Cranston’s older homes often have chimneys built before modern safety codes. A single sweep removes creosote that can ignite and spread flames into your attic or walls. We don’t just clean—we educate homeowners on spotting warning signs like excessive soot or a weak draft.
CO leaks from cracked flues or blocked chimneys can poison your family before you notice symptoms. Cranston’s tightly sealed homes trap CO indoors, making detection critical. We test for leaks and ensure your chimney vents properly to keep your air safe.
Rhode Island requires chimneys to meet NFPA 211 standards. Our inspections and repairs are documented to satisfy insurance claims and home inspections. Cranston homeowners avoid costly fines or denied claims by staying compliant.

At Cedar Flame Chimney Corp, we don’t just clean chimneys—we protect Cranston homes from silent, deadly risks. A soot-coated flue isn’t just unsightly; it’s a tinderbox waiting for a spark, and carbon monoxide—a colorless, odorless killer—can seep into your living room through cracks no homeowner can see. Our certified sweeps inspect every joint, liner, and damper with the precision of a fire marshal, because in Cranston’s older neighborhoods, where brickwork dates back decades, hidden flaws are common. We document each finding in clear, code-compliant reports so you know exactly where your home stands against the next winter storm.

Proudly serving Cranston and these nearby communities.
Schedule your next inspection within 12 months, but sooner if you use wood as your primary heat source. Cranston’s building department requires annual checks for solid-fuel appliances, and skipping a year can let creosote levels climb dangerously—especially after a harsh winter like the one we had in 2022.
Yes—cracks in the crown let rain and snowmelt seep into the masonry, freezing and expanding to split bricks from the inside out. Fox Point’s historic homes are particularly vulnerable, and water intrusion can rot floor joists and stain ceilings before you even notice the leak.
That lingering campfire odor comes from microscopic creosote particles clinging to the flue walls, especially in homes along the Pawtuxet River where humidity lingers. A professional sweep with rotary brushes and HEPA vacuums removes the residue, and installing a stainless-steel liner stops future odors by preventing condensation.
Never use the fireplace until a certified sweep inspects the flue for hidden cracks and warping. Cranston’s fire marshal reports that 60% of re-ignitions happen within 72 hours of the first blaze, often from heat-damaged liners that look intact from the ground.
A Level 1 inspection covers the accessible flue and components you use daily, while a Level 2 includes video scanning of the entire system—critical for Cranston’s mid-century homes where chimneys often run through interior walls and may hide unseen damage.
Salt air accelerates mortar erosion and metal corrosion, especially in chimneys near Narragansett Bay. We apply breathable siloxane sealers and recommend stainless-steel caps to block moisture, extending the life of Cranston’s older brickwork by decades.
Pine’s high resin content creates thick, sticky creosote that coats flues faster than hardwoods. Cranston’s fire codes allow pine only if you burn it at high temperatures with plenty of airflow, and even then, we recommend a mid-season sweep to prevent dangerous buildup.
Late summer or early fall—before the first cold snap hits Cranston’s older neighborhoods. Scheduling now ensures you beat the fall rush, and any repairs can be completed before the holidays when chimney sweeps are booked solid.
