Northeastern Masonry & Chimney

The NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) Standard 211 states that all chimneys should be inspected once a year (preferably at the end of a burn season), and cleaned as necessary. Putting off a cleaning can lead to a chimney fire as well as chimney and fireplace damage. The chimney sweeping process involves the use of specialized brushes and high-powered vacuums to loosen and remove creosote, soot and debris in the chimney system. The best way to keep rain and animals out of your chimney is to have a high-quality chimney cap professionally installed on your chimney.

At Northeastern Masonry & Chimney, our CSIA-certified sweeps specialize in fireplace cleaning and inspections. During our thorough inspections, we take a close look from the top of the chimney (where we inspect the chimney cap, chimney crown, flashing, and brickwork) all the way down the inside of the chimney to the fireplace (including the smoke chamber, damper, firebox, lintel, hearth and ash dump door). Based on our findings during this inspection, our crew will determine if a cleaning is needed.

When something is wrong with your chimney system, it can be both incredibly dangerous and incredibly frustrating. But rest assured, with Northeastern Masonry & Chimney on your side, your chimney system will be up and running again in no time. We offer comprehensive chimney services to bring your system back to peak performance and keep it there. If you are experiencing problems with your chimney and have tried just about everything, it's possible that your problems are related to the physics of your chimney system.
