Smoke backing up into the living room is what brought MHL out to one home in June 2026. That customer wrote that the visit covered a full chimney inspection, the removal of a significant creosote build-up, and the repair itself. A customer in May 2026 described the same order of events from the other end: the team picked up the problem during the inspection, and the work came in thorough, reasonably priced and carefully finished. MHL works out of Inner Belt Road in Somerville. Its written history is new and short — two reviews, both from spring 2026, behind a 5-star Google rating across three ratings. For a fireplace that is pushing smoke back into the room, or a flue nobody has swept in years, both customers describe the same call: inspect first, clear the creosote, repair what the inspection turns up. Ask what the inspection covers and whether the repair work carries a guarantee.
I scheduled a chimney cleaning and repair service after observing smoke backing up into our living room. In addition to doing a comprehensive chimney inspection, the expert also removed a significant amount of creosote accumulation, finished the chimney repair, increased fireplace safety, and restored adequate ventilation. Professional outcomes and outstanding service.
I heartily recommend MHL-Chimney Cleaning and Repair Service to anyone in need of expert chimney maintenance and repairs. Their service was comprehensive, reasonably priced, and finished with remarkable attention to detail. During the inspection, their team promptly identified the problem that was causing smoke to back up into my house, and once the cleaning and repairs were finished, my fireplace was operating flawlessly once more. Their chimney cleaning and repair service was meticulous, reasonably priced, and finished with great care. During the examination, their staff promptly identified the problem that I was worried about—smoke backing up into my house. My fireplace began operating well once the cleaning and repairs were finished.
