What is creosote buildup and why is it dangerous?

Creosote is sticky soot that accumulates inside the chimney flue. It can block airflow and cause dangerous chimney fires. Regular professional cleaning by ChimneyFix prevents this risk.

How do I prevent chimney water leaks?

Cracks in the masonry or missing chimney caps allow rainwater inside, damaging bricks and mortar over time. Professional waterproofing and cap installation by ChimneyFix protects your chimney.

What causes a blocked chimney?

Debris, bird nests, or fallen leaves can block airflow in the flue, leading to smoke backup and poor ventilation. Annual chimney inspections help detect and clear blockages early.

How often should I get my chimney swept?

The National Fire Protection Association recommends chimneys be inspected at least once a year and cleaned as needed — typically before each heating season.

Richard

Great work! Chimney housing was replaced and cap affixed. Job was done as if he lived here. Would recommend this company to anyone having chimney work to be done. Very professional!

Jackie Robinson

Carlo installed a new chimney cap on our chimney. Chimney cap was damaged in hurricane a year or so ago, and couldn’t find anyone to actually come do the repairs (although we had a few companies give quotes and say they could/would), no one would actually show up to measure and replace. He showed up when he said and had it repaired as he said. Looks better than the original.

Sara C.

Read tons of reviews before deciding to hire Chimney Fix for our 100 year old bungalow fireplace. Carlo was amazing from the very start! Rain had us having to reschedule again & again. Carlo was patient, kind & when we were finally able to get repair done, he was on time, courteous & did a wonderful job on our fire place! He installed a new damper, repaired our chimney cap & laid new foundation inside our fire place, all within a few hours as promised! Look no further! Chimney Fix is all you need for your fireplace needs! Ten out of ten stars!!!

Felicia Wittman

We bought a new house in April and were excited to have our first fire once the temperature dropped this winter. When we lit the fire, smoke rolled into the house instead of going up the chimney. We called Chimney Fix. They came out promptly, identified the issue, provided an estimate for repairs and came back to get it done for us. We were able to have a fire the very same day with no issues at all, just in time for Christmas! I'd give them 10 stars if I could. - Babson Park
