Rhode Island's cold, wet winters mean wood-burning fireplaces work hard, and creosote accumulates fast. Our comprehensive chimney sweep service removes all three stages of creosote, plus soot, ash, and any debris blocking your flue. We use commercial-grade brushes, HEPA-filtered vacuums, and video inspection before and after so you can see the difference yourself. A properly cleaned chimney drafts better, burns more efficiently, and dramatically lowers the risk of a chimney fire. We protect your home's interior with drop cloths and seal the fireplace opening before we start — you won't find a speck of ash on your Warwick living room floor when we're done. Every sweep includes a courtesy safety checklist.

A Level I visual inspection is appropriate for unchanged systems used regularly. A Level II inspection — required when you buy or sell a Warwick home — includes video scanning of the entire flue interior to reveal cracks, spalling, and liner deterioration invisible to the naked eye. A Level III inspection involves accessing concealed areas when serious hazards are suspected. Ed's & Sons performs all three levels, delivers a written report with photos, and explains every finding in plain English. We cross-reference our findings against NFPA 211 standards so you have documentation that satisfies insurance carriers, home inspectors, and the Warwick fire marshal.

Heat, combustion gases, and creosote contact the masonry directly when a liner fails, accelerating deterioration and creating dangerous leak paths. Ed's & Sons installs flexible stainless-steel liners, rigid liner systems, and poured cast-in-place liners — each sized precisely to your appliance's BTU output for proper draft. We also repair section failures in existing liners using code-approved materials. Every liner project is documented and installed to meet RI State Building Code and NFPA 211 clearance requirements. You receive a written warranty on both materials and labor, giving you lasting peace of mind through many Warwick winters.

A cracked or absent crown allows water to penetrate the masonry, freeze, expand, and fracture the chimney from within — damage that escalates quietly until it's a major rebuild. Animals, especially raccoons and chimney swifts, exploit open flues without a properly fitted cap. Ed's & Sons fabricates and installs stainless-steel and copper chimney caps custom-fitted to your flue dimensions, and we restore deteriorated crowns using elastomeric waterproofing compounds rated for exterior masonry. These repairs are among the highest-value investments a Warwick homeowner can make — a properly capped and crowned chimney can add decades of service life to the entire system.

It also allows outdoor air, animals, and moisture to enter your Warwick home unchecked. Ed's & Sons inspects every damper component: the blade, frame, seating surface, and handle mechanism. We repair warped or corroded throat dampers where possible, and replace them with energy-efficient top-mount dampers when the original is beyond service. Top-mount dampers seal the flue at the top of the chimney, eliminating the chimney's stack effect on cold days and reducing heating costs. We also service the firebox itself — repointing mortar joints, replacing firebrick, and addressing smoke-spillage issues caused by improper damper opening size.

Lint is highly combustible, and when it accumulates in long duct runs — especially the configurations common in Warwick's multi-story colonial and cape-style homes — dryer exhaust temperatures can ignite it in seconds. Ed's & Sons uses rotary brush systems and high-powered vacuums to clear the entire duct run from appliance to exterior termination. We also inspect the vent cap for bird nests, crushed sections, and improper materials like foil accordion duct. After cleaning, your dryer runs more efficiently, cycles shorten, and the most preventable fire risk in your laundry room is eliminated. Annual cleaning is recommended for most Warwick households.
