Cumberland is known for its blend of colonial homes, cozy neighborhoods, and chilly winters. Many of these homes rely on fireplaces, wood stoves, or gas inserts for warmth, especially during the long heating season. That’s why Local Chimney Services is proud to be the go-to provider for chimney inspections that protect families, preserve property value, and promote peace of mind.
Chimneys may look solid on the outside, but internal issues can go unnoticed for years—until they become dangerous or expensive. Here’s why annual chimney inspections are a must for Cumberland homeowners:
We check for creosote buildup, blockages, and flammable residue that could ignite. Our inspections help reduce your risk of a chimney fire dramatically.
A damaged or clogged flue can lead to poor draft, smoke backups, or even carbon monoxide leaks. We make sure your chimney vents properly and safely.
Cumberland’s wet, snowy winters can wreak havoc on brickwork and flashing. Our inspection identifies leaks, cracks, and moisture intrusion before they worsen.
Small cracks in the liner or masonry can compromise the integrity of your entire system. Early detection means faster, more affordable repairs.
If you’re buying, selling, or renting out a property, a chimney inspection ensures you’re up to code and ready for any home inspection or insurance audit.
We don’t do quick visual checks—we offer in-depth chimney inspections designed to catch issues early and provide actionable solutions. Here’s what our Cumberland chimney inspection includes:
We use professional-grade cameras and tools to inspect the inside of your flue. This helps us identify creosote buildup, cracks, obstructions (like bird nests or debris), and signs of previous chimney fires.
We examine your chimney’s exterior from top to bottom, checking for cracked bricks, deteriorated mortar joints, staining, and any signs of movement or separation from the house.
We inspect the crown (top cement surface) for cracks and weather damage and make sure your chimney cap is properly fitted to keep out rain, debris, and animals.
We carefully check the flashing—the metal seal where your chimney meets the roof—for rust, gaps, and improper sealing that could allow water into your attic or walls.
We verify the safe connection of your fireplace, stove, or gas insert to the chimney flue. This includes checking for leaks, proper drafting, and the integrity of connecting components.

According to the National Fire Protection Association and local Rhode Island fire codes, you should have your chimney inspected at least once a year—especially before winter use. In a town like Cumberland, where chimneys work overtime during cold months, an annual inspection is key for safety and efficiency.
A typical chimney inspection in Cumberland includes a visual examination of the flue, firebox, masonry, chimney cap, and flashing. We check for cracks, creosote buildup, blockages, moisture damage, and structural wear. If needed, we can provide a Level 2 inspection, which includes internal video scanning for more detailed diagnosis.
If it’s been over a year since your last check, or you’re seeing signs like smoke backdraft, strange odors, or white staining on bricks, you need an inspection first. We’ll let you know if a cleaning is necessary based on what we find. Inspections often uncover minor issues before they become expensive repairs.
Yes. Most real estate transactions in Rhode Island now require a Level 2 chimney inspection for any property with a wood-burning or gas fireplace. This ensures the system is safe, code-compliant, and not hiding any costly damage. It’s a small investment that can save buyers thousands and give sellers peace of mind.
A standard chimney inspection takes 30–60 minutes. It’s non-invasive, clean, and completely safe. If we need to do a more detailed inspection (like with a camera), it may take a little longer—but we always clean up after ourselves and explain every finding clearly.
