Eds & Sons Chimney provides chimney sweep services in Lowell, including chimney sweep & cleaning, chimney inspection, chimney repair & rebuilding, and more.

Creosote and soot accumulate every time you burn wood, and even a thin layer can ignite at temperatures that exceed 2,000°F. Our chimney sweep service removes all three stages of creosote buildup — from dusty soot to hard glazed deposits — using professional-grade rotary brushes, HEPA-filtered vacuums, and proven hand tools. We protect your home during the process and leave your fireside area spotless. For Lowell homeowners who burn through New England's long heating season, we typically recommend cleaning at least once per year, more often for high-frequency users. Early cleaning catches developing problems before they escalate, which is exactly how we help you avoid costly surprises down the road.
Request this service →Our inspections follow NFPA 211 standards and cover the firebox, damper, smoke chamber, flue liner, crown, cap, flashing, and exterior masonry. We offer Level 1 annual inspections, Level 2 inspections with video scanning for real estate transactions or after significant events like chimney fires, and Level 3 assessments for complex structural concerns. Every report we deliver is written in plain language with photographs, so you understand exactly what we found and why it matters. Catching a hairline crack in a flue tile today costs a fraction of what a failed liner costs after another Lowell winter. We never recommend repairs you don't need — our job is to give you the full picture so you can make informed decisions.
Request this service →Lowell's freeze-thaw cycle is relentless, and masonry that survives summer can crack, spall, and shift dramatically by March. Our repair services include tuckpointing deteriorating mortar joints, patching or replacing damaged chimney crowns, rebuilding crumbling brickwork, repairing or replacing dampers, and restoring smoke chambers. We use materials rated for high-heat and freeze-thaw exposure, not the generic masonry products that fail prematurely in Massachusetts winters. Small repairs done promptly protect the structural integrity of your entire chimney system, preventing water infiltration that accelerates further damage. Every repair comes with a written scope of work and a workmanship warranty, so you know exactly what you're paying for and what you're getting.
Request this service →A properly functioning flue liner is the single most important safety component in your chimney system. It contains combustion gases, prevents heat transfer to combustible framing, and channels carbon monoxide safely out of your home. Hairline cracks from thermal stress or a previous chimney fire can allow these gases to seep into living spaces undetected. We install stainless steel relining systems, cast-in-place liners, and HeatShield ceramic resurfacing for partially damaged clay tile liners. Every liner installation includes a final inspection and documentation. For older Lowell homes with original clay tile liners that have seen decades of service, a liner assessment is one of the most important preventive steps you can take before each heating season.
Request this service →Rain, snow, and ice are relentless adversaries for an unprotected chimney. A missing or deteriorating chimney cap invites moisture, nesting animals, and wind-driven debris directly into your flue, accelerating damage at every level below. A cracked chimney crown — the concrete or mortar slab at the chimney's top — allows water to seep behind brickwork, where it freezes, expands, and destroys masonry from the inside out. We fabricate and install custom stainless steel caps sized precisely to your flue opening, repair or rebuild damaged crowns using professional-grade elastomeric sealants and cast materials, and apply waterproofing treatments to exterior masonry. These services are among the most cost-effective preventive investments a Lowell homeowner can make before winter.
Request this service →The U.S. Fire Administration estimates that dryer vent fires cause thousands of house fires annually, and the primary culprit is simply a lint-clogged exhaust duct. Lint accumulates at every bend and transition in the vent run, restricting airflow and creating a combustible buildup that can ignite from normal dryer heat. Our technicians clean the full length of your dryer vent using flexible brush systems and powerful extraction equipment, removing all lint accumulation and verifying proper airflow and termination at the exterior. We also identify vent routing problems — like runs that are too long or have too many elbows — that make the problem worse over time. For Lowell homeowners, we recommend pairing dryer vent cleaning with your annual chimney service for complete home fire-safety maintenance.
