Barrington Chimney Sweep Services

Our chimney cleaning services remove dangerous creosote buildup, blockages, and debris that could lead to fires or poor ventilation. Regular sweeping is essential to keeping your fireplace or wood stove running safely and efficiently.

Our certified technicians use advanced tools and techniques to deliver a complete, mess-free clean with minimal disruption to your home.

Chimney Restoration

Exposure to moisture, extreme temperatures, and aging can cause mortar to crack, bricks to shift, and flashing to deteriorate. Our experienced team provides professional chimney repair services including tuckpointing, crown sealing, leak repair, and structural restoration.

We restore your chimney’s safety, appearance, and long-term performance with precision and care.

Chimney Inspections

Stay ahead of problems with a routine chimney inspection. Our certified technicians offer both standard and camera-assisted inspections to uncover hidden damage, moisture intrusion, or creosote buildup that may pose a risk.

Annual inspections are recommended for every home, especially before the heating season or after major storms.
