Your chimney works safely when you know exactly what’s happening inside those walls. Our certified inspectors don’t just look around—we dig into the details that matter for your family’s safety.
You get a complete assessment of your chimney’s condition, from the crown down to the firebox. We check for creosote buildup that could spark a fire, examine your flue liner for cracks or damage, and inspect the structural integrity of your masonry.
When we’re done, you’ll know exactly where your chimney stands and what needs attention. No surprises, no guesswork—just clear information that helps you make smart decisions about your home’s heating system.
Above and Beyond Chimney brings years of experience to Providence County, understanding exactly how New England’s harsh winters affect your chimney system. We’ve seen what happens when coastal moisture meets brick and mortar, and we know the specific challenges Scituate homeowners face.
Our CSIA certified technicians are members of the National Chimney Sweep Guild, which means we stay current on the latest safety standards and inspection techniques. We’re not just checking boxes—we’re protecting your investment and your family’s safety.
Scituate’s freeze-thaw cycles can be brutal on chimney materials, which is why we focus on catching small issues before they turn into major headaches. When you work with us, you’re getting inspectors who understand your local climate and what it means for your chimney’s long-term health.
We start by protecting your home with drop cloths and setting up our HEPA-filtered equipment to keep everything clean. Our two-person team works systematically through every accessible part of your chimney system.
First, we examine the exterior—checking the chimney crown, cap, flashing, and masonry for signs of weather damage or wear. Then we move inside to inspect the firebox, damper, smoke chamber, and as much of the flue as we can see. For Level 2 inspections, we use specialized cameras to get a clear view of the entire flue interior.
We document everything we find with photos and detailed notes. Before we leave, we’ll walk you through our findings, explain what everything means in plain language, and give you clear recommendations for any needed repairs or maintenance. You’ll get a written report that you can reference later or share with insurance companies if needed.

Your chimney inspection covers every critical component that affects safety and performance. We examine the chimney structure, flue liner, smoke chamber, firebox, damper, chimney cap, and crown—basically everything that needs to work together for safe operation.
In Scituate’s climate, we pay special attention to water damage and freeze-thaw issues that are common in Providence County. We look for spalling bricks, deteriorating mortar joints, and signs of water intrusion that could compromise your chimney’s structural integrity.
Our inspection includes checking for proper ventilation, identifying any blockages from debris or animal nests, and measuring creosote buildup levels. We also verify that your chimney cap and crown are doing their job keeping out rain and snow—crucial protection for homes dealing with New England weather patterns. You’ll get documentation that meets insurance requirements and provides the detailed information you need to maintain your chimney properly.
