Tips to Identify the Cause of Staining on Chimneys

Chimney Sweep / Chimney Cleaning in Amenia NY

Every time a wood-burning fire is lit in your fireplace, creosote deposits are left in your chimney flue. Creosote is highly flammable, and if it isn’t removed routinely, the risk of a hazardous chimney fire is increased. Our chimney sweeps provide reliable chimney cleaning services for homeowners in Amenia.

Chimney Inspection

We offer three levels of chimney inspections for our Amenia and Wassaic customers. Our chimney technicians use the most up-to-date and effective equipment, including a video camera for inspection of the chimney lining. Chimney inspections from certified professionals ensure that your chimney and fireplace are safe to use, which can provide you with peace of mind.

Chimney Repairs

Chimneys often need repair, and moisture is the most common cause of damage to the structure. Our experienced chimney sweeps have the training to perform all chimney repairs for homeowners in Amenia NY and the surrounding area.

Chimney Liners

It is critical that your chimney liner and firebox are both in good repair and free of damage because these components protect combustible parts of your home from extreme temperatures. Even the smallest crack in a chimney liner can lead to a house fire. We provide chimney liner repair and chimney liner replacement for Amenia NY homeowners.

Chimney Crowns

The chimney crown at the top of the chimney prevents moisture from getting into the chimney system. Cracks develop and other types of deterioration commonly occur due to exposure to the elements, and repair or a chimney crown rebuild is needed. When our Hudson Valley Chimney professionally marked trucks are seen in Amenia, Wassaic, and in Dutchess County, we are often on service calls to repair chimney crowns.

Chimney Rebuilding & Masonry Work

Proper construction of a chimney system is needed for the venting system to operate properly. In addition, it’s important that the chimney structure is sound. Our trained and certified technicians know how to expertly perform chimney rebuilds and repair. Although bricklayers are known to offer lower bids on chimney rebuilds, the workers are often unfamiliar with the workings of a chimney and the work has to be redone. Our professionals will get it done right the first time, which saves money and provides greater peace of mind.

Chimney Caps & Chase Tops

Chimney caps and chase tops are the best defense against moisture in your chimney. These essential accessories aren’t as durable as other chimney components. During chimney inspections, our chimney technicians check to ensure that Amenia homeowners’ chimney caps and chase tops are in good condition. Otherwise, repair or replacement can be provided.
