We’ve been serving Brookhaven and Long Island homeowners for over 22 years. We’re a family-owned, licensed, and insured company that understands exactly what coastal weather does to your chimney system.
We’ve seen every type of issue common to this area. From the brick deterioration that happens in coastal climates to the liner problems that develop in older Brookhaven homes. Salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy winter use create specific problems that require local expertise.
You’re working with professionals who live and work in your community, not some large corporation dispatching random teams from unknown locations.
First, we inspect your entire chimney system from top to bottom. That means checking the flue, damper, crown, cap, and exterior structure. We look for damage, blockages, creosote buildup, and anything else that could cause problems.
You get a clear explanation of what we find. No technical jargon or scare tactics – just straight information about what’s working, what isn’t, and what it means for your safety and wallet.
Then we handle the work efficiently and clean up completely. Whether it’s routine cleaning, flue repair, or liner replacement, you get professional results without the mess or hassle. After the work is done, you receive documentation of the service and any recommendations for future maintenance.

You get comprehensive chimney services under one roof. Spring inspections to catch problems early, thorough cleaning to remove dangerous creosote buildup, and maintenance to keep everything running smoothly through the cold months.
Our repair services cover everything from minor flue repairs to complete chimney rebuilding. Chimney cap installation protects against water damage and animal intrusion, while liner replacement ensures proper ventilation and safety.
Brookhaven’s coastal environment is tough on chimneys. Salt air accelerates deterioration, and the freeze-thaw cycles common here create unique stress on masonry and metal components. We understand these specific challenges your system faces and know how to address them properly.
Most Brookhaven homeowners need annual chimney cleaning if you use your fireplace regularly through the winter. If you burn wood frequently, annual cleaning removes the creosote buildup that creates fire hazards.
Light users might stretch it to every other year, but annual inspections are still smart because Long Island’s weather can cause problems even when you’re not using the fireplace much. Salt air and freeze-thaw cycles can damage your chimney regardless of usage.
The key is understanding your specific situation. Heavy users who burn more than a cord of wood per year might need cleaning twice annually, while gas fireplace owners need less frequent cleaning but still require annual inspection for proper ventilation and safety.
Yes, chimney liner replacement is one of our core services. Most Brookhaven homes built before 1980 have clay tile liners that crack over time, especially with our freeze-thaw cycles.
We install stainless steel liners that handle temperature changes better and last longer in our coastal climate. The process involves removing the old liner, sizing the new one properly for your appliance, and installing it with the right insulation and connections.
A properly installed liner improves draft, increases safety, and often improves your fireplace’s efficiency. We’ll explain your options and help you choose the right liner for your specific situation, whether you have a wood-burning fireplace, gas unit, or oil heating system.
Brookhaven’s coastal environment creates unique challenges that inland areas don’t face. Salt air accelerates deterioration of masonry and metal components, while freeze-thaw cycles common here create unique stress on your chimney system.
The humidity and coastal moisture can cause creosote to harden into glaze, which resists normal removal and increases fire risk. Water damage from storms and salt-laden air also happens faster here than in areas further from the coast.
We see these issues constantly and know exactly how to address the specific problems that come up in coastal Long Island homes. From the right materials that resist salt corrosion to understanding how local weather patterns affect your chimney’s performance.
Call for service right away if you notice white staining on the outside of your chimney, rust on the damper or firebox, or a strong odor coming from the fireplace. These are signs of moisture problems that can quickly get worse.
Smoke entering your room instead of going up the flue is another red flag that needs immediate attention. This could indicate blockages, damper problems, or structural issues that create dangerous conditions in your home.
Damaged chimney crowns, missing mortar, or animals or birds in the chimney also need professional attention before you use your fireplace again. These issues can lead to carbon monoxide problems, structural damage, or house fires if left untreated.
Professional chimney cleaning and inspection in Brookhaven typically costs between $200-400, depending on your chimney’s condition and accessibility. Simple cleanings for well-maintained chimneys cost less, while chimneys with heavy creosote buildup or accessibility challenges cost more.
We provide upfront pricing before starting work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. Repairs are quoted separately after inspection, and we’ll explain exactly what needs attention and why before doing any additional work.
Regular maintenance prevents costly emergency repairs that can run into thousands of dollars. The small investment in annual service saves you from major problems like structural damage, liner replacement, or emergency repairs during the worst weather.
Yes, we provide 24/7/365 emergency chimney services for situations that can’t wait. Whether it’s a damaged chimney cap letting water pour into your home, a blocked flue creating dangerous conditions, or storm damage that needs immediate attention.
Emergency situations get priority scheduling, and we’ll stabilize the problem to prevent further damage while planning the permanent repair. We understand that chimney problems don’t always happen at convenient times, especially during storms or heating season.
Our emergency service covers everything from temporary repairs to make your home safe, to complete assessments of storm damage. We respond quickly to protect your property and family safety, then work with you on the permanent solution that fits your situation and budget.
