Our local, certified technicians bring decades of hands-on experience to every home we visit—delivering clear communication, fair pricing, and workmanship that stands up to New England weather.
Your chimney does more than carry smoke: it manages heat, drafts, and dangerous byproducts. When neglected, creosote build-up, cracked flue tiles, missing caps, or failing masonry can lead to costly damage or safety hazards. Our team addresses the full picture—from prevention and maintenance to repair and restoration—so you enjoy a safer, more efficient home for years to come.
We remove soot and creosote to reduce fire risk and improve draft. A clean chimney burns more efficiently and keeps smoke where it belongs—outside. Ideal for wood-burning fireplaces, stoves, and inserts.

Whether you schedule a sweep, inspection, or repair, our process is designed to be straightforward and stress-free. We start with a brief conversation about your system’s history—age of the fireplace, frequency of use, any past repairs, and recent odors, smoke issues, or animal activity. From there, we protect adjacent floors and furnishings, set up our HEPA vacuum, and get to work.
A standard chimney sweep includes brushing the flue and smoke chamber to remove soot and creosote, clearing the firebox, and confirming that the damper opens and closes freely. We’ll look for signs of spalling brick, gaps in mortar joints, and any staining that could indicate moisture penetration.
For deeper insights, we perform a camera scan of the flue to identify cracked tiles, missing mortar, offsets, or debris left by animals. You’ll receive photos or short video clips along with a clear explanation of what we found and what (if anything) needs to be addressed now versus monitored over time.
If repairs are recommended, we’ll present options that balance longevity and budget. For example, a deteriorated crown might be rebuilt with reinforced concrete and a bonded waterproof coating, while minor mortar loss can often be solved with precision tuckpointing. If the flue is compromised, we’ll discuss relining solutions designed for your fuel type.
Schedule your sweep in the late spring or summer. You’ll beat the fall rush and ensure your fireplace is ready when the first cold snap hits Litchfield County.
