Andrew & Sons Chimney provides chimney sweep services in Beverly, including annual chimney sweeping & creosote removal, level i, ii & iii chimney inspections, chimney crown & cap repair, and more. Every job is handled by licensed, insured technicians with upfront written pricing, and backed by a workmanship guarantee — free estimates for all of Beverly and nearby areas.
Beverly's long heating season — stretching from October well into April — means your flue accumulates creosote faster than homeowners in warmer climates. Our sweeping service removes all three stages of creosote buildup, loose debris, and nesting material using professional rotary brushes and HEPA-filtered vacuums that keep your living space spotless. We inspect the flue liner, smoke chamber, and firebox as we work, flagging anything that needs attention before it becomes expensive. Scheduling your sweep in late summer or early fall means you beat the rush, lock in your preferred appointment window, and start the heating season with confidence. We service wood-burning fireplaces, gas fireplaces, wood stoves, and pellet stove flues throughout Beverly and the North Shore.
Request this service →Not every chimney inspection is created equal, and Massachusetts insurance carriers and real-estate attorneys know the difference. Andrew & Sons performs all three NFPA 211 inspection levels. A Level I is your annual visual check — ideal for routine seasonal prep in Beverly homes with no recent changes. A Level II uses video camera scanning to reveal liner cracks, blockages, and deterioration invisible to the naked eye — required after any appliance change, sale, or chimney event. A Level III goes deeper when hidden damage is suspected. We provide a written report with photographs after every inspection, giving you clear documentation for insurance purposes, home sales, or simple peace of mind heading into another North Shore winter. Free estimates included.
Request this service →Sitting a mile from the Atlantic, Beverly chimneys face a double assault: coastal salt air that accelerates mortar erosion and relentless freeze-thaw cycles that crack masonry crowns every winter. A damaged crown is the single fastest path to interior water damage — water enters the crack, freezes, expands, and widens the gap until full rebuilding is required. Andrew & Sons inspects and repairs chimney crowns using elastomeric sealant for minor cracks and hydraulic cement with a fresh wash coat for moderate damage. Full crown rebuilds are available when the structure is beyond patching. We also fabricate and install stainless-steel chimney caps sized to your exact flue to block rain, animals, and downdrafts year-round. All crown and cap work carries a written workmanship warranty.
Request this service →The flue liner is your chimney's most critical safety component, containing combustion gases and guiding them safely out of your Beverly home. Clay tile liners common in older Cabot Street and Rantoul Street neighborhoods crack with age and thermal shock, allowing carbon monoxide and heat to reach combustible framing. Andrew & Sons installs HeatShield resurfacing for minor liner damage and cast-in-place liner systems for moderate deterioration. For complete replacement, we install flexible stainless-steel liner systems that meet current Massachusetts building codes and accommodate any fuel type — wood, gas, or oil. Every liner installation includes a post-installation inspection and documentation suitable for your insurance carrier or local building department. We pull all required permits and keep the process seamless for homeowners.
Request this service →The firebox takes more thermal abuse than any other part of your chimney system. In Beverly homes heated hard through six-month winters, mortar joints between firebrick deteriorate, bricks spall, and the smoke shelf can crack — turning what looks like a cosmetic problem into a genuine fire hazard. Andrew & Sons rebuilds fireboxes using refractory mortar and replacement firebrick matched to original dimensions. We also perform tuckpointing on exterior chimney masonry, addressing the mortar joint erosion that Beverly's coastal weather accelerates. Every masonry repair is sealed with a breathable waterproofing agent compatible with brick to lock out moisture without trapping vapor. We photograph the damage before and after every repair so you have a clear record of exactly what was done and why.
Request this service →Dryer vent cleaning is the seasonal prep task most Beverly homeowners overlook, yet the U.S. Fire Administration consistently cites lint-clogged dryer vents among the leading causes of residential fires. A vent that takes a long route through your home's wall system — common in the older triple-deckers and colonial homes around Beverly's historic districts — is especially prone to lint accumulation. Our technicians use high-powered rotary brushes and commercial-grade vacuums to clear the entire vent run from dryer connection to exterior termination. We also inspect the vent hood damper for blockage and correct any foil-flex sections that violate current fire codes. Scheduling dryer vent cleaning alongside your annual chimney sweep is the most efficient way to cover both fire-safety tasks in a single visit with one crew.
