We meet a nearby call ready for whatever the chimney actually needs. It is all one team, one number, and one honest assessment.

Chimney Sweep

A chimney sweep is the routine that keeps everything else from going wrong. Every fire you burn leaves a film of creosote and soot on the flue walls, and on Somerville's tall, cool, interior chimneys that film builds faster and harder than most homeowners expect. Somerville Chimney Sweep cleans the whole flue, firebox to cap, removing the creosote and soot that fuels chimney fires and the debris that blocks a draft, and we contain the dust so your living room does not pay for a clean chimney. We finish by checking the cap, the damper, and the smoke shelf, because a sweep is also the moment to catch the small problems early.

Chimney Inspection

From the firebox or the roofline a chimney keeps almost all of its real condition hidden, and that is exactly why a camera inspection earns its keep. It trades guesswork for footage. Somerville Chimney Sweep inspects chimneys across the city whether you are buying or selling a home, switching heating appliances, recovering from a draft or smoke problem, or simply want to know where your chimney stands before the heating season. You get a camera scan of the flue, a look at the crown, cap, flashing, and masonry, and a plain written report that grades what needs attention now against what can wait.

Chimney Repair

Most chimney trouble starts small and stays cheap if you catch it early. A hairline crack in the crown, a strip of flashing that has lifted, a few mortar joints that have washed out, a cracked tile near the top of the flue. Left alone through a Somerville winter, any of those lets water and weather work their way deeper until a minor fix becomes a major one. Somerville Chimney Sweep repairs chimneys by finding where the problem genuinely starts and correcting that exact fault, documenting both the defect and the finished work with photos, and never steering you toward a teardown the chimney does not need.

Chimney Cap Installation

A chimney cap is the small, inexpensive part that protects everything below it, and an open flue without one is an open invitation to trouble. Rain falls straight down it, animals nest in it, downdrafts blow smoke back into the house, and sparks can land on the roof. Somerville Chimney Sweep installs stainless and copper caps sized to your actual flue, fitted with spark-arrestor mesh, and anchored to hold against the wind that comes off the hills and across the close-packed Somerville roofs. It is one of the highest-value upgrades a chimney can get for the money, and on the tall, exposed flues common here it earns its keep fast.

Chimney Liner Replacement

The liner is the chimney's most important and least visible part. It is the smooth interior channel that carries combustion gases safely up and out while protecting the surrounding brick and the framing from the heat. On Somerville's older homes the original liner is usually clay tile laid when the house was built, and decades of heat, settling, and freeze-thaw have left a lot of those tiles cracked or gapped. Somerville Chimney Sweep installs stainless and cast-in-place liners sized to the appliance they serve, fitted to code, insulated where the chimney calls for it, and draft-tested before we pack up, so the chimney is safe and drawing properly.

Masonry & Tuckpointing

A chimney is only as sound as the masonry holding it together, and in Somerville that masonry has weathered a century of hard New England winters. Mortar joints wash out, brick faces spall and crumble, and crowns crack, and once the masonry starts to fail, water gets in and the freeze-thaw cycle accelerates the damage from there. Somerville Chimney Sweep handles the brick and mortar side of chimney work, from tuckpointing eroded joints to replacing spalled brick to rebuilding a failed crown, matching new materials to your existing chimney and waterproofing where it makes sense so the repair lasts.

What You Skip by Hiring Local

We Tidy Up Fully

We mask off the work area and protect the room before any brush goes up the flue. We haul away the debris and the creosote, not just the easy mess.

Built For The Long Haul

We back the work with a real workmanship warranty. A liner installed to spec is a flue whose safety actually holds.

The Documentation, Handled

No claim padding, no promise to waive your deductible, which is fraud. A real inspection catches the hazard before it becomes a fire or a gas leak.

From the First Look to the Final Walk-Through

Your Concern Comes First

A good inspection starts with knowing what prompted the call in the first place. Whether it is a smell, a smoky fire, or a sale, we start with your situation.

The Photo Report

You see the creosote glaze, the cracked crown, or the failed liner for yourself. You get the photos and a clear explanation before any recommendation.

We Start At The Flue

When you call, we set up an inspection rather than quoting blind. Nothing gets recommended until we have inspected the chimney ourselves.

The Number Before The Work

We put the whole scope and price in writing up front, no games. The number you approve is the number that does the work.
