Prevent Dangerous Chimney Fires with Regular Chimney Sweeps


Do you light fires in your fireplace often during the cold months? Then creosote builds up inside your chimney without you ever seeing it. That black, sticky substance catches fire very easily. The National Fire Protection Association reports that thousands of house fires start this way every single year.
Bob’s Chimney stops that danger before it reaches your home. Our certified technicians come to your home with modern tools and years of hands-on practice. We clean every inch until your flue runs completely clear. Your fireplace will draw smoke up properly again after we finish.
You need a fireplace you can actually trust. Let us help you stay warm and safe all season long without worrying about chimney fires.

Our Expert Chimney Sweep Services in Melrose
We take care of every part of your chimney so you can enjoy a safer fireplace throughout the year. Our services keep your system running smoothly and your home safe from hidden hazards. Here is what we offer:

01
Chimney Flue Cleaning
The flue provides the pathway for smoke to escape from your home. We clean it thoroughly to prevent dangerous blockages and keep air flowing properly up and out.

02
Chimney Crown Repair
The crown sits on top of your chimney and protects it from rain and snow. We fix cracks and damage to stop water from seeping into the chimney structure and causing freeze damage.

03
Chimney Cap Installation
A good cap keeps out rain, snow, animals, and fallen leaves. We install durable caps that protect your chimney all year long from the elements and from nesting animals.

04
Chimney Liner Services
The liner protects your home from intense heat and corrosive gases produced by burning fuel. We inspect, repair, and install new liners to restore safety to your system.

05
Chimney Damper Adjustment
A well-sealing damper keeps heated air from escaping your home when the fireplace is not in use. We repair and adjust dampers to improve your energy efficiency and lower your heating bills.
Our local team is prepared to solve any chimney-related issues. Call us now for expert chimney services in Melrose. We are ready to keep it safe, strong, and ready to warm your house.

Recommended Chimney Cleaning Schedule for Boxborough Residents
How often should you call Bob’s Chimney? Here is the simple answer based on industry standards and local conditions.
Annual Cleaning is Essential
The National Fire Protection Association says every chimney needs a professional inspection and cleaning at least once per year. This keeps your family safe.
Heavy Use Requires More Frequent Care
Do you burn fires four or five nights a week during Boxborough’s cold winters? Then schedule two cleanings per season. Some homeowners need cleaning after every 50 fires.
Before the Burning Season
The best time to schedule your cleaning is late summer or early fall. August through October gives you plenty of time before the first cold snap. This ensures your chimney stays safe and ready when you need it most.
New Homeowners
You just bought a house with a fireplace; Congratulations! Now get it inspected before you light that first fire. You have no idea what the previous owners left inside that flue.
Our Detailed Chimney Cleaning and Inspection Services in Boxborough
01
Advanced Creosote Removal
Glazed creosote sticks to your chimney walls like thick tar. Regular chimney brushes cannot touch this hardened buildup. We use special rotary tools that break down this stubborn gunk and pull it out safely.
02
Firebox and Damper Cleaning
Your firebox collects ash, leftover wood pieces, and other debris over time. Your damper gets stuck from rust and soot buildup. We clean both thoroughly so your damper seals tight and keeps warm air inside your home instead of sending it up the chimney.
03
Chimney Cap Repair & Animal Guard
Raccoons, birds, squirrels, and even bats love hiding in open, unprotected chimneys. We remove any nests or animals humanely and install sturdy caps that keep pests out for good.
04
Professional Chimney Inspections
We spot problems before they turn into expensive repairs. Our Level 1 inspection finds cracks, blockages, and early signs of wear. You get honest answers about what your chimney actually needs.
05
Chimney Leak Prevention
Rain and snow destroy chimneys slowly over many years. Water seeps into tiny cracks, freezes during Boxborough winters, and makes those cracks bigger each time. We apply waterproof sealant to your chimney’s exterior masonry to stop this damage.

What does chimney cleaning cost for a typical Boxborough home?
Every chimney differs. We look at your specific setup and give you a free quote before any work starts. The price depends on how dirty your flue has become and how easily our crew can reach it.
Will black dust and soot get all over my living room during cleaning?
No. We use industrial vacuums with HEPA filters that trap everything inside our equipment. We also lay down thick drop cloths around your entire fireplace area. Your room stays completely clean.
Do you work on gas fireplaces and gas inserts too?
Yes. Gas units burn much cleaner than wood, but they still need yearly inspections. Vents get blocked by birds or debris. Internal parts wear out over time. We check everything for your safety.
