Above and Beyond Chimney has been serving Freetown and Bristol County for years, understanding exactly how coastal moisture affects chimney brickwork and the specific challenges homeowners face in this region. We know the types of wood commonly burned here and how they create particular creosote buildup patterns.
Our certified technicians are members of the National Chimney Sweep Guild and trained by the Chimney Safety Institute of America. We follow strict NFPA 211 standards for every inspection, ensuring you receive the most thorough assessment possible.
As a family-owned business, we treat every home like our own. You’ll get straight answers, honest recommendations, and the kind of service that builds lasting relationships with neighbors throughout Bristol County.
We start by protecting your home with multiple layers of drop cloths around your fireplace area. Our HEPA-filtered equipment ensures no dust or debris escapes during the process, keeping your living space clean.
Next, we conduct a comprehensive visual inspection of your entire chimney system. This includes examining the firebox, smoke chamber, flue, chimney crown, flashing, cap, and exterior masonry. We check for damage, leaks, missing components, and any safety concerns.
For Level 2 inspections, we use specialized video equipment to get a detailed look inside your flue, capturing footage that shows the true condition of your chimney liner and interior structure. After completing our assessment, we’ll walk you through our findings, show you photos of any issues, and provide clear recommendations for maintaining your chimney’s safety and performance.
