Learn more →We’re the only local chimney sweep with a decade of service in Boston’s tight-knit neighborhoods, from Beacon Hill to Dorchester. Unlike fly-by-night operators, we’re licensed (#CS-12345), insured, and bonded—so you’re protected from start to finish. Our technicians are background-checked and trained to NFPA 211 standards, not just ‘how to sweep’ basics. We stand behind every job with a 10-year workmanship warranty and free follow-up inspections, because safety shouldn’t expire when the warranty does.
A neglected chimney in Boston isn’t just a fire risk—it’s a ticking time bomb. Creosote buildup can ignite at 1,000°F, turning a cozy hearth into an inferno that spreads to your roof in minutes. Water intrusion from cracked crowns rots wooden framing, leading to costly structural repairs. And a blocked flue can push carbon monoxide back into your home, causing flu-like symptoms or worse. The average chimney fire claim tops $12,000—far more than a professional sweep and inspection.
Massachusetts requires chimney sweeps to be licensed and insured, but not all comply. We carry $2M in liability coverage and workers’ comp, so you’re never liable for accidents on your property. Our work meets or exceeds NFPA 211, International Residential Code, and Boston’s own fire safety ordinances. We pull permits for major repairs and schedule city inspections, so you’re covered if your insurer questions the work later.
Boston’s weather is unpredictable, and chimney problems don’t wait for a sunny day. We offer same-day appointments for emergencies—like a chimney fire, CO alarm activation, or a blocked flue during a winter storm. Our team is on call 24/7, including holidays, because we know a delayed response can turn a minor issue into a disaster. Call (857) 361-0106 and we’ll be at your door before the next Nor’easter hits.
We hold ourselves to the highest standards so you can hire with total confidence.
At Dominic Chimney LLC, we don’t just sweep chimneys—we protect Boston homes from silent, deadly risks. Our team specializes in identifying fire hazards before they ignite, with a sharp eye for creosote buildup, cracked flues, and blockages that trap carbon monoxide inside. We follow NFPA 211 and Massachusetts building codes to the letter, ensuring every inspection and cleaning meets the strictest safety standards. When we leave your Boston home, you’ll know your chimney is as safe as it is clean.
Call (857) 361-0106 or book online for a same-day appointment. We’ll confirm your address, discuss any symptoms (smoke smells, draft issues), and dispatch a licensed technician within 2 hours in Boston proper.
Our technician arrives with video gear, CO detector, and full PPE. We scan your flue, test for draft, measure CO levels, and photograph every issue. You’ll get a digital report with clear next steps—no vague ‘call us later’ promises.
Using rotary brushes, HEPA vacuums, and chemical treatments for stubborn creosote, we remove every trace of soot and debris. We cap the job with a stainless-steel chimney cap to block pests and water, then seal any gaps with fire-rated mortar.
Before we leave, we test your draft, recheck CO levels, and walk you through the findings. All repairs come with a 10-year warranty, and we schedule a free follow-up inspection in 6 months to ensure your chimney stays safe.
"After a chimney fire scare, Dominic Chimney came the same day and found a hidden creosote buildup behind a bend in the flue. Their video inspection showed the exact problem, and they fixed it before I could even file a claim. Saved my home—and my insurance premiums."
"I ignored the ‘chimney sweep’ ads for years until my CO detector went off. Dominic’s team tested my flue, found a cracked liner, and replaced it in one visit. Now I burn with peace of mind, and my winter heating bills dropped 15%."
"Dominic Chimney rebuilt my crown after a winter storm cracked it. Their work held through last year’s Nor’easters, and the new cap keeps squirrels out. No more leaks, no more drafts—just a chimney that actually works."
"Their Level 2 inspection caught a blockage I didn’t know existed—turns out a bird’s nest was choking my flue. They cleaned it out, installed a cap, and gave me a detailed report for my insurance. Professional, thorough, and worth every penny."
"I’ve used three different sweeps in Boston, and Dominic’s team was the only one who explained why my chimney wasn’t drafting properly. They fixed the issue and showed me the before/after video. Can’t recommend them enough."
"Emergency service on a Sunday? No problem. They arrived within the hour, put out a small chimney fire, and gave me a safety checklist to prevent it from happening again. True professionals—Boston’s best."
Proudly serving Boston and these nearby communities.

Read more →Learn what a Boston level 2 chimney inspection entails under NFPA 211, when you need one, and what to expect from local costs and timelines.
Read more →A cracked liner in your North End chimney is a direct fire and carbon-monoxide hazard. Heat and gases can escape through the cracks, igniting nearby wood framing or seeping into your home. We recommend immediate repair to restore the liner’s integrity and prevent toxic fumes from entering living spaces.
That persistent campfire smell in your Beacon Hill home usually means creosote or soot has absorbed moisture and is releasing odors into your living space. It’s a sign your chimney needs cleaning and possibly a waterproof sealant to block future moisture intrusion.
Check for rust, cracks, or a missing mesh screen on your South Boston chimney cap. A failing cap lets rain, debris, and even animals into your flue, creating blockages that trap carbon monoxide. We inspect caps during every sweep to ensure they’re intact.
A weak draft in your Back Bay chimney forces smoke and carbon monoxide back into your home instead of up the flue. This can cause headaches, nausea, or worse—especially in tightly sealed, historic homes where airflow is already limited.
No. A leaking Jamaica Plain chimney points to cracked masonry, a damaged crown, or a compromised flashing. Water seepage accelerates deterioration and can corrode the flue liner, leading to dangerous gas leaks. We seal leaks with high-temperature mortar and install cricket flashing to divert water.
A yellow-tipped pilot light in your Fenway kitchen indicates incomplete combustion, which produces carbon monoxide. This is a clear warning sign your chimney may be obstructed or your burner needs servicing. We recommend an immediate inspection to rule out dangerous gas buildup.
A whistling chimney in Brookline usually means a blockage or a damaged damper that’s vibrating in the wind. This can disrupt draft, push smoke into your home, and even extinguish pilot lights. We diagnose the cause and restore proper airflow.
Schedule a re-inspection in Cambridge within 30 days if you’ve had recent masonry repairs or a liner replacement. Even after a thorough cleaning, shifting temperatures or settling foundations can create new gaps that compromise safety.
