Real answers for chimney sweep and cleaning
What happens during a chimney sweep
We protect the work area, check the fireplace and visible flue path, remove soot and loose buildup, look for draft or moisture clues, and explain what we see. The goal is not just a cleaner chimney. The goal is a safer fireplace and a homeowner who understands what condition the system is in.
When Boston homes usually need sweeping
Annual chimney sweeping is common for active fireplaces. You may need service sooner if you notice smoke backing into the room, a strong odor, falling debris, black buildup, birds or leaves near the flue, or a fireplace that has not been used in years.
