Chimney inspection in Cambridge
A chimney in Cambridge works hardest in the coldest months, which is exactly when nobody wants to find out it is unsafe. A camera inspection now costs nothing and settles the question before the first fire.
A lot of Cambridge homes have had an open masonry fireplace converted to gas without the liner being resized. An oversized flue on a gas appliance condenses and corrodes from the inside out.
What we find most often in Cambridge
- Negative pressure from bathroom and range fans pulling smoke back
- Crown cracking and spalling brick after freeze-thaw
- Bird and raccoon nesting in unguarded flues
- Chase cover pooling water on factory-built chimneys
- Cracked clay liner tiles at the mortar joints
- Oversized flue on a converted gas appliance

What Cambridge homeowners say
They told me the flue did not need sweeping yet and charged only for the inspection. First contractor in years to talk me out of spending money.
1920s brick, plenty of quirks. The technician clearly knew older builds and pointed out mortar joints to watch rather than pushing a rebuild.
Recorded the whole flue on video for the buyer's agent. The chimney line item stopped being a negotiation point the same day.
Old house with a furnace flue as well. They handled both in one visit and discounted the second one rather than charging full price twice.
Free chimney inspection in Cambridge: FAQs
Is the chimney inspection in Cambridge really free?
Yes. A WETT-certified technician attends your Cambridge home, runs the 21-point safety check, and emails a written report with photos at no charge. There is no call-out fee and no obligation to book any repair.
How much does a chimney sweep cost in Cambridge?
A standard single-flue sweep with a Level 1 inspection runs about $180 to $260 in Cambridge. A Level 2 camera inspection for a sale, an insurer, or after a flue fire runs $230 to $360. Any extras are confirmed in writing before work starts.
How soon can you attend in Cambridge?
Most Cambridge bookings are attended within two to four business days, and smoke, carbon monoxide, or post-fire calls are dispatched same day. We call you back within 60 minutes during business hours.
How often should a Cambridge chimney be swept?
Once a year for any wood-burning appliance, and once a year for gas as a venting and carbon monoxide check. If you burn most evenings through a Cambridge winter, mid-season is worth a second look at the flue.
What does the free inspection actually include?
A full camera scan of the flue, creosote grading, crown, cap, flashing and chase inspection, damper and firebox check, a carbon monoxide draft test, and a dated written report with photos you can send to an insurer or a buyer's agent.
Do I have to book a repair afterwards?
No. You keep the report either way. If we find something, we quote it in writing and you decide in your own time. The $50 coupon is valid for 30 days on any chimney repair of $199 or more.
