Creosote & Soot Removal
Targeted removal of flammable creosote and heavy soot deposits that build up after regular wood burning.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
A sweep removes soot, creosote and debris from the flue. An inspection is a closer look at the condition of the chimney, including the crown, cap, masonry and liner, to check that it is safe to use.
Signs include a smoky smell, black soot on the firebox walls, poor draft, smoke entering the room, or visible creosote buildup. When in doubt, have it checked.
Please call us on (508) 978-1327 with details of your appliance and we will let you know how we can help.
