Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

Why Franklin Town Homes Are Different
Franklin Town, MA sits far enough inland that winters throw real freeze-thaw cycles at masonry, and enough homes here burn wood as a primary or secondary heat source that creosote buildup is the single most common issue we document. Homes built before the 1980s often have unlined or clay-tile-lined flues, which crack under repeated heating and cooling. Newer homes may have factory-built fireplaces with their own tolerances, but they still need annual sweeping if they see regular use. The terrain matters too: Franklin Town’s mix of close-set neighborhoods and larger wooded lots affects roof access, ladder setup, and how we protect landscaping while working. We dispatch crews who have swept Franklin Town chimneys enough to know that an interior flue that looks clean at the hearth can hide glaze creosote at the smoke shelf. We check the whole run, not the easy half.
Our Main Franklin Town Services
Here are the three services Franklin Town homeowners call us for most, each with its own dedicated page for pricing and procedure in this area.
Chimney Sweep in Franklin Town
A Franklin Town chimney sweep is a full clean-and-check, not a quick brush. We remove creosote and soot from the firebox to the flue cap, check the damper, baffle, and firebrick, and report what we see. Most Franklin Town homes should be swept annually if they burn wood more than a couple dozen times a season. Full details and Franklin Town pricing are on the Chimney Sweep in Franklin Town page.
Chimney Inspection in Franklin Town
Real estate transactions and post-storm questions drive a lot of Franklin Town inspection calls. Our inspections follow the NFPA 211 levels: Level 1 for annual checkups, Level 2 for home sales or after a chimney fire. We run a camera through the flue and give you photo evidence before recommending any work. Nothing gets sold on a hunch. See the Chimney Inspection in Franklin Town page for what each level costs here.
