Services

At SAFE CHIMNEYS, INC. we strive to bring you EXCELLENT service.  Our sweeps are experts at containing soot during all sweeping. We use high velocity vacuums with outstanding filters.  We try our best to keep your home looking the same as it did before we arrived by bringing in as many drop cloths as needed to keep your home clean and neat! Our sweeps are experts at uncovering problems that are within the chimney out of visual sight of the homeowner.  Any of the issues that we find, we can document for you with photos.   Our highest priority is to help maintain your chimney and ensure proper venting of all your flues.  How, you may ask?  By keeping to an annual maintenance schedule of cleaning and inspection, we can help minimize the dangerous build-up of soot and creosote in your fireplace and wood stove.  In addition, we can remove deposits and other debris that are in your furnace flue BEFORE it leads to dangerous carbon monoxide blockages.  Our well trained sweeps will measure the flow of exhaust out of your home, after cleaning your furnace flue.   

Aside from chimney sweeping, inspections and diagnosing chimney problems, we offer a wide range of chimney related services, which include: 

• Installation of energy efficient top sealing replacement dampers.  Replacement dampers are needed when water damage has oxidized, warped or otherwise corroded existing cast iron dampers.  These are also a GREAT MONEY-SAVER!  They WILL save you money on your heating bill. 
• Installation of rain caps to cover flues and keep water, animals and leaves out of your home.  
• Installation of stainless steel chimney liners for deteriorated or over/under sized flues for heating system exhaust whether it be oil/gas, wood stoves or fireplaces.  

We LOVE a good challenge.  CALL US for your chimney related problem at 781.891.9900!

A Furnace Flue that has deteriorated over time. The passageway is partially obstructed allowing heating system exhaust to escape. Sweeping your flue does not eliminate deterioration from occurring, but it does slow the process down greatly.

A Furnace Flue that has deteriorated over time. The passageway is partially obstructed allowing heating system exhaust to escape. At a close look, you will notice a piece of the actual flue tile that has broken off due to corrosion and has fallen to the base of the flue.

This inferior product was once used to reline a furnace flue that served an oil boiler. Ouch!

This is a prefabricated fireplace that has some form of shifting or was poorly installed. Either way this flue is compromised and clearly cannot convey the products of combustion, soot, creosote, or heat safely out of the home.

This is a flaking, spalling flue tile that has a hole going right through it.

This is a creosote build up inside of a wood stove liner. This woodstove was acting sluggish. Most of this soot and creosote can be safely removed because the chimney has been lined with stainless steel. Otherwise, the wood stove would probably continue to operate just fine until a chimney fire occurred.

This flue tile is ok, however the exhaust is escaping around it and going to the base of the chimney. The breach needs to be repaired.
