Cambridge, MA
Dense, historic brick housing near Harvard and MIT means tight access and chimneys that are often older than the rest of the home's systems.
Cambridge's housing stock is some of the oldest we work on in Greater Boston — brick rowhouses and triple-deckers near Central and Inman Square, plus historic single-family homes closer to Harvard. Narrow lots and shared walls in some neighborhoods mean access can be tighter than in the suburbs, and many of these chimneys were built for systems that no longer exist, which makes a liner check especially important before heavy winter use.
Local Notes
Some Cambridge rowhouses share a chimney structure, which calls for more careful diagnosis than a standalone home.
Many Cambridge chimneys were originally built for coal or early oil heat and need a real check before today's wood or gas use.
