If your fireplace smokes, your chimney leaks after a storm or your dryer takes two cycles to finish a load, a technician can come out and look. Newington is a municipality in Connecticut's Capitol Planning Region, about 6 miles from Hartford, with a 2025 Census population estimate of 31,647. We cover it the same way we cover Hartford itself.

Newington chimney cleaning
Most calls from Newington homeowners start with cleaning. Our sweep for homes in Newington covers chimney and flue cleaning, creosote removal and clearing blockages. It also covers removing animals and nests, and treating chimney odors. Fireplace cleaning, insert cleaning and wood stove cleaning are part of the same visit when you need them. If you use your fireplace regularly, our annual chimney cleaning service keeps buildup from getting ahead of you.
Propane (LP) and gas fireplaces
Propane and natural gas units don't build up creosote the way wood does. Their vents can still be blocked by nests or debris, and burners, pilots and glass need attention over time. We handle gas fireplace service and maintenance and gas fireplace repair. We also do gas log installation, gas line installation and installing new gas fireplaces.
Chimney inspection in Newington
Our chimney inspection services in Newington cover wood-burning, gas and propane systems. Choose the type that fits your situation:
- Chimney and fireplace inspection for a general condition check
- Chimney camera inspection to see inside the flue where you can't look directly
- Fireplace inspection for the firebox, damper, doors and gas components
- Real estate chimney inspection when you are buying or selling a home
- Storm damage chimney inspection after high winds, fallen limbs or roof damage
Chimney repair: Leaks, tuckpointing and masonry
Water is usually the problem behind chimney repair calls. We fix chimney leaks, flashing, crowns and caps, and we apply waterproofing. On brick chimneys we do tuckpointing, masonry repair and full rebuilds when a chimney is too far gone. Our brick chimney repair page explains the masonry side in more detail. We also install and repair liners, repair dampers, and fix prefab chimneys, chases and chase covers.
Signs it's time to call
- Water stains on the ceiling or wall near the chimney
- Crumbling mortar joints or loose bricks
- A cracked crown or a missing or rusted cap
- Smoke drifting into the room instead of up the flue
- Strong odors from the fireplace, especially in humid weather
- Sounds of animals in the chimney
Brick fireplace repair and installation services
For an existing fireplace, our fireplace repair in Newington covers firebox repair, draft problems and refractory panel replacement. It also covers glass and door repair and full restoration of wood-burning fireplaces. For new work, we handle fireplace installation, insert installation, fireplace door installation, conversions and prefab fireplace replacement. Our brick chimney installation page covers new masonry chimneys.
Fireplace smoke chamber repair
The smoke chamber is the sloped area above the damper that funnels smoke into the flue. If its walls are rough, stepped or cracked, smoke can roll back into the room and creosote can collect. Smoke chamber repair smooths and seals that area so the fireplace drafts properly.
Smoke in the room is a stop sign
If smoke keeps entering the room, stop using the fireplace until it has been checked. Emergency calls are accepted 24 hours a day, Sunday through Friday.
Commercial and rental properties
If you run a business or manage buildings in Newington, ask about our commercial chimney services and dryer vent cleaning for rentals and property managers. Describe the building and the system when you call, and we'll tell you whether it's work we can take on.
Dryer vent cleaning in Newington
A clogged dryer vent makes drying slow and lets lint build up where heat can reach it. We offer dryer vent cleaning, inspection and airflow testing, lint and blockage removal, and roof dryer vent cleaning. We also repair, replace and reroute vents and replace vent covers.
Nearby areas we serve
Besides Newington, we work in nearby towns, including New Britain, West Hartford, Rocky Hill and Hartford itself. If you're closer to the river, see our service in Wethersfield.
