Got a question about chimney care, inspections, or dryer vents? Here are answers to what Hudson Valley homeowners ask us most.
How often should I have my chimney cleaned?
At least once a year. A yearly inspection catches problems early, and we’ll let you know if a chimney cleaning is needed based on how much you use your fireplace or stove.
What’s the best time of year to schedule a chimney sweep?
Spring and summer are ideal because appointments are easier to get. Booking before fall means your fireplace is ready the moment cold weather arrives.
Why does my chimney need to be cleaned?
Burning wood leaves behind creosote, a sticky buildup that can catch fire. Cleaning removes it and helps keep smoke and harmful gases moving out of your home.
What is a chimney video inspection?
We send a small camera up the inside of your chimney so we can see cracks, gaps, or damage that can’t be spotted with the naked eye. We can show you exactly what we found during a chimney video inspection.
Will you make a mess in my home?
No. Our technicians use drop cloths and powerful vacuums to keep soot contained, and we clean up before we leave.
My chimney is leaking. Can you fix it?
Yes. Leaks usually come from damaged flashing, a cracked chimney crown, or worn masonry. We’ll find the source and recommend the right chimney repair, including waterproofing if needed.
Do I need a chimney cap?
We recommend one. A chimney cap keeps out rain, animals, leaves, and debris, and it helps stop sparks from escaping.
Do you clean dryer vents too?
Yes. Lint buildup in dryer vents is a common cause of house fires, and we have the tools to clean and repair dryer vents safely.
