A "near me" call covers the whole range of chimney work. One accountable crew covers every one of them.

Chimney Sweep

The dark glaze coating the inside of a Somerville flue is condensed wood smoke, and once it gets thick enough a single hot fire can ignite it. Somerville Chimney Sweep drops cloths over the hearth, sets up HEPA-filtered negative-air containment, and scrubs the flue with rods and brushes from both ends so no soot drifts into the room. Many Somerville fireplaces were built decades ago with smoke chambers that trap residue, so our sweep always reaches up past the damper into that space. We will tell you honestly whether your flue actually needed it, and if it did not, you will hear that too, with no manufactured urgency. Get us at 617-203-6382 and book a sweep that leaves the house cleaner than we found it.

Chimney Inspection

Whether you are buying a Somerville home, selling one, or just lighting the fireplace again, an inspection turns guesswork about the chimney into facts. Our inspectors check the exterior, the firebox, the damper, and the smoke chamber, then push a camera the length of the flue to document every joint and tile. The freeze-thaw cycles common across area crack crowns and spall brick, and an inspection catches that damage before it lets water in. We hand you the camera footage and the written summary, so the condition of your flue is never just our opinion. Get us at 617-203-6382 for an honest, written assessment of your Somerville chimney.

Chimney Repair

Water is the enemy of a Somerville chimney, and once it finds a gap in the crown or the mortar joints it works its way deeper every freeze-thaw cycle. We pinpoint the leak before quoting it, then tuckpoint, waterproof, repair the crown, or reflash the chimney-to-roof joint so the water finally stays out. In Somerville, the same wind-driven rain that batters the north face of a chimney is what opens the mortar joints on that exposed side first. You will understand what caused the leak and what we did about it, in plain terms and with pictures. Ring 617-203-6382 to have your Somerville chimney repaired and waterproofed right.

Chimney Cap Installation

A Somerville chimney with no cap, or a rusted-out one, is taking on every rainstorm directly into the flue where that moisture wrecks the liner. The team fabricates or fits a cap to your chimney, including custom multi-flue covers for stacks with more than one liner, and seals it properly. The wind that comes off the area corridor tears cheap caps loose, so we anchor every Somerville cap to take a real gust. We match the cap material to your exposure, heavier near the water and standard inland, rather than selling one option to everyone. Ring 617-203-6382 and we will measure, fit, and anchor the right cap for your Somerville stack.

Chimney Crown Repair

Your Somerville chimney crown takes the full force of rain, snow, and MA freeze-thaw, and once it cracks the whole stack below it starts taking on water. Our masons patch and seal a serviceable crown with a flexible waterproof coating, or rebuild it properly with an overhang and drip edge when it is too far gone. the area freeze-thaw cycle is exactly what turns a hairline crown crack into a structural failure, so we catch and seal them early on Somerville chimneys. Our written quote spells out whether you are getting a coating or a rebuild and why, before any work begins. Phone 617-203-6382 and we will waterproof the top of your Somerville chimney.

Chimney Liner Installation

A cracked or missing flue liner is one of the more serious findings on a Somerville chimney, because it lets heat and combustion gases reach the surrounding structure. Our relining matches the liner type and diameter to the appliance, installs it insulated and code-compliant, and documents the finished system. A Somerville chimney that has had a chimney fire often shows cracked tiles on the camera scan, and that flue must be relined before it is used again. Our install is UL-listed material, insulated to code, and documented with a final camera check you can review. Reach us at 617-203-6382 for a code-compliant stainless liner sized to your appliance.
