Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Chimney Company in Concord, NH
Concord chimneys take a beating. Between the long Merrimack Valley winters and a housing stock where 1890s brick stacks still stand beside 1990s prefab inserts, chimney repair here is less about cosmetics and more about keeping a working heating flue safe through a season that runs hard from October through April. We handle that full arc: we inspect, we identify the problem, and we fix it with professional-grade materials rather than handing you off to a second contractor. One crew, one call, from annual sweep to full liner restoration. Call (888) 804-9712 to set up a free estimate.
Why Concord Homes Are Different
Concord is a wood-heating city. A large share of homes still burn cordwood or pellets as a primary or backup heat source, which means many of the chimneys we open are not decorative fireplace flues but actively used heating chimneys carrying real creosote loads. That changes the work.
The housing stock splits along clear lines. The downtown core and West Concord hold 1890s to 1930s two- and three-story wood-frame and brick homes with original exterior masonry chimneys, many converted from coal to wood over the decades. Plenty of those are still unlined or single-wythe brick, originally built for coal furnaces and later tapped for wood stoves. The outer wards hold 1960s to 1990s colonials and capes with factory-built fireplaces and prefab metal flues that age out and need relining.
Climate does the rest. Concord runs roughly 4,000 heating degree days with long stretches below freezing, so freeze-thaw cycling works on exterior brick all winter, and shoulder-season cold-flue reverse draft is routine. Both show up as repair calls, not cleaning calls.

Our Main Concord Services
Concord homeowners call us most often about two things: a chimney that needs cleaning before the burn season, and a dryer vent that has quietly filled with lint behind the machine.
Chimney Sweep in Concord
An annual sweep is the baseline for any chimney you actually burn in. We sweep the flue, then run a camera inspection and hand you a photo report so you can see the inside of your own chimney rather than take our word for it. In Concord’s older downtown blocks, that inspection frequently turns up cracked flue tile or missing mortar joints on original brick. Nothing gets recommended without camera evidence you can look at yourself. Book your Chimney Sweep in Concord before burning season starts, and the sweep and the report happen in one visit.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Concord
Most homes here have two fire-risk flues, and the dryer vent is the one people forget. Lint accumulates through a heating season of steady laundry, and the long horizontal and elbow runs common in Concord’s older homes trap it faster than a straight vertical pipe would. We clean the full run and check the transition duct and exterior termination. We use Famco dryer vent products for any repair that surfaces, so you get purpose-built materials rather than an improvised patch. Schedule Dryer Vent Cleaning in Concord as part of the same service relationship.
Chimney Repair in Concord
Chimney repair in Concord usually starts with a flue that was built for one fuel and is now burning another. The downtown and West Concord masonry stacks we see were often coal furnaces first, then wood stoves, and many were never lined for wood in the first place. Add freeze-thaw cycling on exterior brick every winter and you get cracked crowns, failed flashing, and tile joints opening up. Our Chimney Repair work starts with camera evidence, so you know exactly what failed before anyone quotes a fix.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
You’re burning in an unlined or single-wythe brick flue, the camera shows cracked or missing clay tile, or you’ve had a prefab flue reach the end of its service life after decades of heating-season use.
What it costs in Concord
Liner work here typically runs from around $1,800 to $4,500 depending on flue height, liner type, and whether the existing flue needs prep first; the written estimate sets the final price.
How we do it
We measure and camera the flue, choose a liner system to match the appliance, then insulate and set the liner with a proper top plate and cap, and finish with a verification camera pass you can review.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
The flue is open to rain and snow, birds or squirrels have gotten in, or you’re fighting cold-flue reverse draft on shoulder-season mornings.
What it costs in Concord
A cap installed typically falls between about $200 and $550, with the figure driven by flue size and whether the cap is single-flue or multi-flue.
How we do it
We size the cap to the flue, mount it on a properly fitted base, and seal it so snowmelt runs off the crown rather than into the flue.

Does Concord require a permit for chimney repair?
Most structural chimney work needs a permit, and requirements vary by project, so ask Concord’s building department before work starts. We can tell you what the scope involves; the permit decision sits with the city, not with us.
Can a cracked crown or failed flashing wait until spring?
Sometimes it can. If the camera shows the flue itself is sound and water isn’t reaching the interior, a crown or flashing repair can usually wait. If water is tracking into the masonry or the flue, it can’t. Call (888) 804-9712 for a free estimate and we’ll tell you plainly which situation you’re in.
Brands We Service in Concord
We’re stocked and trained on professional-grade lines: DuraFlex flexible liner systems for older and complex flues where rigid liners won’t fit, HeatShield for liner restoration, plus Gelco and Copperfield components. Parts are stocked locally, so most repair jobs aren’t waiting on a special order. See our brands for the full picture.

What Concord Customers Say
"Creosote buildup was worse than I realized. He measured it, showed me the glazing on the flue with the camera, and was honest that we were closer to a chimney fire than I wanted to hear."
- Shane Walsh"Crown was cracked and taking water. Repaired it rather than quoting a rebuild, which the previous company had pushed hard for."
- Travis Rhodes"Level two inspection before we bought the house. The report was detailed enough to use as a negotiating point and he explained every photo in it."
- Ryan Ackerman
