Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

If your flue has Class II or Class III creosote buildup – that’s the glazed, tarlike deposit that forms when fires run cool and wet – we document the class in writing and explain exactly what it means before recommending any cleaning method.
Areas We Cover

Before
AfterWhat’s Actually Included When We Show Up
A lot of chimney companies advertise a “sweep” and show up with a brush and a shop vac. Here’s what a Level Two visit actually looks like, and why the difference matters.
Every cleaning includes a NFPA 211 Level 2 camera-scan inspection. That means a camera goes down the flue liner – the interior clay tile or stainless steel tube that contains combustion gases – and we document what we find with photos before and after. You walk away with that photo record. Under Clause 4 of the Haven Standard, documentation is not an optional add-on; it’s included on every job and has been since 2009.
We assess Creosote Removal class (Class I is the flaky, brushable deposit; Class II is crunchy and layered; Class III is the glazed tar that requires chemical treatment before mechanical removal), note any cracks in the liner, evaluate the smoke chamber for mortar deterioration, check the damper operation, and inspect the crown and cap condition from the top. Everything found is described in plain terms on the written report – not vague language, specific findings.
Materials, when needed, come from suppliers we know: DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield. These are procured through Haven’s buying network specifically to keep prices honest. If a repair is needed, you’ll see it priced in writing – itemized – before we schedule anything.
A Note on Safety
Chimney systems involve combustion gases, carbon monoxide pathways, and in some cases structural masonry at height. A cracked flue liner is not a cosmetic issue – it’s a direct path for combustion gases, including carbon monoxide, into your living space. We’ll always tell you exactly what we found, document it, and explain what it means. We do not recommend “wait and see” on Class III creosote or on liner cracks, because those are the specific conditions that precede chimney fires and CO exposure. That’s not urgency theatre – that’s what the documentation shows.

FAQs: Chimney Cleaning Near Me in Haverhill
How fast can you get to my house in Haverhill?
We can typically schedule same-day or next-day for most Haverhill addresses, depending on the season and current call volume. Fall is our busiest period – September through November – so scheduling a week or two out during that stretch is normal. The rest of the year, same-day is often possible if you call before noon. Reach us at (351) 444-9705 and a live person will give you a real availability window, not an estimate of an estimate.
Do you serve my area if I’m outside Haverhill?
Yes. Level Two Chimney Co. runs crews regularly into Methuen Town, Lawrence, Andover, Newburyport, Ipswich, Lowell, and Wilmington in addition to Haverhill. If your address is outside those areas, call us at (351) 444-9705 and we’ll tell you directly whether we can reach you and when. We don’t make you fill out a form to find out.
How much does chimney cleaning cost near Haverhill?
A standard sweep with Fireplace Cleaning and a Level 2 camera inspection in Haverhill runs $199 to $299 for most single-flue fireplaces. Class III creosote – the glazed, tarlike buildup that requires chemical treatment before mechanical removal – adds cost and will be documented and priced in writing before any work starts. Call (351) 444-9705 for an exact written quote; there’s no charge for the estimate and no obligation to book.
Can I reach someone after hours?
Yes. Calls to (351) 444-9705 are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – no voicemail, no answering service that takes a message for Monday. If you’ve got smoke backing up into your living space or a smell that has you concerned about CO, don’t wait until morning. Call us and we’ll tell you what to do next.
What’s the difference between a Level 1 and Level 2 inspection?
A Level 1 Inspection – the “flashlight look” most companies charge for – checks accessible portions of the chimney without a camera. A Level 2 inspection, as defined by NFPA 211, requires a camera scan of the full flue liner and is the standard required any time you buy or sell a home, change fuel types, or after any event that could have damaged the liner (chimney fire, earthquake, adjacent structure fire). Level Two Chimney Co. has included the Level 2 camera scan on every standard visit since 2009. It is not an upgrade; it is the default.
Is it cheaper to skip the inspection and just get the sweep?
A sweep without a camera scan tells you the flue is clean but not whether it’s sound. A cracked tile liner or a deteriorated smoke chamber doesn’t get cleaner with a brush – it stays a hazard. We price the sweep and Level 2 camera inspection together because separating them would mean handing you a clean chimney with an unknown structural condition. That’s not a service we offer. The written price you get from us covers both.
The Haven Standard: What You Get in Writing
Corrine Halstead built Level Two Chimney Co.’s service model around one idea: documentation is the service. The Haven Standard puts that into four operating clauses that apply to every job in Haverhill and every surrounding community we serve.
- Clause 1 – Have it in writing: a written price, written scope, and written warranty before work starts. Not after the tech is already in your home.
- Clause 2 – Arrive on schedule: a named tech assigned, a text when they’re on the way, and license information on the page before you ever open the door.
- Clause 3 – Verified crews: background-checked, uniformed technicians on every job.
- Clause 4 – Documented record: photos, camera footage, and written findings delivered to you when the job is done. Not optional. Standard on every visit since 2009.
And the 365-Day Done Right Promise sits over all of it: if something we did isn’t right within a year of the visit, we make it right. That’s stamped on every job, not a footnote in the fine print.
