You’re not wondering if that smell means trouble or if those cracks will cause problems this winter. Your fireplace works efficiently without the constant worry about carbon monoxide, chimney fires, or expensive emergency repairs.
Our inspection catches creosote buildup before it becomes a fire hazard. Water damage gets spotted before it spreads to your ceiling or walls. Structural issues get identified while they’re still manageable repairs, not full rebuilds.
You use your fireplace confidently, knowing a certified professional confirmed everything’s working as it should. Your heating bills stay reasonable because your chimney draws properly and your system runs efficiently.
Above and Beyond Chimney has been serving Pawtucket and Providence County families with reliable chimney services. We understand how Rhode Island’s freeze-thaw cycles and harsh winters affect chimney systems differently than other regions.
We know the specific challenges Pawtucket homeowners face – from the moisture issues common in older neighborhoods to the particular way New England weather breaks down masonry over time. This isn’t generic service; it’s local knowledge applied to your specific situation.
Every inspection we perform follows NFPA standards and focuses on catching problems while they’re still small, manageable issues rather than major repairs.
Our inspection starts with examining your chimney from top to bottom, inside and out. We look at the chimney cap, crown, and flashing for damage or wear. Then we check the flue for creosote buildup, blockages, or structural issues.
You get a detailed assessment of what’s working properly and what needs attention. If problems are found, you receive clear explanations of what each issue means for your safety and heating efficiency, plus realistic repair timelines and costs.
Our inspection typically takes 20 to 30 minutes for a Level 1 inspection, or up to 40 minutes for a Level 2 inspection that includes video scanning. You receive documentation of all findings, so you have a record for insurance purposes and future reference.

Your chimney inspection in Pawtucket covers all accessible components of your chimney system. This includes checking for proper ventilation, examining the condition of your chimney liner, and assessing the structural integrity of masonry work.
In Pawtucket’s climate, our inspections pay special attention to freeze-thaw damage that’s common in Rhode Island winters. We identify water intrusion points, evaluate mortar joint condition, and check for the kind of gradual deterioration that happens when moisture gets into small cracks and expands during freezing weather.
Level 1 inspections cover basic safety and functionality checks. Level 2 inspections include video scanning to examine internal surfaces that aren’t visible during standard inspection. The inspection level we recommend depends on your specific situation, usage patterns, and any recent changes to your heating system.
