Chimney inspection in Dorchester
There is no way to grade creosote or spot a cracked liner tile from the firebox. In Dorchester homes we scan the full flue on camera and hand you the footage, whatever we find.
Semi-detached and row housing in Dorchester often shares a stack between units. Shared stacks need each flue checked separately — a neighbour's blockage can push smoke into your rooms.
What we find most often in Dorchester
- Missing, rusted, or undersized rain caps
- Damper seized open, bleeding heat all winter
- Chase cover pooling water on factory-built chimneys
- Cracked clay liner tiles at the mortar joints
- Negative pressure from bathroom and range fans pulling smoke back
- Efflorescence and damp patches on the chimney breast

What Dorchester homeowners say
Family of raccoons in the flue. They removed them humanely, cleaned everything, and fitted a stainless guard that has kept them out since.
1920s brick, plenty of quirks. The technician clearly knew older builds and pointed out mortar joints to watch rather than pushing a rebuild.
Smoke came into the living room on a Sunday evening. They were here the next morning, found a nest, cleared it, and tested the draft before leaving.
Shoe covers, sheeting, and a sealed vacuum. My wife works from home and barely noticed they were here.
Free chimney inspection in Dorchester: FAQs
Is the chimney inspection in Dorchester really free?
Yes. A WETT-certified technician attends your Dorchester 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 Dorchester?
A standard single-flue sweep with a Level 1 inspection runs about $190 to $280 in Dorchester. A Level 2 camera inspection for a sale, an insurer, or after a flue fire runs $250 to $380. Any extras are confirmed in writing before work starts.
How soon can you attend in Dorchester?
Most Dorchester 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 Dorchester 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 Dorchester 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.
