You light your fireplace expecting warmth and comfort, not worry about hidden dangers lurking in your chimney. A professional chimney inspection gives you exactly that peace of mind you deserve.
When your chimney passes our thorough evaluation, you can enjoy those cozy fires knowing your family is protected from fire hazards, carbon monoxide risks, and costly surprise repairs. You’ll also have the documentation you need for insurance claims, real estate transactions, or simply the confidence that comes from knowing your home meets Massachusetts safety standards.
No more wondering if that strange smell means trouble, or if last winter’s heavy use created problems you can’t see. You get clear answers, honest recommendations, and the assurance that your chimney system is ready for whatever New England weather brings your way.
We at Above and Beyond Chimney have been protecting Bristol County families for years with professional chimney inspections that actually matter. Our CSIA certified technicians understand exactly what coastal New England weather does to chimney systems in Seekonk and surrounding areas.
We’ve seen how the moisture from being near the coast affects brickwork differently than inland areas. We know which types of wood Seekonk residents typically burn and how that creates specific creosote patterns in local chimneys. This local knowledge means we catch problems other inspectors might miss.
When we inspect your chimney, we’re not just checking boxes on a form. We’re using our deep understanding of Massachusetts building codes, Bristol County climate conditions, and decades of hands-on experience to give you a chimney inspection that’s actually useful and thorough.
We start by protecting your home with multiple layers of drop cloths and setting up our professional-grade equipment. No dust, no mess, no surprises about cleanup afterward – we treat your home like our own.
Our certified technician examines every accessible part of your chimney system – from the firebox where you build your fires, up through the flue, and all the way to the crown and cap on your roof. For Level 2 chimney inspections, we use specialized video camera equipment to see inside your flue where problems often hide from visual inspection.
We check for creosote buildup, structural damage, proper ventilation, and compliance with Massachusetts safety codes. You get a clear explanation of what we find, photos when needed, and straightforward recommendations. No technical jargon, no pressure for unnecessary work – just honest assessment from professionals who know chimneys inside and out.

Massachusetts follows the National Fire Protection Association’s three-level chimney inspection system, and we determine which level fits your specific needs and situation.
Level 1 inspections work for annual maintenance when you haven’t had problems and nothing has changed with your fireplace system. Level 2 inspections are required for real estate transactions, after weather damage, or when you’re changing how you use your fireplace. Level 3 inspections involve more extensive evaluation when serious problems are suspected.
Here in Bristol County, we often recommend Level 2 inspections for homes near the coast due to moisture concerns, and for any property that’s been vacant or where the fireplace hasn’t been used regularly. The inspection level isn’t about upselling – it’s about matching the thoroughness of our evaluation to the actual risk factors your specific chimney faces in Seekonk’s climate.
