Comprehensive chimney sweep for Andover homes and businesses.
Keep creosote and debris under control before they become hazards
Learn more →Andover’s four distinct seasons take a toll on chimneys. Freeze-thaw cycles expand cracks, humidity accelerates creosote buildup, and autumn leaves clog flues. Catching small issues now—like a minor mortar gap or early-stage creosote—prevents them from becoming emergencies. Routine care also ensures your chimney drafts properly, so smoke and carbon monoxide exit safely. Don’t wait for a problem to force an expensive repair.

At Arjun R. Chimney Co, we don’t just clean chimneys—we protect your home’s heart from silent threats. Andover’s historic homes and modern builds alike depend on chimneys that function flawlessly, yet most damage starts small: a crack here, a creosote buildup there, or a flue liner wearing thin over seasons of neglect. Our preventive approach catches these issues early, before they escalate into costly repairs or dangerous hazards, because we believe routine maintenance isn’t an expense—it’s an investment in safety and peace of mind. Whether your chimney’s 50 years old or newly installed, we treat it with the same meticulous care, using advanced tools and techniques to ensure every flue is as safe as the day it was built.
We start with a Level 1 visual inspection, checking for obstructions, cracks, and creosote levels. Using high-powered cameras and mirrors, we examine every inch of your flue, smoke chamber, and chimney crown. If we spot something suspicious, we’ll recommend a Level 2 or 3 inspection with advanced tools like thermal imaging.
Our sweeping process begins at the top, using rotary brushes and HEPA vacuums to remove creosote and debris. We work from the roof down, ensuring no soot is left behind. For stubborn buildup, we use specialized scrapers and chemical treatments to dissolve hardened creosote safely.
If we discover cracks, gaps, or water damage, we’ll explain your options clearly. Small repairs like repointing mortar or replacing a chimney cap are quick and affordable. For major issues, we provide a detailed plan with timelines and costs, so you can plan ahead.
After repairs, we apply our breathable waterproofing treatment to shield your chimney from Andover’s moisture. This final step locks in our work, preventing future water damage and extending your chimney’s lifespan by years.

Andover’s damp autumns also cause creosote to harden faster, so if your last sweep was over a year ago, schedule an inspection now.
That musty odor usually means moisture is trapped in the flue or masonry, often from a cracked crown or missing cap. Andover’s freeze-thaw cycles worsen these cracks, letting water seep in and feed mold growth. A waterproofing treatment and crown repair will solve it permanently.
Absolutely. Many Andover homes built pre-1980 have unlined chimneys or deteriorating mortar joints, which let heat escape and cold air in. We use thermal imaging to spot these issues early, preventing carbon monoxide leaks or structural failures.
For wood-burning fireplaces, sweep annually if you use it weekly; for gas or oil, every 2–3 years suffices. Andover’s humid winters accelerate creosote buildup, so err on the side of caution—your chimney’s health depends on it.
While a basic visual check is possible, hidden cracks or flue liner damage require a certified sweep with cameras. Andover’s strict building codes also mandate professional inspections for insurance purposes—skipping it could void coverage.
Ignoring small cracks in the crown or missing chimney caps. Andover’s winter storms drive rain and debris straight into unprotected flues, leading to costly water damage or even chimney fires. Prevention is always cheaper than repair.
High humidity causes bricks to absorb moisture, then freeze and expand in winter, cracking the masonry. We seal flues with water-repellent coatings and repair damaged joints to counteract Andover’s damp climate.
Don’t wait—call us immediately. Storms in Andover often dislodge caps or crack crowns, letting water pour into the flue. We’ll patch the damage and install a new cap to prevent future leaks.
