At Billy Sweet Chimney Sweep, we have over 30 years of experience sweeping, inspecting, and caring for the chimneys of New England. Since day one, we've been dedicated to providing the highest level of customer service and care, and making sure that the chimney systems of our neighbors in Boston, North Shore, Scarborough, and the surrounding areas are functioning as safely and efficiently as possible. With Billy Sweet Chimney Sweep, you know what you're getting. Our technicians are always easy to identify, showing up in clean uniforms, ID tags, and company branded trucks.

Chimneys are made of porous materials, and over time, as water seeps into brick and mortar, that masonry can start to deteriorate, causing leaks and leading toward larger problems. That deterioration is only made worse with the changing seasons, as water that's trapped in the masonry expands and contracts as it freezes and melts. Waterproofing your chimney is a great way to fight off encroaching water, and it's a worthwhile value to homeowners since it's helping prevent big, costly deterioration that can come about otherwise.

Whether you need to replace a factory-built fireplace unit that has reached the end of its service life, want to add a brand new chimney appliance or replace an older one with a more efficient fireplace, insert, or stove, Billy Sweet Chimney Sweep can meet your needs. We only install quality products that are backed by unparalleled warranties, and we guarantee our workmanship for a year as well. According to the National Association of Home Builders, fireplaces are among the top three features new home buyers desire, which means your fireplace, insert, or stove can not only bring years of enjoyment to your family, but could be a big added benefit if you choose to sell your home.

Your chimney plays a vital role in keeping you and your family safe: its job is to contain harmful byproducts coming from your fireplace, stove and heating appliances — gases, smoke, tar fog, unburned wood particles — and to transport those harmful elements outside your home. But without proper care and maintenance, a lot can go wrong. As those heated byproducts flow up the relatively cooler chimney, condensation occurs, resulting in a residue called creosote. Creosote is highly combustible, and can result in chimney fires.

Here in the Northeast, we certainly get plenty of opportunities to gather around the hearth. But when it's brutally cold or you lose power, heading outside for firewood may be the last thing you want to do. You want heat and you want it ASAP, with as little effort as possible. That's when gas fireplace inserts and stoves really shine. These appliances rely on natural gas or propane (LP) to heat the home, and they can be fired up and turned off with the touch of a button. That means that when it's so cold you don't want to run out for firewood, you don't have to.

It might sound simple, but chimney sweeping is a detailed process that requires an expert's care to be done right, and it's key to keeping your chimney functioning and your home and family safe. Whenever you use your fireplace or stove, your chimney is working to keep harmful substances that result from burning fuel — gases, smoke, particles, minerals and more — safely contained and then removed. But over time, debris and creosote (the residue that results from those byproducts moving up your chimney) builds up and can lead to blockages and fires.

Your fireplace, stove, and heating appliances provide warmth and many other benefits, and your chimney is working hard to ensure it's being done safely. It captures and removes harmful gases, debris, and other byproducts, keeping your home and family safe. But over time, byproducts can build up in a chimney — forming creosote, a sometimes flaky, sometimes puffy, sometimes sticky but always highly-combustible residue — increasing the risk of blockages, damage, and fire. Cracks can form in chimneys too, allowing harmful gases to leak into your home.

Chimney sweeping isn't a federally regulated industry, so unfortunately, anyone can buy a couple of tools and brushes and say that they're qualified. But hiring the wrong team for the job can be a costly mistake. A lot of chimney fires and fireplace issues can be avoided by proper maintenance, while problems and dangers can be exacerbated by unqualified chimney sweeps and their sub-par repair work. We've even had to go in and help homeowners after they've been scammed by some of these unqualified companies.

Like any system that's working hard, your chimney will eventually need some repairs. It's made up of masonry and/or metal, and its use, lack of use, and exposure to fire and the elements can cause some of its many parts to fail. Since your chimney is doing such an important job in your home, you'll want to take care of any needed repairs quickly and efficiently — and with certified, licensed technicians. Billy Sweet Chimney Sweep is here to help, no matter what your chimney repair needs are.
