A proper chimney sweep isn't just brushing soot off walls. We remove all levels of creosote (stages one, two, and the dangerous glazed stage three), clear ash and blockages, and inspect the flue lining as we go. Our rotary-brush systems paired with HEPA-filtered vacuums mean your Easthampton living room stays clean while we work. We document what we find with written notes you keep — no mystery report that disappears after we leave. Recommended annually for active wood-burners and at minimum every two years for occasional users. Pricing is flat-rate and quoted upfront before a single brush touches your flue. No surprises on the invoice.

Level II is mandatory when you buy or sell a home, switch fuel types, or after any significant event like a chimney fire or severe storm. Level III involves opening walls or removing components when hidden damage is suspected. David Chimney performs all three in Easthampton and documents findings with photos you receive the same day. We don't recommend a Level II or III unless the evidence clearly calls for it — a habit that saves our customers money and earns long-term trust. Written reports included at every level.
Request this service →Many Easthampton homes were built before stainless-steel liner requirements existed. Clay tile liners crack from thermal cycling, and once cracked, carbon monoxide and heat can migrate into framing. We install flexible stainless-steel liners (316-alloy for gas, 304 for wood), rigid stainless systems, and HeatShield ceramic resurfacing for partially damaged clay liners. Every liner job is sized properly for your appliance's BTU output — an undersized liner causes backdraft; oversized causes excessive creosote. We pull the necessary permits in Hampshire County, and all liner installations carry a written workmanship warranty. Easthampton's older housing stock makes liner evaluation a priority on every inspection we conduct here.

A cracked crown — the concrete slab at the chimney's top — allows freeze-thaw water infiltration that will eventually collapse the masonry below it. A stuck or warped damper wastes energy every single heating season by letting conditioned air escape. David Chimney replaces and repairs all three components, using stainless and copper caps built for Pioneer Valley winters, CrownCoat polymer sealants for crown repairs, and modern top-sealing dampers that outperform throat dampers in energy efficiency. We stock common cap sizes for same-visit installation — no waiting a week for parts on most standard Easthampton flues.
Request this service →Easthampton's freeze-thaw cycle — typically 40-plus frost events per winter — is brutal on exterior masonry. Water enters micro-cracks, freezes, expands, and widens those cracks season after season. Left unchecked, tuck-pointing becomes full rebuild. We perform targeted mortar joint repointing, spalling brick replacement, and full chimney rebuilds above the roofline when warranted. After structural repairs are complete, we apply vapor-permeable waterproofing sealant — not paint or silicone, which traps moisture and accelerates deterioration. Every masonry repair quote is itemized so you know exactly what you're paying for. We photograph before and after so the results are documented, not just promised.
Request this service →Dryer vent cleaning is often lumped in as an afterthought, but the CPSC reports dryer fires cause over 15,000 residential fires annually in the U.S. Lint accumulation in long duct runs — common in Easthampton's Cape Cods and colonial-style homes where the laundry room sits far from an exterior wall — creates the ideal fuel for a sustained fire. We clean the full run from dryer connection to exterior termination, remove bird nests from exterior hoods, and check for crushed flexible duct sections that trap lint regardless of cleaning frequency. We also verify your vent terminates correctly per code. Add dryer vent cleaning to your chimney appointment and save on the combined service call.
