Call (844) 803-1545

We’ve been driving to Medway since 1984, long enough to remember when the subdivisions off Main Street were still new construction. Our technicians know the difference between a genuine masonry chimney in one of the village-center colonials and a wood-framed chase wrapped in brick veneer out by the Holliston line. That distinction matters because the cleaning approach, the inspection protocol, and the likely problems are entirely different. When you call (844) 803-1545, a live person answers, 24 hours a day. We’ll give you a real arrival window, and we’ll be there when we say.

Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Medway’s Preferred Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Company

Medway’s housing story is unusual for Norfolk County. While neighbors like Franklin and Norfolk grew around older masonry stock, Medway’s primary residential build-out happened in the 1970s through the 1990s. Builders filled the town with prefabricated fireplace systems, brands like Heatilator, Majestic, and Superior, that are now hitting or exceeding their rated 20-30-year service life. Our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep team has handled enough of these units to recognize the patterns: rusted galvanized chase covers, deteriorating metal fireboxes, cracked refractory panels. This isn’t theoretical knowledge. We’ve worked the same streets, the same subdivisions, the same product lines.

If it needs attention, we’ll show you exactly where and explain why. Every job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, we come back. No paperwork, no arguing.

Calls are answered by a live person every hour of every day. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians complete most jobs in a single visit, with no-hassle upfront pricing. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice. We’ve been serving local communities for over 42 years, and we plan to be here in thirty more. That changes how you treat every customer.

Our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Services in Medway

Level 1 Inspection

A Level 1 inspection is the standard annual service for chimneys that haven’t changed and are performing normally. In Medway, this applies most often to homeowners in the original village-center colonials along Main Street, where the multi-flue brick chimneys have been in continuous use without alteration. Our technician examines readily accessible portions of the chimney exterior, interior, and connecting appliance. We check for basic soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances. A typical Level 1 inspection in Medway runs $189-$249 and takes about 45 minutes. If we find concerns that warrant deeper investigation, we’ll explain why and discuss a Level 2 inspection before proceeding.

Level 2 Inspection

Level 2 is required when a property changes hands, after a chimney fire or weather event, or when you’re modifying your system. In Medway, we perform more Level 2 inspections than many neighboring towns because of the town’s prefabricated fireplace stock. What looks like routine maintenance often reveals hidden deterioration in metal fireboxes or chase covers that a surface examination misses. Our Level 2 includes a video scan of the interior flue, examination of accessible attics and crawl spaces, and documentation with photos you receive. This service typically runs $289-$349 in Medway. For homes near the Charles River lowlands, where ground moisture accelerates masonry damage, we pay particular attention to the chimney base and any signs of efflorescence or spalling.

Creosote Removal

Creosote buildup is the leading cause of chimney fires nationwide, and Medway is no exception. The town’s cold winters and the frequent use of prefabricated wood-burning units create ideal conditions for glazed creosote accumulation, especially when homeowners burn unseasoned wood or restrict airflow to extend burn times. We remove creosote using professional-grade brushes, whips, and chemical treatments appropriate to the stage of buildup. Stage 3 glazed creosote, common in systems that haven’t been serviced in several years, requires more intensive treatment. Most creosote removal in Medway falls between $219-$319 depending on severity and system type. We also inspect for the underlying combustion issues that caused the buildup, because cleaning without addressing the cause means you’ll face the same problem next season.

Soot Removal and Fireplace Cleaning

Soot removal addresses the residue that coats firebox walls, smoke shelves, and surrounding hearth areas. In Medway’s 1980s subdivisions, we regularly find that soot has migrated beyond the firebox into the chase cavity, staining walls or creating odors during humid summer months. Our fireplace cleaning service removes soot from all accessible surfaces, checks for proper draft and ventilation, and leaves the unit ready for safe operation. This service typically runs $199-$279. For homeowners in the split-levels and ranches near Oakland Street and Village Street, where fireplace systems often share walls with living spaces, thorough soot removal also improves indoor air quality.

Trusted Brands We Service in Medway

We work exclusively with professional-grade materials from industry-trusted manufacturers. For Medway’s aging prefabricated systems, we stock and install replacement components from Olympia Chimney and Famco, including chase covers, termination caps, and connector pipes sized to the Heatilator, Majestic, and Superior units common in local homes. When refractory panel replacement or firebox restoration is needed, we specify HeatShield products engineered for factory-built fireplace repair. We don’t substitute builder-grade materials to save a few dollars. The parts we install are the parts we’d want in our own homes. That approach means fewer callbacks, longer service life, and a job done right the first time.

Common Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Problems We See in Medway Homes

• Rusted-through galvanized chase covers on 1980s prefab systems. Technicians working Medway’s subdivisions off Main Street and Oakland Street repeatedly find chase covers that have deteriorated to open holes, allowing direct water infiltration into the chase cavity. This shows up in neighborhood-wide clusters because the same builders used the same product lines across multiple streets.
• Cracked refractory panels in factory-built fireboxes exceeding 25 years of age. The prefabricated systems installed during Medway’s 1970s-1990s build-out are now at or beyond their rated service life. Panel cracks expose surrounding combustibles to direct flame contact and require immediate attention before further use.
• Freeze-thaw damage to older masonry in village-center homes. Medway’s 35-45 annual freeze-thaw cycles relentlessly open mortar joints on exposed brick chimneys, particularly along Main Street where 19th-century colonials often have abandoned oil-furnace flues that were never properly lined or capped after the regional conversion to natural gas.
• Efflorescence and spalling at chimney bases in river-adjacent lowlands. Seasonal ground moisture in sections near the Charles River watershed wicks into chimney foundations, leaving white mineral deposits and causing surface flaking that worsens with each winter if not addressed.
