Your chimney’s safety depends on what you can’t see—and that’s exactly what we inspect.

You shouldn’t have to wonder if your chimney is safe every time you want to enjoy a fire. A professional inspection gives you the confidence to use your fireplace without worrying about carbon monoxide, chimney fires, or smoke backing up into your home.
When your chimney passes inspection, you can relax knowing your family is protected. You’ll catch small problems before they become expensive repairs, and you’ll have the documentation you need for insurance or real estate transactions.
Most importantly, you’ll have peace of mind that comes from knowing a trained professional has thoroughly evaluated your entire chimney system—from the firebox to the chimney cap.
Above and Beyond Chimney has been serving homeowners in Mansfield Center and throughout Bristol County for over 25 years. We understand the unique challenges that New England weather presents to chimney systems—from freeze-thaw cycles that crack mortar to the heavy use that comes with our cold winters.
Our team knows what to look for in the historic homes common throughout Massachusetts, and we’re familiar with both traditional masonry chimneys and modern prefabricated systems. We’ve earned our BBB A+ rating by providing thorough, honest inspections that help homeowners make informed decisions about their chimney safety.
When you choose us, you’re working with a family-owned business that treats your home with the same care we’d give our own.
We start by examining your chimney’s exterior, checking the crown, cap, flashing, and masonry for damage or deterioration. Then we move inside to inspect the firebox, damper, and smoke chamber for proper construction and any signs of damage.
For the flue itself, we use specialized tools and cameras when needed to get a clear view of the liner condition. We’re looking for cracks, blockages, creosote buildup, or any structural issues that could affect safety or performance.
Throughout the process, we document our findings with photos and detailed notes. At the end, you’ll receive a comprehensive report that clearly explains what we found and any recommendations for maintenance or repairs. No surprises, no pressure—just the information you need to make smart decisions about your chimney.

We provide Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 inspections depending on your specific needs. Level 1 inspections are perfect for annual maintenance when everything’s been working normally. Level 2 inspections include video scanning and are required for real estate transactions or when you’ve had system changes.
Massachusetts regulations require annual chimney inspections, and many insurance companies and real estate transactions demand professional documentation. We’re familiar with all local requirements and provide the detailed reports you need for compliance.
Our inspections cover everything from the chimney cap down to the hearth, including the flue liner, damper, smoke chamber, and all masonry components. We pay special attention to the mortar joints and flashing—common problem areas in our New England climate where water damage can lead to expensive repairs if caught too late.
