimney sweeping cost in North Providence?

Chimney sweeping costs vary based on your chimney’s condition, height, and accessibility. Most standard cleanings for single-family homes range from $150-300. We provide free estimates so you know the exact cost before any work begins. The price includes inspection, cleaning, and a report on your chimney’s condition. If repairs are needed, we’ll give you a separate estimate for that work. We don’t believe in surprise charges or finding “problems” after we start the job.

How often should I have my chimney swept?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections for all chimneys. If you use your fireplace regularly – more than a few times per year – annual cleaning is usually necessary. Light users might go two years between cleanings, but the inspection should still happen annually. Factors like the type of wood you burn, how often you use the fireplace, and your chimney’s condition affect the timeline. We’ll give you an honest recommendation based on what we find during the inspection.

What's the difference between cleaning and inspection?

Cleaning removes creosote, debris, and blockages from your chimney flue. Inspection checks the entire chimney system for safety issues, damage, or wear. We always inspect before cleaning because there’s no point cleaning a chimney that has structural problems. The inspection covers the flue liner, damper, chimney crown, cap, and visible portions of the chimney structure. You get both services together – we’re not just there to clean, we’re there to make sure your entire system is safe to use.

Will chimney cleaning make a mess in my house?

Professional chimney cleaning shouldn’t create a mess in your home. We use drop cloths, plastic sheeting, and industrial vacuums specifically designed for chimney work. The fireplace opening gets sealed during cleaning to prevent dust and debris from entering your room. Most of the work happens from the roof level, with containment systems that keep everything controlled. You might see some fine dust, but nothing like the soot-covered disaster that happens when inexperienced cleaners try to do the job without proper equipment.

Can you clean my chimney if I haven't used it in years?

Yes, but unused chimneys often have additional issues that need attention. Animals may have nested in the flue, debris could have accumulated, and components like the damper might be stuck or corroded. The chimney cap and crown may have deteriorated without regular maintenance. We’ll do a thorough inspection first to identify any problems, then clean and address issues as needed. Don’t assume an unused chimney is safe to use without professional inspection – sometimes neglect creates more problems than regular use.

Do you work on all types of chimneys and fireplaces?

We work on traditional masonry chimneys, prefab fireplaces, wood stoves, pellet stoves, and gas fireplaces. Each type has different cleaning and maintenance requirements, and our CSI certification covers all of them. We also handle chimney repairs, liner installations, and fireplace restorations. Our retail stove store means we can handle installations and upgrades too. If you’re not sure what type of system you have or what it needs, the inspection will identify everything and we’ll explain your options clearly.
