You get comprehensive chimney services under one roof. Spring chimney inspections to catch problems early, thorough cleaning to remove dangerous creosote buildup, and winter chimney maintenance to keep everything running smoothly through the cold months.
Our chimney cleaning covers everything from soot and ash removal to flue cleaning and debris clearing. We remove the three stages of creosote – from light flaky deposits to hardened tar-like glazed buildup that only professionals can handle safely.
Brookhaven’s coastal environment is tough on chimneys, and we understand the specific challenges your system faces. Salt air accelerates deterioration, and the freeze-thaw cycles common here create unique stress on masonry and metal components. That’s why our service includes checking for these local issues that other companies might miss.
Most Brookhaven homeowners need annual chimney cleaning if they use their fireplace regularly during the winter months. If you burn wood regularly through the winter, 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. The NFPA recommends annual inspection and cleaning regardless of how often you use your fireplace.
The coastal environment here accelerates wear on chimney components, so staying on top of maintenance prevents small problems from becoming expensive emergencies.
A thorough chimney cleaning removes creosote buildup, which is the tar-like substance that accumulates from burning wood and is highly flammable. We also clear out soot, debris like leaves and twigs, and any animal nests or blockages that might have formed.
In Brookhaven, we commonly find issues with birds or squirrels making homes in chimneys during the off-season. These blockages can prevent proper ventilation and create dangerous carbon monoxide situations.
Our cleaning process covers the entire flue system, smoke chamber, damper, and firebox. We remove everything that shouldn’t be there so your chimney can do its job safely and efficiently.
Chimney cleaning costs in Brookhaven typically range from $150 to $300 for a standard cleaning and inspection, depending on the condition of your chimney, accessibility, and what needs to be done. 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. No surprises, no hidden fees. Repairs are quoted separately after inspection if needed.
Consider that professional cleaning prevents the thousands of dollars in damage that chimney fires can cause. It’s a small investment for major peace of mind.
Yes, we clean chimneys for all types of heating systems – wood-burning fireplaces, wood stoves, gas fireplaces, and even oil and gas furnace flues. Each system creates different types of buildup and has different cleaning requirements.
Wood-burning systems create creosote that needs regular removal. Gas systems produce less visible buildup but still need annual cleaning to remove debris, check for blockages, and ensure proper ventilation.
Oil and gas systems also require annual cleaning and inspection to prevent carbon monoxide intrusion back into your living space. We’re trained to handle all these different systems safely and effectively.
A strong, smoky odor resembling a campfire, even when your fireplace isn’t in use, is a common sign of creosote buildup. You might also notice reduced airflow, which can make it harder to start a fire or cause smoke to linger inside your home.
Other warning signs include white staining on the outside of your chimney, rust on the damper or firebox, or animals and birds in the chimney. If smoke enters your room instead of going up the flue, that’s a red flag that needs immediate attention.
Don’t wait for these problems to get worse. If you notice any of these signs, call for professional inspection right away. Early intervention prevents dangerous situations and saves money on major repairs.
Every cleaning includes a comprehensive safety inspection. We check your damper operation, examine the firebox for cracks, and assess the exterior chimney structure for weather damage – something particularly important here in Brookhaven where coastal conditions can accelerate wear.
Our inspection covers the structural integrity, looks for cracks or deterioration, assesses the damper and flue liner condition, and examines the exterior for weather damage. You get photos of any issues we find and a complete report of our findings.
We also provide honest recommendations about timing for future maintenance. Most homeowners need annual cleaning if they use their fireplace regularly, but we’ll tell you exactly what your situation requires based on your actual usage and chimney condition, not some one-size-fits-all schedule.
