Creosote is the black, tar-like residue that coats your chimney flue after every fire. Left unchecked, it hardens into a flammable glaze that can ignite even at low temperatures—Melrose winters don’t help. Our rotary brush system and HEPA vacuums clear every inch of your flue, from the damper to the crown, without leaving a speck of soot in your living room. We don’t stop at the basics; we inspect for cracks, gaps, or mortar deterioration that could let heat escape or cold air in. You’ll get a written report with before-and-after photos, so you know exactly what we fixed. No guesswork, no surprises.
Request this service →A passing inspection in Melrose isn’t just about ticking boxes—it’s about spotting the hidden flaws that lead to chimney fires or carbon monoxide leaks. We use high-resolution cameras to peer inside your flue, checking for creosote thickness, flue tile gaps, and even animal nests that block airflow. Our Level 2 inspection meets Massachusetts code and includes a crawlspace check if your chimney runs through an attic. We’ll flag issues like a cracked chimney crown (common in older Melrose homes) or a deteriorating liner before they force an emergency repair. You’ll leave with a clear picture of your chimney’s health.
Request this service →A small crack in your chimney crown or a gap in the mortar can turn a cozy Melrose evening by the fire into a costly repair job. We use heat-resistant, waterproof materials to seal cracks and rebuild damaged sections without tearing apart your masonry. For flue liners, we offer stainless steel relining that resists corrosion and improves draft—critical for homes with older, clay-tile liners. All repairs come with a 1-year workmanship warranty, and we’ll explain your options upfront so you’re not stuck with a band-aid solution. No pressure, just solutions.
Request this service →A missing or damaged chimney cap is like leaving your front door wide open in a Melrose nor’easter. We install custom-fit caps that block rain, squirrels, and even embers that could ignite a roof fire. Our caps are made of durable stainless steel with mesh screening to keep pests out while allowing proper airflow. Installation takes under an hour, and we’ll make sure it’s secured to withstand winds up to 100 mph—common in coastal Massachusetts. Protect your chimney and your wallet with a cap that lasts.
Request this service →Wood stoves and fireplaces in Melrose homes work overtime in winter, but most homeowners don’t realize how much soot and ash accumulate in the firebox and baffle. We remove built-up creosote from stove pipes and glass doors, restoring heat output and reducing smoke spillback. For gas fireplaces, we clean burners and vents to prevent clogs that can trigger error codes. You’ll notice the difference immediately: brighter flames, less smoke odor, and no more black streaks on your walls. We even offer glass polishing as an add-on for a like-new finish.
Request this service →Melrose’s wet winters and dramatic temperature swings turn unprotected chimneys into sponges. Our siloxane-based waterproofing penetrates deep into the masonry, repelling water while allowing vapor to escape—critical for preventing cracks and spalling. Unlike cheap sealants that peel or trap moisture, ours bonds permanently and comes with a 5-year warranty. We’ll treat your chimney crown, bricks, and flue tiles to stop leaks at the source. No more water stains on your ceiling or moss growing in your mortar joints.
