Professional chimney inspection services that catch dangerous problems before they become disasters in your Swansea home.
Hear from Our Customers
When winter hits Swansea, you need to know your chimney won’t put your family at risk. Our thorough inspections catch the hidden dangers that could turn your cozy fireplace into a safety hazard.
Creosote buildup doesn’t announce itself until it’s too late. Carbon monoxide leaks don’t give warnings. Structural damage happens gradually, then all at once.
That’s why smart homeowners in Bristol County schedule annual inspections. You get detailed reports, honest assessments, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing a certified professional has examined every accessible part of your chimney system.
Above and Beyond Chimney has been serving Swansea and Bristol County for years, and we understand what Massachusetts winters do to chimney systems. Our technicians undergo rigorous training in chimney construction, codes, and maintenance best practices.
We’re not the cheapest option in town, and that’s intentional. When it comes to your family’s safety, you want technicians who know the difference between a minor issue and a major hazard. You want someone who won’t miss the subtle signs of trouble that less experienced companies overlook.
Every inspection we perform meets Massachusetts building codes and industry standards. We protect your home with multiple layers of drop cloths and use HEPA-filtered vacuums designed specifically for chimney work. No mess, no shortcuts, no surprises.
Our inspection process is thorough because half-measures don’t protect families. We start by examining all readily accessible portions of your chimney, both exterior and interior. This includes your flue liner, chimney cap, damper, and the overall structural integrity of the system.
For Level 2 inspections, we use video scanning equipment to see inside areas that aren’t visible during a standard visual inspection. This technology lets us spot problems like cracks in the flue liner, blockages, or deterioration that could compromise your chimney’s safety.
We document everything we find and provide you with a detailed report that explains any issues in plain language. If repairs are needed, we’ll prioritize them by safety importance and give you honest recommendations about what needs immediate attention versus what can wait.

Massachusetts has strict building codes for chimney safety, and for good reason. The state’s cold winters mean families rely heavily on their heating systems, and poorly maintained chimneys are a leading cause of house fires.
In Swansea’s climate, chimneys face unique challenges. Temperature fluctuations cause expansion and contraction that can crack masonry. Heavy snow loads stress chimney structures. Ice dams can force water into places it shouldn’t go.
Our inspections are designed specifically for these local conditions. We know what to look for in Bristol County homes, from historic properties with original masonry to newer construction with modern venting systems. Whether you have a wood-burning fireplace, gas insert, or pellet stove, we understand how these systems perform in Massachusetts weather and what can go wrong.
