Our chimney services cover every part of your system. Cleaning and inspection to prevent dangerous buildup. Repair work for crowns, caps, flashing, and masonry. New liner installation when yours is damaged or missing.
We also handle tuckpointing to restore your chimney’s structural integrity. Emergency repairs when storms cause damage. Even complete rebuilds when necessary.
North Wantagh’s proximity to the water means salt air and moisture constantly attack your chimney. We use materials and techniques specifically chosen to withstand these local conditions. Your repairs last longer because we understand what works here.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections, and this is especially important in North Wantagh due to our coastal weather conditions. Salt air and moisture can accelerate deterioration of mortar joints and metal components.
If you use your fireplace regularly, you should have it cleaned after every 50-100 fires. Oil burner chimneys typically need cleaning every 2-3 years. Gas chimneys require annual inspection even if they don’t need cleaning as frequently.
Regular inspections catch small problems before they become expensive repairs. A cracked crown or damaged flashing might cost a few hundred dollars to fix now, but could lead to thousands in water damage if ignored.
Water damage is the biggest issue we see here. Long Island’s weather patterns cause frequent crown and flashing problems that let moisture into your chimney system. Once water gets in, it damages mortar joints, rusts metal components, and can even affect your home’s interior.
Creosote buildup is another major concern, especially in homes with wood-burning fireplaces. This highly flammable substance accumulates on chimney walls and can ignite, causing dangerous chimney fires.
We also frequently repair damaged liners. Many older homes have clay tile liners that crack over time, creating safety hazards. A damaged liner can allow dangerous gases to leak into your home instead of venting safely outside.
Repair costs vary widely based on what needs to be fixed. Minor repairs like sealing small cracks might cost $100-250. More significant work like crown repair or repointing typically runs $350-1,200.
Major repairs like liner replacement can range from $900-3,000 depending on your chimney’s height and the materials used. Complete rebuilds for severely damaged chimneys can cost $2,000-4,000 or more.
Long Island repair costs tend to be higher than national averages due to local labor costs and building code requirements. However, addressing problems early almost always costs less than waiting until major damage occurs. We provide honest estimates so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
This depends entirely on what type of damage exists and how severe it is. Minor cosmetic issues like small mortar cracks might not prevent safe use, but any structural damage or liner problems make fireplace use dangerous.
Never use a fireplace if you see white staining on the outside of your chimney, rust on the damper or firebox, or if you smell odors coming from the fireplace when it’s not in use. These are signs of serious problems that could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning or house fires.
When in doubt, don’t risk it. We can perform a safety inspection to determine whether your fireplace is safe to use. If repairs are needed, we’ll explain what must be fixed before you can safely enjoy your fireplace again.
Cleaning removes soot, creosote, and debris from your chimney’s interior. This is maintenance that prevents dangerous buildup and keeps your chimney functioning properly. We use specialized brushes and powerful vacuums to thoroughly clean all surfaces.
Inspection is a comprehensive examination of your entire chimney system. We check the structure, liner, crown, cap, flashing, and all components for damage or wear. Video cameras let us see inside areas that aren’t visible from the outside.
Most homeowners need both services. Even if your chimney looks fine from the ground, hidden problems inside could create serious safety hazards. A thorough inspection identifies issues before they become emergencies, and proper cleaning prevents the buildup that causes most chimney fires.
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency chimney services throughout North Wantagh. Storm damage, sudden leaks, or chimney fires require immediate attention to prevent further damage to your home.
Emergency situations we handle include damaged crowns or caps that let water pour into your home, fallen chimney sections after severe weather, and flashing failures that cause interior leaks. We can provide temporary solutions to protect your property while planning permanent repairs.
