Annual sweeping and certified inspections are the foundation of chimney safety. We remove the soot and creosote that build up with every fire, and confirm your system is safe to use.
Creosote buildup is the leading cause of chimney fires in North America. Beyond fire risk, a partially blocked chimney pushes carbon monoxide and smoke back into your home instead of venting it safely out. Neither one announces itself before things go wrong.
Annual sweeping keeps deposits well below the danger zone and gives a certified pair of eyes a yearly check on the whole system. For homes with kids, seniors, or pets – who breathe faster and lower to the ground – it’s not a nice-to-have, it’s basic safety.

We treat your home like our own – careful, clean, and respectful, especially around kids, seniors, and pets.

The National Fire Protection Association recommends a professional chimney inspection and sweep at least once a year.
An inspection checks for structural damage and safety issues, while a cleaning (sweeping) removes dangerous soot and creosote buildup.
Creosote is a highly flammable byproduct of burning wood that coats your flue. If not cleaned, it can easily trigger a dangerous chimney fire.
A chimney cleaning removes soot and flammable creosote from the full flue, and a Level 1 inspection is a certified visual safety check of the readily accessible system with a written report — for homes across Greater Boston. Call (781) 782-8727.
