"Emberlane restored my 1850s brick chimney in Weekapaug with such care—I couldn’t believe how pristine it looked afterward. The crew even noticed a small crack I’d missed and fixed it on the spot. Worth every penny."
"After a Nor’easter damaged my chimney cap, Emberlane had a new one installed within 24 hours. Their emergency service saved me from a major leak. Professional, fast, and no mess—exactly what I needed."
"We’ve used three other chimney sweeps in South County, but none matched Emberlane’s attention to detail. They even cleaned up the soot stains on our hearth that others left behind. Five stars all the way."
"The Level 2 inspection caught a hidden flue obstruction that could’ve caused a chimney fire. Emberlane’s camera work and report gave me the confidence to address it immediately. Highly recommend for Charlestown homeowners."
"My wife and I were blown away by how thorough and respectful the team was. They arrived early, worked efficiently, and left our home spotless. It’s rare to find this level of service in Rhode Island."
"I called for a routine sweep and ended up booking a full restoration. Emberlane’s tuckpointing work on my historic chimney is indistinguishable from the original brick. Truly artisanal craftsmanship."

Starting from the roof, we inspect the flue with a camera before brushing. Using stainless-steel rods and HEPA vacuums, we remove all creosote and soot, then perform a final inspection to confirm zero residue remains. We document the process with before-and-after photos for your records.
After cleaning, we hand-sweep your hearth, vacuum all surfaces, and dispose of debris in sealed bags. We’ll even polish your fireplace tools and glass doors if you’d like. Our goal? A spotless finish that makes you wonder if we were ever there.
We provide a personalized maintenance guide tailored to your chimney’s condition and Charlestown’s climate. This includes seasonal checklists, signs to watch for, and local resources for inspections or repairs. We’re your partner in chimney health for years to come.

That lingering campfire scent is usually trapped creosote or mold thriving in the damp coastal air. Our HEPA vacuum and deodorizing sealant remove the source, then we apply a zinc-based treatment to neutralize odors for good—no masking sprays, just permanent freshness.
White stains are almost always efflorescence, a harmless salt deposit from masonry moisture. But if it’s fuzzy or black, it’s mold from coastal humidity. We test it on-site and treat the cause, not just the symptom, with a breathable lime wash that lets your bricks breathe.
Absolutely—once we’ve cleared debris and confirmed a clean flue, your fireplace is safe to use immediately. We even provide a same-day burn permit sticker so you can light a fire that evening with peace of mind.
Salt air and coastal storms force moisture through even tiny cracks in your crown or flashing. We seal with marine-grade silicone and rebuild damaged crowns using Rhode Island–sourced granite aggregate for durability that withstands Nor’easters.
No—whistling usually means a blocked flue or improper damper seal. We inspect with a chimney camera and adjust the damper or clear obstructions so your system drafts correctly, even during winter’s strongest winds off Block Island Sound.
Pine creates sticky creosote faster than hardwoods, so we recommend sweeping twice yearly for pine users. Our seasonal reminder program alerts you before peak burn season, ensuring your chimney stays safe and efficient.
A rusted cap often signals deeper corrosion in the flue liner. We inspect the liner first; if it’s compromised, we reline it with a stainless-steel system rated for coastal salt exposure, then install a marine-grade aluminum cap with a lifetime warranty.
That streak is creosote bleeding from a crack in the flue tile, often caused by thermal shock from coastal temperature swings. We patch cracks with high-temperature mortar and install a stainless-steel liner to prevent future leaks and fire hazards.
