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.

AfterChimney Company in Foxborough, MA
A chimney sweeping in Foxborough, MA typically costs $189 – $289 for a standard open fireplace, and you’ll get a written price before any tool comes off the truck. That’s how we run every job at Flint Chimney Sweep. Foxborough’s mix of older colonials, mid-century ranches, and newer construction off Route 1 means no two flues wear the same way, but the discipline is always identical: document the condition, price the work in writing, and stand behind it for a full year. Call (830) 251-4560 for a free estimate.
Why Foxborough Homes Are Different
Foxborough sits on fairly flat terrain south of Boston, and the housing stock tells a story. You’ll find 1960s split-levels and ranches around the center of town, older colonials near the common, and a belt of 1980s and 1990s construction fanning out toward Route 140 and Mechanic Street. Each era has its own chimney habits. The older homes often have unlined or terra-cotta-lined flues that absorb decades of creosote, while some mid-century builds used prefab fireplaces that are now well past their intended service life.
New England winters do the rest. Freeze-thaw cycles work on mortar joints and crowns from late October through April. A chimney that leaks at the crown lets water into the flue, and water plus creosote creates an acidic slurry that eats at the liner. That’s the single most common pattern we document on Foxborough flues – not one dramatic failure, but slow water intrusion nobody sees until an inspection camera points it out. The upside is that Foxborough’s access is generally straightforward: driveways are wide enough for our equipment, and most chimneys are reachable with standard ladder work rather than roof staging.
Our Main Foxborough Services
The two calls Foxborough homeowners make most often are for an annual sweep before burning season and for an inspection after a chimney has sat unused a few years. Here’s what each involves locally.
Chimney Sweep in Foxborough
A Chimney Sweep in Foxborough removes the creosote and soot that build up on flue walls, and in Foxborough that buildup tends to be heavier in homes that burn through long winters from October to April. We run brushes the full length of the flue, remove debris from the smoke shelf and damper area, and leave the firebox cleaned out. The written price you approve covers the sweep, the cleanup, and the disposal – no surprise line items at the door.
Chimney Inspection in Foxborough
Our Chimney Inspection in Foxborough puts a camera into the flue so you can see exactly what we see. Foxborough homes built before the 1980s often have terra-cotta liners with crack patterns that only a camera documents clearly. The inspection covers the crown, flashing, cap, damper, liner, and firebox, and you get a written report with photos. If we recommend work, you’ll have the images in front of you and a written price for anything we propose – never a verbal opinion you have to take on faith.
Chimney Repair in Foxborough
When a Foxborough chimney needs more than cleaning, our Chimney Repair in Foxborough work covers liner replacement, crown repair, repointing, damper work, and cap installation. We use professional materials from brands like DuraFlex and Olympia Chimney, specified by the job, not by margin. Every repair carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if a covered repair fails within one full year, we return at no charge to make it right.

Pricing for Chimney Company in Foxborough, MA
| Service | Typical range in Foxborough |
|---|---|
| Standard chimney sweep (open fireplace) | $189 – $289 |
| Chimney sweep for wood stove or insert | $199 – $325 |
| Level 2 chimney inspection (camera) | $249 – $349 |
| Level 1 chimney inspection (visual) | $129 – $199 |
| Chimney cap installation | $150 – $450 |
| Crown repair | $350 – $800 |

| Chase cover replacement | $350 – $700 |
| Damper replacement | $250 – $600 |
Two things push a Foxborough quote toward the upper end of those ranges: flue height and liner condition. A tall two-story chimney with limited access takes more ladder work, and a liner that’s already fractured may require relining rather than a simple repair. Whatever the number, you’ll see it in writing before we start, and the invoice will match it.
