A clean chimney isn’t just about smoke—it’s about safety. Every wood fire leaves behind creosote, a dark, sticky residue that coats your flue and becomes a serious fire hazard. In Franklin’s older homes, where chimneys often see decades of use, this buildup can happen faster than you’d expect. Our sweep removes all layers of creosote, ash, and blockages, restoring proper airflow and reducing the risk of a chimney fire. We also check for cracks, gaps, or damaged liners that could let heat escape or allow carbon monoxide into your living space. You’ll get a clear before-and-after report with photos, so you know exactly what we fixed.
Request this service →Franklin’s building codes and your homeowner’s insurance often require a certified chimney inspection—especially after a major storm, a chimney fire, or a change in ownership. We perform two levels of inspection: a Level 1 visual check for accessible areas and a Level 2 video scan that peers deep into your flue. This isn’t just a quick look—it’s a full diagnostic that catches hidden damage, like cracked tiles, deteriorating mortar, or obstructions near the damper. We’ll provide a detailed report with timestamps and recommendations, so you can show your insurer proof of compliance and avoid costly surprises down the road.
Request this service →Franklin’s unpredictable weather—think Nor’easters and sudden downpours—can wreak havoc on unprotected chimneys. A missing or damaged chimney cap lets rainwater seep in, causing bricks to erode, mortar to weaken, and metal components to rust. Our caps are custom-fitted to your flue’s exact dimensions and include mesh screening to block squirrels, raccoons, and even birds from nesting inside. We also install chase covers for masonry chimneys, which sit atop the crown to shed water away from vulnerable joints. It’s a small investment that prevents thousands in water damage repairs.
Request this service →Franklin’s historic homes often hide chimney damage beneath a fresh coat of paint or a new roof. Cracked bricks, crumbling mortar joints, and eroded chimney crowns can let water into your home’s walls, leading to mold, rot, and even foundation issues. We repair damaged masonry using high-temperature mortar and matching bricks when needed, and we repoint joints to restore structural integrity. Our work meets CSIA standards, so your chimney stays safe and your home’s value stays intact. We also seal cracks with waterproofing compounds to keep moisture out for good.
Request this service →If your Franklin home has a gas fireplace or insert, it still needs regular care—even though it doesn’t produce creosote. Dust, cobwebs, and debris can clog vents, while faulty gaskets or cracked glass can let carbon monoxide escape. We inspect and clean gas lines, test ignition systems, and check for proper venting to ensure safe, efficient operation. We also verify that your unit meets current safety standards, which is especially important for older models in homes near the Franklin Public Library or along King Street. A well-maintained gas fireplace saves energy and reduces repair costs.
Request this service →The chimney crown is your first line of defense against Franklin’s rain and snow, but it’s often overlooked until cracks appear. A damaged crown lets water pool on your chimney’s top, seeping into the masonry below and causing freeze-thaw damage over time. We repair or replace crowns using durable, weather-resistant materials, and we inspect flue liners for cracks or gaps that could allow heat to escape into your walls. If your liner is damaged, we’ll recommend a stainless steel relining system that improves draft and meets modern safety codes. It’s a proactive fix that prevents costly water damage and improves heating efficiency.
