Tiverton’s Trusted Chimney Sweep for Smarter Homeowners

Off-season pricing drops because demand falls, but many sweeps inflate rates to cover slow months. Ember Field keeps costs steady year-round—no winter panic pricing—so you won’t pay extra for a chimney cleaning just because a Nor’easter is coming.

Absolutely. A cracked liner lets heat escape up the flue instead of warming your home, forcing your furnace to work overtime. We’ve seen East Bay homes lose up to 30% efficiency from this hidden flaw—fixing it pays for itself in months.

Assuming all sweeps do the same job. Many skip the inspection or use cheap brushes that leave creosote behind. Ember Field includes a Level 2 inspection with every sweep—no exceptions—so you know exactly what’s happening inside your flue.

Yes. Most policies require proof of regular maintenance, and water intrusion—from a leaky cap or cracked crown—is a red flag. We seal flues properly to keep moisture out, protecting both your chimney and your wallet.

Check for soot buildup on the damper or a strong campfire smell in your living room. If you see either, call us before the first frost—waiting risks a clogged flue when you need heat most.

Some do. Ember Field only suggests fixes backed by evidence—like a cracked liner or crumbling mortar—never upsells based on guesswork. We’ll show you photos and explain why it matters before you commit.

Hiring a sweep who bundles ‘free’ inspections with vague follow-ups. We charge flat rates for clear services, so you won’t get stuck paying for a ‘premium’ package you don’t need.

The odor comes from creosote trapped in the flue or a cold chimney drawing in outside air. Ember Field uses specialized brushes and vacuums to remove every trace, leaving your home smelling fresh—not like a Boy Scout jamboree.
