Burning wood deposits creosote — a flammable, tar-like substance — on your flue liner with every fire. Over time, that buildup becomes a serious fire hazard. Matt's Brothers Chimney performs thorough, professional sweeps using industry-grade rotary brushes and HEPA-filtered vacuums, ensuring no soot or debris enters your living space. We assess buildup levels, note any structural concerns, and leave your system ready for peak use. Scheduling your sweep in late summer or early fall puts you ahead of the North Shore rush, guarantees your fireplace is operational for the first cold night, and gives you time to address any repairs before demand spikes. One appointment can make an entire heating season safer.

A Level 1 visual check suits well-maintained systems used season after season. A Level 2 — required after any chimney sale, change in fuel type, or weather event — includes video scanning of the entire flue interior. A Level 3 applies when hidden structural damage is suspected and may involve targeted access work. Danvers homes, particularly older colonials and Victorians with original masonry, benefit enormously from thorough inspections that catch liner cracks, deteriorated mortar joints, and blockages before they become emergencies. We provide a written report with every inspection so you have documentation for insurance or real-estate purposes.

When liners crack, spall, or deteriorate — common in Danvers-area homes built before modern standards — carbon monoxide can migrate into living spaces and fire risk increases substantially. Matt's Brothers installs stainless-steel flexible liners and HeatShield resurfacing systems to restore full protection. We size each liner precisely for your appliance's BTU output, whether you're running a wood-burning fireplace, a gas insert, or an oil furnace. Every installation meets Massachusetts building code and manufacturer specs. We pull permits where required and provide documentation of completed work, giving you full peace of mind and a verifiable record for future buyers or your insurance carrier.

A deteriorating crown — the concrete or mortar slab that seals the top of your chimney stack — channels water directly into the masonry, accelerating freeze-thaw damage that worsens every Massachusetts winter. A stuck or missing damper forces conditioned air out of your home and cold Danvers drafts in. Matt's Brothers inspects, repairs, and replaces all three components as part of our seasonal-prep approach. We stock stainless steel and copper caps sized for standard and custom flues, pour and finish new chimney crowns, and install top-sealing dampers that outperform traditional throat dampers in energy efficiency. These are affordable fixes that prevent thousands in masonry repair down the road.
Request this service →Mortar joints are the most vulnerable part of any masonry chimney. Years of North Shore freeze-thaw cycles, salt air from the coast, and temperature swings erode mortar faster than brick, leaving gaps where water infiltrates and accelerates spalling. Matt's Brothers' tuckpointing technicians remove deteriorated mortar to the proper depth and pack in fresh, correctly-mixed mortar that matches your chimney's original profile. We also repair cracked or spalled bricks, rebuild deteriorated crowns, and repoint full chimney stacks when necessary. Addressing masonry damage in late summer or early fall — before the ground freezes and scaffold work becomes impractical — is the smartest timing decision you can make. We offer free on-site estimates and honest assessments of what genuinely needs repair versus what can wait another season.

Lint accumulates in the ductwork run every cycle, restricts airflow, forces the dryer to overheat, and creates a direct fire path to combustible framing. The U.S. Fire Administration identifies dryer vent blockages as one of the top residential fire causes. Matt's Brothers cleans dryer vents using flexible brush systems and high-powered vacuums, removing full lint blockages whether your duct runs 6 feet or 30. We also inspect for crushed flex duct, improper terminations, and bird nests at the exterior cap. Most cleanings take under an hour. We recommend annual cleaning — pair it with your chimney sweep for a convenient single-visit seasonal safety check.
