Chimney Sweeping
Reduce creosote, improve draft, and prevent chimney fires with a meticulous sweep and smoke‑path check.
Welcome to Glastonbury Chimney Experts—your neighborhood partner for clean, safe, and reliable fireplaces in Glastonbury, CT and nearby communities. Our certified technicians specialize in thorough chimney sweeping, detailed level I & II inspections, precision masonry repair, and protective cap & crown solutions. We combine old‑world craftsmanship with modern tools to solve draft issues, leaks, odor, smoke spillage, and efficiency loss without the guesswork.
Whether you enjoy a wood‑burning fireplace, a gas insert, or a freestanding stove, we help your system vent properly and meet NFPA 211 standards. From annual maintenance to complex rebuilds, we deliver transparent pricing, photo‑documented findings, and workmanship that’s built to last through New England winters.
Everything a Connecticut fireplace needs—done right the first time.
We’re a local team built around three promises: do the job safely, explain what we see, and stand behind our work. From the initial call to the final clean‑up, our process is simple and dependable.
We follow NFPA and CSIA best practices, use HEPA filtration to keep your home tidy, and document findings with high‑resolution photos. If we spot hazards—like stage 3 creosote, missing clay tiles, gaps in the liner, or crown cracks—we explain options clearly and give you written estimates.
No surprise fees. You’ll know the scope, price, and timeline before we start. We schedule around your day and offer seasonal maintenance plans that keep your system running smoothly at the lowest total cost of ownership.
Connecticut winters are tough on masonry. We use water‑repellent sealants, crown coatings, and stainless components that resist freeze‑thaw cycles, wind‑driven rain, and wildlife.
A routine sweep removes creosote—a combustible byproduct of wood burning—that can ignite at high temperatures. In a typical New England heating season, glazed (stage 3) creosote can build up quickly, especially with unseasoned wood or restricted airflow. We brush, vacuum, and verify a clear smoke path to reduce fire risk and improve efficiency.
Water is a chimney’s #1 enemy. Freeze‑thaw cycles widen tiny cracks into costly damage. A properly formed crown, intact flashing, and a rust‑proof cap protect your structure. We repair mortar joints with color‑matched tuckpointing, seal porous brick, and reline compromised flues to restore safe venting.
For property transfers or after a change in appliance, a Level II inspection is recommended. We perform a visual exam of accessible areas, run a video camera through the flue to check tiles, joints, offsets, and clearances, and then provide a written report with photos and repair recommendations if needed.
