We know chimney issues don’t wait for convenient times. That’s why we offer free, same-day estimates for all inspections and repairs. If you smell gas, hear strange noises from your chimney, or notice smoke backing up into your home, call us immediately. Our crews are on the road in Everett and nearby towns like Chelsea, Malden, and Revere within hours, not days. We prioritize emergency calls to prevent dangerous situations from escalating.
As a family-owned business serving Everett for over a decade, we know the unique challenges of local chimneys. Our sweeps understand how New England weather — from nor’easters to sudden thaws — affects masonry and flues. We’ve seen how salt air from nearby Boston Harbor accelerates corrosion and how freeze-thaw cycles crack older chimneys. This local expertise means we spot problems others miss and recommend solutions tailored to Everett’s climate.
We provide upfront pricing with no surprises. Our estimates include a detailed breakdown of labor, materials, and any recommended repairs, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. We never upsell unnecessary services, and we’ll explain why a recommendation is needed — not just what it costs. Whether it’s a simple cleaning or a full chimney rebuild, you’ll get an honest assessment and fair pricing every time.
Gideon Chimney LLC has been Everett’s trusted chimney and venting specialist since 2012, built on the simple idea that a clean flue is a safe flue year-round. We show up with the same gear and attitude whether it’s 90°F in July or 15°F in January, because chimneys don’t take vacations and neither do we. Our crew logs more miles in Everett than any other sweep in town, from Broadway to Ferry Way, so we know every roofline and wind tunnel that can turn a small soot layer into a big problem. We don’t just sweep; we translate what we find into plain English so you can decide before the first cold snap hits.
"Gideon Chimney came out the same day I called after noticing smoke backing up into my living room. They found a bird’s nest blocking the flue and a cracked liner I didn’t know about. Fixed it all in under two hours — and the price was fair. Highly recommend for Everett homeowners."
"We’ve used Gideon for years, and they always catch issues before they become disasters. Last winter, they spotted a hairline crack in our chimney crown during a routine cleaning. Fixed it before the freeze-thaw cycle could widen it. Their attention to detail saved us thousands."
"After a chimney fire scare last year, I switched to Gideon for all my inspections. Their crew is professional, thorough, and explains everything in plain English. They even showed me photos of the creosote buildup in my flue — scary stuff. Worth every penny."
"I was skeptical about paying for a chimney sweep when I hadn’t used my fireplace in years, but Gideon convinced me it was necessary. They found a rusted damper and a leaky flue liner that could’ve caused a CO leak. Their free estimate and honest advice made me a customer for life."
"Fast, friendly, and knowledgeable. They arrived on time, worked efficiently, and left my fireplace cleaner than I’ve ever seen it. The crew even swept up the soot from the hearth — something other sweeps never do. Gideon’s the only company I’ll trust for my Everett home."
"I called Gideon in a panic when my oil boiler started making a loud banging noise. They diagnosed a clogged flue and removed years of soot buildup in under an hour. Their emergency response saved my heating system from major damage. Can’t thank them enough."

For boilers, ensure the area around the flue is accessible. We’ll call you 30 minutes before arrival to confirm.

That tar odor is creosote off-gassing as the first cool Everett nights pull cool, moist river air up your flue. Summer humidity plus residual soot creates a perfect storm for smell before you even strike a match. A quick sweep and flue inspection now stops the odor before the first Nor’easter arrives.
A Level 1 is the standard visual check we do on every sweep visit—looking for obstructions and basic damage. A Level 2 adds a camera and is required if you’ve had a chimney fire, relined, or changed fuel type. Everett’s older triple-deckers often need Level 2 after decades of hidden soot buildup.
Yes. We run a 360° camera through the flue to spot hairline cracks that let heat escape into wooden framing or allow carbon monoxide to leak into living spaces. Catching a cracked liner in October beats discovering it during a January repair emergency.
Once the flue is clean and the draft is tested, you can light a fire immediately. We leave a draft gauge in your firebox so you can confirm proper draw before the first log goes in—no waiting, no guesswork.
Wet snow clogs the flue with slush, then refreezes overnight, creating a solid ice plug that blocks exhaust. The next warm-up can send smoke and carbon monoxide back into the house. A pre-storm sweep prevents the plug before the first flakes fall.
Summer heat bakes creosote into a hard glaze that shrinks when the first cool Everett nights arrive, leaving gaps that let downdrafts pull smoke into the room. A quick sweep removes the glaze so your chimney drafts correctly from the first fire onward.
Look for soot on the firebox floor, a whitish residue on the flue tiles, or a faint sulfur smell near the hearth. These are early creosote flakes or liner damage that can escalate into a chimney fire or CO leak before the first real cold snap hits Everett.
Everett’s salty river air speeds up metal corrosion and mortar erosion inside the flue. A yearly inspection catches rust on dampers and cracked joints before they let water into the masonry, which can shorten the chimney’s life by decades.
