Fast, Reliable Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Across Beverly
If your chimney hasn’t been swept since last heating season, creosote has been building up through every fire you burned. In Beverly, where salt air from Salem Sound speeds up mortar damage and older flues were built for coal rather than modern appliances, that buildup isn’t just a maintenance item. It’s the reason chimneys catch fire every winter on the North Shore. Our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep team serves Beverly homeowners with same-day and next-day appointments available, and a live person answers our phones at (844) 803-1545 every hour of every day. We’ve been working on chimneys in this city since 1984, and we know what the coastal climate does to them.
Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Beverly’s Preferred Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Company
We’ve swept chimneys on Cabot Street, along the waterfront in Beverly Farms, and up in the hills off Hale Street for over four decades. That longevity means something in a city where contractors come and go. Homeowners here remember who showed up, who explained what they found, and who stood behind the work.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and carry out most jobs in a single visit. When you call (844) 803-1545, you reach a live person, not a voicemail tree or callback app. We document every inspection with photos you can see and a plain-English verdict, because a homeowner in a 1920s colonial on Bridge Street deserves to understand exactly what condition their chimney is in.
Our 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every job in Beverly. If it’s not right, we make it right, in writing, with no arguing and no paperwork chase. That’s the Keystone Standard we’ve operated by since Russell Haines founded this company.
Our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Services in Beverly
Level 1 Inspection
A Level 1 inspection is the baseline for any chimney that hasn’t changed and is being used as designed. For most Beverly homeowners in neighborhoods like Beverly Farms or along Lothrop Street, this means our technician examines the readily accessible portions of your chimney structure, flue, and connections, checking for obstructions, creosote buildup, and basic structural soundness. We finish with photos and a written verdict you can file with your homeowner’s insurance. A Level 1 inspection in Beverly typically runs $149-$199.
Level 2 Inspection
Level 2 is what you need when something has changed: a new appliance, a chimney fire, earthquake or storm damage, or a home sale. Given Beverly’s coastal exposure and the freeze-thaw-salt cycle that hits harder here than in Danvers or Middleton, we strongly recommend Level 2 inspections for any chimney within a half-mile of the water. Our camera inspection reaches the full length of the flue, documenting salt-driven spalling, mortar deterioration, and hidden cracking that a visual inspection misses. Level 2 inspections in Beverly range from $289-$389 depending on flue accessibility and number of flues.
Creosote Removal
Creosote condenses in three stages, and Beverly’s older, often oversized flues accelerate the problem. Those late-Victorian and early-20th-century multi-story homes, many built between the 1880s and 1930s, were designed for coal furnaces with hotter, faster drafts. Modern gas appliances and wood stoves run cooler, so smoke lingers longer and deposits more creosote on flue walls. We remove glazed creosote with professional-grade equipment, not hardware-store brushes that scratch flue tiles. Creosote removal in Beverly typically costs $189-$279 for a standard sweep, with heavy glazing requiring additional treatment at $89-$149.
Soot Removal & Fireplace Cleaning
Soot accumulation isn’t just cosmetic. In Beverly’s seasonal estates turned year-round homes, chimneys that sat dormant for decades often contain surprising depths of compacted soot and degraded creosote. Our fireplace cleaning includes the firebox, smoke chamber, and damper assembly, using vacuums with HEPA filtration to protect your home’s air quality. We also handle Fireplace Services in Beverly for homeowners needing repair or restoration beyond cleaning. Fireplace cleaning and soot removal in Beverly runs $169-$249.

Trusted Brands We Service in Beverly
We don’t use builder-grade substitutes. Our trucks carry professional-grade materials from DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Famco, so when we find a damaged liner or deteriorating crown during your sweep, we can address it without ordering parts and making you wait. For Beverly homeowners, that means most repairs are completed in the same visit as your cleaning. Copperfield caps and Gelco dampers stand up to the salt air that corrodes lesser hardware in two or three seasons. We’ve seen too many cheap caps from big-box stores fail within eighteen months on waterfront homes in Beverly Farms. We won’t install them.
Common Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Problems We See in Beverly Homes
- Salt-driven mortar spalling on waterfront properties. The marine air in Beverly Farms, Cove, and along the harbor accelerates mortar joint erosion far faster than inland North Shore communities. We inspect for this specifically, not just creosote, because the damage pattern is different and the repair timeline is shorter.
- Oversized flues in pre-1940 homes causing poor draft and rapid creosote buildup. Beverly’s housing stock of late-Victorian and early-20th-century multi-story homes features large multi-flue brick chimneys built for coal. Modern appliances can’t generate enough heat to establish proper draft, so smoke cools and condenses creosote at higher rates.
- Freeze-thaw damage from nor’easter-driven rain followed by hard freezes. Beverly’s coastal position exposes chimneys to wind-pushed rain that inland cities like Peabody simply don’t experience. Water penetrates mortar joints, freezes, expands, and cracks masonry. This cycle is more severe here and compresses the lifespan of unprotected crowns.
- Hidden creosote glazing in converted seasonal estates. The large 19th-century summer homes in Beverly Farms sat dormant for decades before year-round conversion. Owners assumed low use meant low risk, but intermittent fires at low temperatures produce glazed creosote that’s actually more flammable than the soot from regular use.

Yes, we sweep chimneys across all of Beverly, including ZIP code 01915 in its entirety. That means Beverly Farms, Beverly Cove, the neighborhoods off Hale Street and Bridge Street, and the downtown corridor around Cabot Street.

Yes, we provide emergency chimney service in Beverly for blocked flues, chimney fires, carbon monoxide concerns, and storm damage. A live person answers our phones 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and we’ll dispatch a technician for true emergencies.

Our base pricing is consistent across the North Shore, but Beverly’s coastal conditions can mean additional recommended services. Salt-driven mortar inspection, crown assessment, and hardware corrosion checks are more critical here than inland. Some Beverly homes, particularly the large multi-flue Victorians, require more time due to chimney size. The actual sweep price is comparable; the difference is in what an honest inspection should include for this specific climate.
Every job is covered by our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If anything related to our sweep or inspection isn’t right, we return and make it right, in writing, with no arguing and no paperwork burden on you. For repairs or relining work we identify during cleaning, that same guarantee extends to the full scope. We’ve honored this promise in Beverly for over 42 years, and we plan to be here to honor it for decades more.
