"Called Lotus Chimney Co on a Friday after a chimney inspector flagged a major creosote buildup. They showed up Saturday morning, swept the flue, and sent me the inspection video the same day. No upselling, no drama—just a clean chimney and peace of mind."
"We’d had water leaking into our chimney for years, and every contractor we called wanted to rebuild the whole thing. Lotus diagnosed the crown crack, sealed it, and waterproofed it in under 3 hours. Fixed the problem for a fraction of the cost."
"First time using a chimney sweep, and I was nervous about the mess. These guys laid down drop cloths, worked efficiently, and left my living room cleaner than before they arrived. Highly recommend for Lowell homeowners who want no-nonsense service."
"After a chimney fire scare, I needed a thorough inspection fast. Lotus came the next day, ran the camera through the flue, and found a hidden crack in the liner. They explained the risk clearly and got it fixed before winter. Saved my home—and my sanity."
"We’ve used three different chimney sweeps over the years, and Lotus is the only one who showed up on time, did the job right, and didn’t try to sell us a new chimney. Professional, honest, and fair pricing."
"My fireplace had a weird smell after every fire, and I couldn’t figure out why. Turns out, the smoke chamber was packed with creosote. Lotus cleaned it out, and now my fireplace smells like a campfire—not a chemistry lab. Great service."

Read more →Sweep your chimney at least once per year if you burn wood regularly—Lowell’s damp springs and humid summers can accelerate creosote buildup even when you’re not using the fireplace. If you burned softwoods like pine all winter, schedule a mid-season sweep to prevent dangerous residue from coating your flue.
Yes—once we finish brushing out the flue and removing debris, your fireplace is safe to use immediately. We cap the chimney with a protective cover during the job, so ash and soot stay out of your living room until we’re done.
Creosote isn’t just messy—it’s a fire hazard that ignites at 451°F, and Lowell’s older chimneys with rough masonry trap it like kindling. A 1/8-inch layer doubles your chimney fire risk, and after ten years of wood burning, your flue could hide enough buildup to torch in minutes.
That campfire stench usually means trapped creosote or moisture in the flue—common in Lowell homes with masonry chimneys exposed to the Merrimack River’s humidity. A CSIA-certified sweep will inspect for cracks, missing mortar, or a clogged cleanout that’s letting odors seep into your walls.
Most Lowell triple-deckers take 60–90 minutes from arrival to cleanup. We set up drop cloths, run a high-powered vacuum, and leave your hearth area cleaner than we found it—no dust bunnies, no surprises.
A Level 1 inspection covers accessible flue areas and checks for obstructions or creosote—standard for routine sweeps. Level 2 adds a camera inspection of the entire system, required after a chimney fire, major renovation, or when selling your Lowell home.
Pine burns fast and hot, but it leaves sticky creosote that clings to your flue like glue—especially in Lowell’s humid climate. Stick to seasoned hardwoods like oak or maple to minimize residue and extend your chimney’s life.
Start with the chimney crown and flashing—cracked mortar or missing sealant around the flue lets water seep in, and Lowell’s freeze-thaw cycles turn minor leaks into major masonry damage. A quick visual check from the roof can save you thousands in repairs.
