Why Martin Chimney Company

Built on Trust & Craftsmanship

Martin Chimney Company was founded in Scituate by a third-generation mason who refused to compromise on craftsmanship. Every flue we touch is brushed, vacuumed, and inspected with the same care a shipwright gives to a hull—no shortcuts, no dust left behind. We treat your chimney like a precision instrument because a single creosote buildup can turn a cozy Scituate evening into a costly disaster. Our crews arrive in uniform, haul their own drop cloths, and leave your hearth cleaner than we found it, guaranteed.

What Our Customers Say

★★★★★

"Martin Chimney Company swept our chimney off Driftway Road last month, and I was stunned by the difference. The crew wore booties, laid down runners, and left no dust. My fireplace drafts perfectly now, and the inspector even caught a hairline crack in the flue that could’ve caused a disaster. Worth every penny."

★★★★★

"After the last Nor’easter, my chimney cap was bent and my flue was blocked. Martin’s team came the next day, installed a new copper cap, and swept the flue. They explained how salt air had corroded the old mortar — something I never would’ve noticed. Professional, fast, and fair pricing."

"I inherited a 1920s fireplace in my Third Cliff home, and it was falling apart. Martin’s crew restored the masonry, cleaned the smoke chamber, and even waterproofed the chimney. It looks brand new, and I finally feel safe using it. Their warranty gave me peace of mind."

"My carbon monoxide alarm went off during a cold snap. Martin’s team came out the same day, inspected the chimney, and found a blocked flue from last year’s storm debris. They cleared it, tested the draft, and gave me a clean bill of health. I sleep better knowing they’re on call."

"I’ve used other sweeps in Scituate, but none match Martin’s attention to detail. They found a hidden creosote glaze in my flue that was reducing draft. The cleanup was immaculate — no dust, no mess. Their 5-year warranty is unmatched. I won’t go anywhere else."

"We bought a home off Gannet Road with an old chimney. Martin’s inspection revealed a cracked crown and water damage. They repaired it in a week, and now our fireplace is safe and beautiful. Their local knowledge of Scituate’s climate saved us from a costly rebuild."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

My Scituate fireplace smells like old campfire every time I light it—why is that happening and how do I fix it?

The musty odor comes from moisture trapped in your flue mixing with creosote, especially after Scituate’s damp winters. We’ll power-wash the flue, install a stainless-steel liner if needed, and apply a deodorizing sealant to stop the smell for good.

Why does my chimney in Scituate’s Humarock section get clogged with leaves so fast after every nor’easter?

Humarock’s proximity to the marsh means wind-driven debris piles up quickly in uncapped flues. We install custom mesh caps and perform seasonal cleanouts to keep your chimney clear and safe year-round.

I’m selling my Scituate home—what kind of chimney inspection do I need to pass the buyer’s home inspector?

A Level 2 inspection is required for home sales in Massachusetts, which includes a video scan of the entire flue. We’ll provide a full report with photos so your sale closes without delays.

My Scituate chimney has white stains running down the brick—is that just efflorescence or something worse?

White streaks are usually efflorescence from salt migration, but persistent stains can signal water intrusion through a cracked crown. We’ll diagnose the source and recommend repairs to protect your masonry.

Can I still use my Scituate fireplace after a chimney sweeping, or do I need to wait for the dust to settle?

You can light your fire immediately—our HEPA vacuums capture 99.9% of soot, so there’s no lingering dust to worry about. We even leave the ash in your firebox tidy for your next use.

My Scituate chimney hasn’t been swept in 10 years—what’s the worst that could happen if I delay another season?

A decade of creosote buildup is a serious fire hazard, especially in Scituate’s older homes. We’ve seen flues so clogged they ignite during routine use—don’t gamble with your family’s safety.

Why does my Scituate chimney leak water every time it rains, even though the roof looks fine?

A leaky chimney is rarely the roof’s fault—it’s usually a cracked crown, deteriorated flashing, or a missing chimney cap. We’ll pinpoint the exact leak and repair it with marine-grade sealants to withstand coastal storms.

How do I know if my Scituate chimney needs a liner, and what kind do you recommend for salt-air exposure?

If your flue has cracks, excessive creosote, or is unlined, a stainless-steel liner is the gold standard for coastal homes. We install 316-grade liners that resist corrosion from Scituate’s salty air.
