"Martin Chimney Company swept our chimney last fall, and I was stunned by how thorough they were. They found a hairline crack in the flue that I’d missed for years and fixed it on the spot. The cleanup was immaculate—no dust in the house, and they even wiped down the hearth. Highly recommend."
"After a Nor’easter knocked a brick loose on my chimney, I called Martin. They had a crew out within hours, repointed the mortar, and waterproofed the whole stack. The price was fair, and the work looks like it’s been there forever. These guys are true craftsmen."
"I’ve used three different chimney sweeps over the years, and Martin is the only one who left my home cleaner than they found it. They even took photos of the creosote buildup and explained why my draft was weak. No other company does that."
"We had a stubborn squirrel nest in our flue that kept coming back. Martin installed a custom cap with a one-way valve, and we haven’t seen a critter since. The doors they put on our fireplace also cut our heating bills by 15%. Worth every penny."
"My 1850s home’s chimney was a mess—mortar crumbling, flue cracked. Martin’s team repointed it, lined it, and waterproofed it. They even matched the historic mortar color. Now it looks like it did when the house was built, and I’m not worried about leaks or drafts."
"We had a chimney fire scare last winter, and Martin came out immediately to inspect and clean. They found a thick layer of glaze creosote and removed it completely. The technician was patient, answered all our questions, and even sent a follow-up email with tips for safer burning. Truly professional."

Your chimney’s masonry absorbs coastal humidity like a sponge, and when moisture mixes with soot, it creates a musty odor that lingers long after the fire’s out. We seal the flue with a breathable waterproofing treatment and install a stainless-steel liner to block salt air intrusion, eliminating the stench permanently.
Wind creates negative pressure around your chimney’s opening, especially if the flue is dirty or the cap is damaged. We inspect for obstructions, adjust the draft with a custom cap, and ensure your liner is sized correctly for Scituate’s gusty coastal conditions.
Look for white efflorescence (salt stains) on the bricks or gaps wider than a credit card between joints—signs salt air has eroded the mortar. We perform a tuckpointing estimate on-site, using marine-grade mortar to resist corrosion and restore structural integrity.
Pine’s high sap content leaves sticky creosote that clings to flues faster than hardwoods. We recommend seasoned oak or maple for Scituate homes and can install a catalytic combustor to burn off excess residue before it coats your liner.
A rattling damper usually means the hinge is worn or the flue liner is misaligned. We tighten the mechanism, reinforce the liner with stainless steel, and install a draft-inducing cap to stabilize airflow during Scituate’s prevailing easterly winds.
Clear debris from the cap, check for cracks in the crown, and ensure the liner is secure—storm surges can loosen masonry. We perform a pre-season sweep and camera inspection to confirm your chimney can handle Scituate’s worst nor’easters.
Creosote buildup in older flues is the #1 cause of chimney fires. We remove every trace of residue, install a heat-resistant liner, and recommend annual inspections to catch hazards before they ignite—especially critical for Scituate’s older homes.
Those streaks are creosote stains from incomplete combustion, often caused by burning wet wood or closing the damper too soon. We scrub the masonry with a pH-neutral cleaner, seal the flue, and educate homeowners on proper burning techniques for Scituate’s damp climate.
