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.

Fast, Local Chimney Cleaning & Sweep
Attleboro sits at the edge of two states, and the chimneys here reflect that mixed history – colonial-era flues in the older neighborhoods near Park Street, mid-century prefab systems out toward Route 1, and everything in between. We’ve worked on them all. When you call Hearthstone, you’re not routed to a dispatch center in another state. You reach someone who can look at a calendar and get you on it.
For standard chimney cleaning and sweep appointments, we’re typically scheduling within a few days. If your situation is more urgent – visible cracks, a strong smoke odor inside the house, or a fireplace that started behaving differently since your last use – call us directly and explain what you’re seeing. We do our best to move urgent situations forward. Most visits wrap up the same day: cleaning, a Level-2 camera inspection with photos you can see, and a plain-English verdict on what we found and what, if anything, needs attention.
We don’t believe in booking a sweep and then sending a separate crew back for the inspection. One visit, one crew, one clear answer.

What We Do on a Chimney Cleaning Visit
A sweep isn’t just brushing soot down and calling it done. When our technician arrives at your Attleboro home, the visit follows a clear sequence – no rushing through, no skipped steps.
Before the brush ever goes in
We take a look at the exterior first: the cap, the crown, the flashing, the visible masonry. Attleboro winters can be hard on mortar joints, and we’d rather catch a spalling brick or a cracked crown on the way in than discover it with the camera and have to come back for a second conversation.
The cleaning itself
We use professional-grade rods and brushes sized to your flue, and we contain the mess at the firebox with a drop cloth and negative-pressure setup before we start. Creosote Removal – first-degree, second-degree, and in stubborn cases third-degree buildup – is handled with the right tools for the grade we find. We don’t substitute materials. When a job calls for products from Copperfield or HeatShield, that’s what goes in.
The Level-2 camera inspection
After cleaning, the camera goes up the flue and you get to see what it sees. Cracks in the liner, gaps in mortar joints, deteriorating tile sections – these are the things that a visual inspection from the firebox opening can miss entirely. The photos stay with your job file. The verdict is plain English: here’s what we found, here’s what it means for your family’s safety, here’s what we recommend and what it would cost. No upsell pressure, no vague language designed to create anxiety.
Before we leave
Every job closes with upfront paperwork. The number we quoted is the number on the invoice. The 90-Day Done Right Promise covers the work in writing – if something isn’t right, we come back and make it right with no arguing and no paperwork maze.

Why Attleboro Homeowners Call Hearthstone First
Forty-two years is a long run for any home service company, and Russell Haines has spent those years building a business that plans to be in Attleboro for forty-two more. That’s not a marketing line – it’s the operating logic. A company that intends to still be here in 2065 doesn’t cut corners in 2025. It documents the work, backs it in writing, and answers the phone when you call back.
The customers who call us most often are homeowners who’ve been in their houses for twenty years or more. They’ve hired contractors who didn’t show up when they said, or who quoted one number and invoiced another, or who gave a vague verbal report that left them with nothing on paper. Those experiences leave a mark. When someone from the Attleboro area calls Hearthstone, they get the opposite of that – a live person who listens, a technician who shows up in a uniform on the scheduled day, photos of the actual condition of their chimney, and a clear written record of what was done and what’s guaranteed.
We use professional-grade materials – DuraFlex liners, Gelco chimney caps, Olympia Chimney components, Famco venting products – because the right material lasts and the wrong one comes back to bite everyone. No builder-grade substitutes, no mystery sourcing.
A Note on Safety
Chimney cleaning looks straightforward from the outside, but a compromised flue is genuinely dangerous – creosote fires start fast and can spread to framing before a smoke detector registers anything. Cracked liner sections allow carbon monoxide to seep into living spaces at levels that are difficult to detect without a meter. These are not hypothetical risks. We see them in Attleboro homes regularly, usually in systems that haven’t been professionally inspected in more than five years.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual inspection for chimneys in active use. For a wood-burning fireplace used regularly through a New England winter, that’s the right standard. We follow NFPA 211 guidelines on every Level 1 Inspection and beyond, and the Level-2 camera inspection is the tool that actually shows you what’s inside the flue – not a guess, not a best estimate from the firebox opening.
If you’ve noticed smoke smell in the house when the fireplace isn’t in use, dark staining around the firebox, or any visible cracks in the mortar or tiles, don’t light a fire before someone takes a look. Call us and describe what you’re seeing – it’s a quick conversation and it’s free.

What Our Customers Say
"Swept it, capped it, and fitted a proper damper. The downdraft smell we had lived with every summer is gone."
- Allison Doyle"The crown was cracked and taking water. He repaired it rather than quoting a rebuild, which the previous company had pushed hard for."
- Rashad Jackson"Creosote buildup was worse than I realized. He measured it, put a camera up to show me the glazing on the flue, and was honest that we were closer to a chimney fire than I wanted to hear."
