When your chimney is properly maintained, you get cozy nights by the fire without worrying about smoke backing up into your home or dangerous carbon monoxide buildup. You sleep better knowing your family is protected from the chimney fires that cause one in five residential fires nationwide.
Clean chimneys burn more efficiently, which means lower heating costs and better indoor air quality. Your fireplace draws properly, smoke goes up and out where it belongs, and you can actually enjoy using your fireplace instead of dealing with smoky rooms and lingering odors.
Regular professional maintenance catches small problems before they become expensive disasters. A cracked chimney crown costs hundreds to fix today—but wait too long and you’re looking at thousands in water damage repairs to your walls, ceiling, and foundation.
We’ve been serving Upper Brookville families since we started our company. We understand what Long Island’s salt air, humidity, and coastal storms do to chimneys—and we know exactly how to fix it.
Our team shows up on time, does the work right the first time, and treats your home like it’s our own. We’re licensed, insured, and backed by manufacturer warranties because we believe in the quality of our work.
Upper Brookville homeowners choose us because we combine old-school craftsmanship with modern techniques. We don’t just clean your chimney—we inspect every component, explain what we find in plain language, and give you honest recommendations about what needs attention now versus what can wait.
We start with a complete visual inspection of your entire chimney system, inside and out. Using specialized cameras and lights, we examine the flue liner, check for creosote buildup, and look for any structural issues that could compromise safety or efficiency.
Next comes the cleaning process. Our powerful vacuums and professional-grade brushes remove dangerous creosote deposits, clear blockages, and eliminate the soot and debris that restrict airflow. We protect your home with tarps and leave everything cleaner than we found it.
Before we finish, we conduct a final safety check to ensure everything is working properly. You’ll get a clear explanation of what we found, what we did, and any recommendations for future maintenance. If we discover problems that need repair, we’ll give you honest pricing and timeline estimates with no pressure to decide immediately.

Living in Upper Brookville means your chimney faces unique challenges from Long Island’s coastal environment. Salt air accelerates metal corrosion, high humidity promotes water damage, and freeze-thaw cycles crack masonry. We handle all of these issues with specialized knowledge of local conditions.
Our comprehensive services include chimney cleaning and inspection, flue liner installation and repair, chimney cap and crown restoration, and masonry tuckpointing. We also handle fireplace repairs, damper replacement, and emergency leak repairs when storms cause unexpected damage.
For Upper Brookville’s historic homes and newer construction alike, we use the right materials and techniques for your specific chimney type. Whether it’s a traditional masonry chimney or a modern prefab system, we have the experience and equipment to keep it functioning safely and efficiently. Many of our clients have been with us for years because they know we’ll be here when they need us.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections for all homeowners, regardless of how often you use your fireplace. In Upper Brookville’s coastal environment, this becomes even more important because salt air and humidity accelerate deterioration.
If you burn wood regularly during the heating season, you’ll likely need cleaning every year. Gas fireplaces still need annual inspection even though they don’t produce creosote, because animals can nest in unused chimneys and weather can cause structural problems.
The best time to schedule service is late spring or early summer, after heating season ends but before you need your fireplace again. This gives you time to address any repairs before cold weather returns, and our schedule is more flexible during off-peak months.
White staining on the outside of your chimney (called efflorescence) means water is getting inside the masonry and bringing salts to the surface. This is especially common in Upper Brookville because of our humid coastal climate, and it signals that your chimney crown or flashing needs repair.
If you smell wood odors when the fireplace isn’t in use, or if smoke enters your room instead of going up the chimney, you likely have a blockage or structural problem that needs immediate professional attention. These issues can lead to dangerous carbon monoxide buildup.
Rust on the damper or firebox, animals or birds in the chimney, and damaged chimney cap or crown are other red flags. Any visible cracks in the chimney structure should be inspected immediately, as Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles can turn small cracks into major structural problems quickly.
Professional chimney cleaning in Upper Brookville typically ranges from $200 to $400, depending on the condition of your chimney, accessibility, and what additional services are needed. This includes a thorough inspection, complete cleaning, and a detailed report of our findings.
The investment is small compared to the potential costs of neglecting your chimney. Chimney fires can cause tens of thousands in damage, and water damage from a failing chimney crown can ruin walls, ceilings, and personal belongings. Regular maintenance prevents these expensive disasters.
We provide free estimates and explain exactly what’s included in our service before we start work. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges—you’ll know the total cost upfront. We also offer emergency services when urgent repairs can’t wait for regular scheduling.
While basic fireplace cleaning can be a DIY project, professional chimney cleaning requires specialized equipment, training, and knowledge that most homeowners don’t have. Creosote removal, in particular, requires industrial-grade vacuums and brushes that aren’t available at hardware stores.
Professional chimney sweeps also know what to look for during inspection. We can spot early signs of liner deterioration, identify water damage, and recognize structural problems that untrained eyes miss. These issues can be dangerous if left unaddressed.
In Upper Brookville’s coastal environment, professional service becomes even more important because salt air creates unique maintenance challenges. We understand how Long Island’s climate affects different chimney materials and construction methods, knowledge that comes from years of local experience.
We explain every problem we find in plain language and provide clear recommendations for addressing each issue. You’ll understand what needs immediate attention for safety reasons versus what can be scheduled for future maintenance.
For minor repairs like chimney cap replacement or small masonry fixes, we can often complete the work the same day if you approve the additional service. For larger projects like flue liner replacement or extensive masonry restoration, we’ll provide detailed estimates and work with your schedule.
We never pressure you to approve repairs on the spot. Take time to consider your options, get second opinions if you want, and make decisions that work for your budget and timeline. Our goal is to keep your chimney safe and functional, not to sell you services you don’t need.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency chimney services for urgent situations that can’t wait for regular business hours. This includes chimney fires, major water leaks during storms, and structural damage that poses immediate safety risks.
Emergency situations often happen during severe weather when Upper Brookville faces high winds, heavy rain, or ice storms. We understand that chimney problems don’t follow convenient schedules, and we’re equipped to respond quickly when your family’s safety is at stake.
Our emergency response includes temporary repairs to prevent further damage, safety assessments to determine if it’s safe to use your fireplace, and detailed plans for permanent repairs. We work with your insurance company when storm damage is involved and document everything thoroughly for claims processing.
