A Level 2 inspection goes beyond a basic sweep to include a video scan of your entire flue system, identifying cracks, blockages, or creosote buildup that could spark a fire or leak deadly carbon monoxide into your living space. In Boston’s older brick chimneys—many built before 1950—hidden damage from freeze-thaw cycles or past repairs often goes unnoticed until it’s too late. We document every finding with photos and a detailed report, so you can see exactly what we see and why it matters. This isn’t just a service; it’s your first line of defense against a chimney fire that could gut your home in minutes.
Request this service →Creosote isn’t just soot; it’s a highly flammable byproduct of wood burning that coats your chimney like candle wax. In Boston’s damp winters, moisture accelerates creosote buildup, turning a routine fire into a roaring blaze that can spread to your roof in under 20 minutes. Our rotary brush system and HEPA vacuums clear every trace, even in hard-to-reach offsets or terra-cotta flues common in Back Bay and South End homes. We leave your chimney cleaner than when we started—and safer than Massachusetts code requires.
Request this service →Carbon monoxide (CO) is odorless, colorless, and deadly. A cracked flue or blocked chimney can funnel this gas back into your Boston apartment or single-family home, causing flu-like symptoms or worse. We use professional-grade CO detectors to measure ambient levels and pinpoint leaks at the source. If we find damage, we repair it on the spot with code-compliant materials, ensuring your chimney vents properly. This isn’t a scare tactic—it’s a life-saving service that Boston’s fire departments recommend annually.
Request this service →Boston’s freeze-thaw cycles are brutal on chimneys. A single winter can turn hairline cracks in your crown into gaping holes, letting water seep into the masonry and freeze, spalling bricks and collapsing the chase. We rebuild damaged crowns with reinforced mortar and install stainless-steel chimney caps to block debris and animals. This stops leaks at the source and prevents the costly rot that forces homeowners to rebuild entire chimneys—often in the middle of winter.
Request this service →Old, unlined chimneys are fire hazards waiting to happen. In Boston’s historic triple-deckers, many original flues were built for coal—not today’s hotter wood stoves. We install rigid or flexible stainless-steel liners that meet Massachusetts code, improving draft and reducing creosote accumulation. This upgrade isn’t just for safety; it’s often required when upgrading to a modern appliance. We handle permits and inspections so you don’t have to.
