Complete chimney inspection covers everything from your chimney cap down to the damper. We check for structural damage, water leaks, and fire hazards that most homeowners never notice until it’s too late.
Thorough cleaning removes dangerous creosote buildup that causes thousands of house fires every year. We use professional-grade equipment to get your chimney completely clean and safe.
Here in Calverton, we see the same problems repeatedly: water damage from Long Island’s coastal weather, animal nests blocking flues, and deteriorating mortar from our freeze-thaw cycles. We know how to handle all of it because we’ve been doing this work in Suffolk County for over two decades.
Most Calverton homeowners need chimney cleaning once a year, but it depends on how much you use your fireplace. If you burn wood regularly during Long Island’s cold months, annual cleaning is essential to remove dangerous creosote buildup.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual inspections for all chimneys, regardless of use. Even if you didn’t use your fireplace last winter, animals could have nested in your chimney, or weather could have caused structural damage.
We typically recommend scheduling your cleaning in late summer or early fall, before you start using your fireplace again. This timing lets us catch any problems before you need your chimney most.
Call us immediately if you see white staining on your chimney’s exterior—that’s efflorescence, which means water is getting inside your masonry. Long Island’s coastal weather makes this problem common and dangerous.
Smoke entering your room instead of going up the chimney is another red flag. This could mean a blockage, damper problems, or structural issues that need professional attention right away.
If you smell strong odors coming from your fireplace during humid summer weather, that often indicates creosote buildup or moisture problems. Don’t ignore these warning signs—they typically get worse and more expensive to fix over time.
Basic chimney repairs in Calverton typically range from $250 to $1,500, depending on what needs fixing. Simple issues like resealing a chimney crown or replacing a damaged cap are on the lower end of that range.
More extensive repairs like repointing mortar or replacing flue liners can cost $1,000 to $4,000. The exact cost depends on your chimney’s condition, accessibility, and the extent of damage we find during inspection.
Long Island repair costs tend to be higher than national averages due to our local building codes and labor rates. However, catching problems early through regular maintenance saves thousands compared to major structural repairs or chimney rebuilds.
Don’t risk it. Using an uncleaned chimney is like playing Russian roulette with your family’s safety. Creosote buildup inside your flue can ignite at any time, causing a chimney fire that can spread to your entire home.
Even if your chimney looks fine from the outside, dangerous blockages or structural problems could cause carbon monoxide to enter your living space instead of venting safely outside. This is especially risky in tightly sealed modern homes.
The smart move is getting a professional inspection and cleaning before using your fireplace for the season. It’s a small investment compared to the potential cost of fire damage or medical bills from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Long Island’s coastal location creates unique challenges for chimneys. The high humidity and salt air accelerate corrosion of metal components like dampers and flue liners. The constant moisture also promotes faster deterioration of mortar joints.
The freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on masonry chimneys. Water gets into small cracks during wet periods, then expands when it freezes, making those cracks bigger each winter. This cycle repeats until minor issues become major structural problems.
Suffolk County’s building codes are also more stringent than many areas, which affects repair requirements and costs. We understand these local regulations and ensure all our work meets or exceeds current standards for safety and durability.
