When we’re done, you’ll have a roadmap for keeping your chimney working safely for years to come. Plus, you’ll sleep better knowing a certified professional has given your system a clean bill of health.
Above and Beyond Chimney has been serving Norfolk and Plymouth Counties for over 25 years. We understand how coastal moisture affects chimney brickwork in this area and know the specific creosote patterns that develop from the types of wood commonly burned in Fairhaven.
Our CSIA-certified technicians follow National Fire Protection Association standards, inspecting 23 specific components during every evaluation. We’re not just checking boxes—we’re looking for the real problems that could affect your family’s safety.

We start by protecting your home with drop cloths and setting up our HEPA-filtered equipment. Then we examine every accessible part of your chimney system, from the firebox to the crown.
Our specialized cameras go where you can’t see—inside the flue itself. We’re looking for cracks in the liner, obstructions, creosote buildup, and any structural issues that could compromise safety or efficiency.
Outside, we check the chimney cap, crown, flashing, and masonry. We document everything with photographs and notes. The whole process takes 20-40 minutes depending on your system’s complexity.
You get a detailed report explaining our findings, with clear photos showing any problems we discovered. If repairs are needed, we’ll explain exactly what’s required and why, so you can make informed decisions about your chimney’s care.

Every chimney inspection includes a thorough examination of your entire system. We check the flue liner for cracks or deterioration, examine the damper operation, and look for any obstructions that could affect proper ventilation.
In Fairhaven’s coastal climate, we pay special attention to moisture-related issues. Salt air can accelerate deterioration of metal components, while freeze-thaw cycles can crack masonry. We know what to look for and how these local conditions affect different chimney materials.
Our inspection covers the chimney cap, crown, flashing, and all visible masonry. We test the damper, check clearances around the firebox, and examine the hearth for any safety concerns. You’ll receive a comprehensive report with photographs documenting our findings.
For homes built before 1953—which represents many properties in Fairhaven—we’re especially thorough in checking for outdated construction methods or materials that may no longer meet current safety standards.
