Professional chimney sweeping that keeps your family safe and your fireplace working perfectly.
Hear from Our Customers
You get a chimney that works the way it should. No more worrying about creosote buildup that could catch fire. No more smoke backing up into your living room because something’s blocking the flue.
A properly swept chimney draws air correctly, burns efficiently, and gives you peace of mind every time you light a fire. You’re not just getting rid of soot and debris – you’re eliminating fire hazards and ensuring your fireplace operates safely.
Most homeowners don’t realize that regular chimney sweeping actually saves money. Clean chimneys burn more efficiently, which means you use less wood and get more heat. Plus, catching small problems early prevents expensive repairs down the road.
Certified Chimney Inspections has been serving Smithfield and surrounding Rhode Island communities for over two decades. Our same core team has been working together since 2000, bringing consistent expertise to every job.
All our technicians are CSI (Chimney Safety Institute of America) certified, which means we’ve completed rigorous training in chimney safety, inspection, and cleaning techniques. This isn’t just a piece of paper – it’s proof that we know how to spot problems other sweeps might miss.
Our company was formally established in 2016, but our experience goes back much further. We’ve built our reputation on quality workmanship and honest service, not flashy marketing or rock-bottom prices.
First, we’ll inspect your chimney from top to bottom to identify any issues before cleaning begins. This isn’t just looking for obvious problems – we’re checking for structural damage, blockages, and creosote buildup levels.
Next comes the actual sweeping using professional-grade brushes and equipment. We work from the top down, removing all soot, creosote, and debris while containing the mess with drop cloths and specialized vacuum systems.
Finally, you get a clear explanation of what we found and what it means for your chimney’s safety and performance. If repairs are needed, we’ll explain exactly what’s required and why – no pressure, just facts you can use to make informed decisions about your home.

Rhode Island’s coastal climate creates unique challenges for chimneys – salt air, moisture, and freeze-thaw cycles that can damage masonry and accelerate deterioration. Having local experience matters when it comes to understanding these specific conditions and how they affect your chimney’s maintenance needs.
