Chimney Care We Handle Across the Cambridge Area

A chimney problem near Cambridge rarely fits one tidy category, and that is fine. It is all one team, one number, and one honest assessment.

Chimney Sweep

A sweep is the single most valuable thing you can do for any fireplace or stove that earns its keep through a Cambridge winter, because the creosote that every fire deposits on the inside of the flue is combustible, and a thick enough coating of it is what turns a normal evening fire into a chimney fire. Cambridge Chimney Sweep cleans flues across the city the careful way, sealing and protecting the room first, then brushing and rodding the full liner from the firebox clear up to the cap, clearing the smoke shelf and freeing the damper, and finishing with a frank word on whatever the freshly cleaned flue revealed. We sweep to keep your home safe, not to manufacture a reason to sell you a bigger job.

Chimney Inspection

From down at the hearth a chimney hides nearly everything that matters about its real condition, which is exactly why a proper inspection is worth the money. It swaps a guess for hard evidence. Cambridge Chimney Sweep inspects chimneys across the city whether you are buying or selling a home, adding or swapping an appliance, recovering from a chimney fire, or simply want the assurance that the flue is safe to light this winter. You get a careful examination of the whole chimney system, a camera run up the flue where access allows, photographs of anything we turn up, and a clear written report graded against the NFPA 211 levels, with nobody leaning on you to buy a thing afterward.

Chimney Repair

Most chimney trouble starts out small. A hairline split in the crown, a mortar joint that has weathered hollow, a strip of flashing that has peeled away from the brick, a damper rusted past the point of closing. Caught early, every one of those is a clean, contained repair, and it costs a fraction of what waiting until water has driven deep into the structure will run you. Cambridge Chimney Sweep repairs chimneys across the city by pinning down exactly where the water or the danger is getting in and correcting that precise fault, documenting both the problem and the finished work, and never nudging you toward a full rebuild the chimney does not actually call for.

Chimney Cap Installation

The cap is the small, easily forgotten piece of a chimney that quietly prevents some of its costliest problems. An open flue is a standing invitation for rain and snow to pour straight down onto the damper and the smoke shelf, for sparks to drift out onto the roof, and for the squirrels, raccoons, and nesting birds of every Cambridge yard to move into the one shaft that is supposed to be carrying smoke away. Cambridge Chimney Sweep installs caps across the city in stainless steel and copper, sized to your specific flue, fitted with spark-arrestor mesh, and anchored to hold through a New England nor'easter. It is among the least expensive upgrades a chimney can get and one of the highest returns for the money.

Chimney Liner Replacement

The liner is the part of the chimney that does the actual safety work, and on a great many of Cambridge's older homes it is the part most overdue for attention. The clay flue tiles original to these chimneys crack with age and heat, and plenty of flues now venting a modern furnace, boiler, or wood stove were never sized for the appliance bolted to them today. Cambridge Chimney Sweep replaces and relines chimney flues across the city with stainless steel liner systems sized to the appliance below, installed and insulated to the appropriate standard, and tested for draft before we leave, so an aging chimney can vent safely for the long haul rather than endangering the home wrapped around it.

Masonry & Tuckpointing

The brick and mortar of a chimney take more weather than nearly any other part of a Cambridge home, standing exposed at the highest, windiest point of the house through every freeze and thaw of a New England winter. Over the years the mortar joints wash out, the brick faces spall and crumble, and the crown capping it all cracks, and once that happens water has the run of the whole structure. Cambridge Chimney Sweep repairs chimney masonry across the city with tuckpointing and repointing, spalled-brick replacement, crown rebuilding, and waterproofing, all matched to the existing chimney so the repair restores the structure instead of simply hiding the damage. We do the brickwork that keeps an old chimney standing and watertight.
