Boston's Chimney Experts — Swept, Sealed & Safe

A Chimney Company Built for New England Homes

A chimney in Massachusetts lives a harder life than almost anywhere else in the country. It bakes through humid summers, soaks up wind-driven rain in the fall, and then endures dozens of freeze-thaw cycles every winter — each one prying at mortar joints, crown cracks, and brick faces. Add in the region's housing stock, much of it built between the 1850s and 1950s with unlined or clay-lined flues never designed for modern heating appliances, and annual professional attention stops being optional. It's how you keep a chimney from becoming either a water problem, a fire hazard, or a five-figure rebuild.

Upside Down Chimney Sweeps exists for exactly this. We sweep and inspect to NFPA 211, the national standard fire marshals and insurance companies reference. We scan flues with cameras so you never pay for guesswork. We repair crowns, flashing, and masonry with materials matched to New England conditions, install UL-listed stainless steel liners sized correctly for the appliance they vent, and cap every flue against rain, downdrafts, and animals. When a storm or chimney fire forces the issue, we handle emergency calls with priority scheduling.
