Our Chimney Sweep Techs Offer Inspections, Cleanings, Repairs, Rebuilds & More
Having your chimney regularly maintained by Everest Masonry & Painting will ensure it works at its best while protecting you from any potential health hazards. A chimney that isn’t working properly could cause smoke to get into your home or could even lead to a fire.

One of the best things you can do to keep your chimney safe and working optimally is to schedule yearly chimney sweep services from our trained chimney professionals. Everest Masonry & Painting has provided complete chimney cleaning, chimney inspections and all chimney repairs to communities throughout the Boston in Massachusetts.

The Value of Annual Chimney Sweeping
Wood-burning fireplaces cause a substance known as creosote to form within their chimney flues every time a fire is burned. Creosote is created by smoke condensation and can be present as a sticky, flakey or solid compound.

Highly flammable and volatile, creosote is responsible for most chimney fires in the U.S. each year. Only a certified chimney sweep with the proper equipment and training is capable of safely cleaning creosote from your flue.

Removal of Flue Debris & Obstructions
Regular chimney sweeping also will remove debris from your flue. This debris might include leaves, twigs and fruit from nearby trees and the nests of small animals such as squirrels and birds.

Outside debris narrows the flue passage and prevents smoke from drafting properly. This can lead to a backup in your home of smoke and deadly carbon monoxide, which is both odorless and invisible. Our chimney sweeps will remove all debris from your flue.
