Mount Pleasant Chimney Inspection Company

We Know Rhode Island Chimneys

Above and Beyond Chimney has been serving Providence County homeowners for years. We understand what Rhode Island’s coastal weather does to chimneys—the salt air, the moisture, the freeze-thaw cycles that crack mortar and shift bricks.

Our technicians train extensively in chimney construction and safety codes. Not because we have to, but because your family’s safety depends on getting it right the first time.

When we work in your home, we treat it like our own. Multiple layers of drop cloths, HEPA-filtered equipment, and the kind of care that keeps your house clean while we make your chimney safe.

Chimney Inspection Process Mount Pleasant

How We Check Every Critical Detail

First, we examine everything you can see and plenty you can’t. Firebox, damper, flue, exterior structure. We’re looking for the obvious problems and the subtle signs that something’s developing.

Then we get technical. Professional-grade equipment, including video cameras for Level 2 inspections, shows us what’s happening inside your flue. The cracks, blockages, and deterioration that hide from basic visual checks.

Finally, you get answers. A detailed report in plain English explaining what we found, what it means for your safety, and what you should do about it. No guessing, no wondering—just clear direction.

Chimney Inspection Services Providence County

Complete Coverage for Mount Pleasant Homes

We follow industry-standard inspection protocols with three service levels. Level 1 handles routine annual maintenance with comprehensive visual inspection. Level 2 adds video scanning—essential for home sales, after storm damage, or fuel type changes.

Mount Pleasant’s location in Providence County creates specific chimney challenges. Coastal moisture accelerates mortar deterioration. Temperature swings cause expansion and contraction that creates cracks. We know what to look for because we see it regularly.

From foundation to roofline, we inspect structural integrity, ventilation systems, and safety components. Our job is finding small problems while they’re still small problems.

How often should I schedule chimney inspection in Mount Pleasant RI?

Annual inspections are the standard recommendation, and most homeowner insurance policies require them. If you burn fires regularly—30 times or more per year—annual inspection becomes critical for safety. Rhode Island’s coastal climate is tough on chimneys. Salt air corrodes metal components and accelerates mortar deterioration. Freeze-thaw cycles create cracks that grow larger each winter. These aren’t problems that fix themselves. Even unused fireplaces need attention. Animals build nests, debris accumulates, and weather damage happens whether you burn fires or not. Annual inspection catches these issues while they’re manageable.
Level 1 inspection covers comprehensive visual examination of all accessible chimney components. We check firebox, damper, flue, and exterior structure for damage or safety concerns. Perfect for routine annual maintenance. Level 2 inspection includes everything in Level 1 plus video scanning of internal flue areas. We recommend this for home purchases, after weather damage, or when changing fuel types. It reveals problems invisible during visual inspection. Video scanning shows flue liner cracks, hidden blockages, and structural issues that could cause safety problems. It’s more thorough and takes longer, but sometimes you need that level of detail to know what you’re dealing with.
Providence County chimney inspections typically range from $108 to $762, depending on inspection level and chimney complexity. Basic Level 1 inspections cost less than comprehensive Level 2 inspections with video scanning. Compare that to emergency repair costs. Chimney fires, carbon monoxide issues, or major structural damage run into thousands of dollars—plus the safety risks to your family. Prevention costs less than emergency fixes. We provide upfront pricing with no surprise charges. If we find problems requiring attention, you’ll get clear repair estimates so you can make informed decisions about your chimney’s safety.
Absolutely. Gas burns cleaner than wood, but your chimney still vents combustion gases and heat that can create problems. Gas systems also have unique components that need professional evaluation. Carbon monoxide remains a serious concern with gas fireplaces, especially when blockages or ventilation problems develop. Animals, debris, or deteriorating chimney components create dangerous situations regardless of fuel type. Gas fireplace inspections focus on venting adequacy, gas line connections, and proper combustion. Different from wood-burning inspections, but equally important for protecting your family from carbon monoxide poisoning.
We explain exactly what we found and what it means for your family’s safety. No technical jargon—just straight talk about the situation and what needs to happen next. Safety issues get prioritized by risk level. Immediate dangers get addressed first, while minor maintenance items can wait for convenient scheduling. We’ll never pressure you into unnecessary work or create false urgency. You receive a detailed written report with photographs documenting any problems. This helps you make informed repair decisions and provides documentation for insurance purposes. Our job is informing you, not selling you services.
If we find no safety issues, you can use your fireplace right away. When we discover problems that affect safety—damaged flue liners, blocked vents, structural issues—we’ll advise avoiding fireplace use until repairs are completed. Your family’s safety comes first, always. For minor issues that don’t pose immediate danger, we’ll explain what you can do safely while planning repairs. We want you to enjoy your fireplace, but never at your family’s expense. We’ll be clear about what’s safe and what isn’t. No gray areas, no “probably fine” recommendations. Just honest assessment of whether your fireplace is safe to operate.
