Certified technicians who protect your flooring, capture all the soot, and hold same-week openings for local homeowners.
A single crew covers everything on this list — the technician who cleans your flue is the same person who prepares your report.
We brush the entire flue and vacuum out all soot so your fireplace pulls a clean draft and operates safely.
Includes — Full flue brushing, smoke chamber, firebox, damper inspection, photo documentation.
Accumulated lint restricts airflow and creates a real fire risk, so we clear the entire path from dryer to outside wall.
Includes — Complete vent brushing, airflow verification, exterior cap inspection.
A thorough review of the flue, crown, liner, and firebox, with written notes on every item that warrants attention.
Includes — Internal camera scan, written summary, photographs.
A properly sized stainless cap prevents rain, wildlife, and debris from entering the flue and eliminates downdrafts.
Includes — On-site measurement, stainless cap, spark arrestor, fastened mount.
We restore crumbling mortar joints, rebuild worn crowns, and seal the brickwork before moisture causes further damage.
Includes — Tuckpointing, crown rebuild, flashing inspection, waterproof sealing.
A full cleaning and safety review for wood and pellet stoves, covering the stovepipe through to the door seal.
Includes — Stovepipe brushing, baffle inspection, gasket and door-seal check.

Your technician lays drop cloths from the entrance to the hearth and covers the fireplace opening before any work begins.
Before we pack up, you get a written summary with photographs of the flue and anything that deserves monitoring.
You see what we find: photographs of the flue, crown, and cap following every appointment.
You receive a two-hour window and a phone call when we are headed your way.
Drop cloths, shoe covers, and a HEPA vacuum running the entire time we are inside.
We explain what requires immediate attention and what can hold off without worry.
Every sweep on our team holds current certification and completes in-house training before handling a job solo.
Operated by the same family since 2010. Independent from day one, still independent now.
Dear neighbor,
My grandfather began cleaning chimneys in Berlin with a pickup truck, a set of brushes, and a commitment to leave every hearth in better shape than he found it. That is still how we operate.
When you call, you speak with our family, not a dispatch center, and the technician who shows up is someone we trained in person. Our reputation rides on every job.

Proudly serving Berlin, CT and nearby communities, including:
Not on the list? Call (860) 792-8684 — we might still be able to get to you.
Late summer or early fall is ideal. Our calendar fills up fast once the first chilly evening hits, so booking by September keeps you ahead of the rush.
Once a year for most households that burn wood on a regular basis. If you go through more than a cord per season or notice dark flakes in the firebox, schedule a cleaning sooner.
We run a camera through the flue liner, examine the crown, cap, flashing, damper, and firebox, and hand you a written report with photographs.
Absolutely — wood and pellet stoves receive a thorough cleaning and safety review, from the stovepipe down to the baffle and door gasket.
A standard sweep runs about an hour. Adding an inspection with a camera scan tacks on another 30 to 45 minutes.
Late summer and early fall fill up quickly. Grab your time slot before the busy season arrives.
