Hudson Valley Chimney serves homeowners in Mahopac, NY, Carmel, NY, and all of Putnam County, NY, with professional chimney and fireplace services. We use our own trained and certified technicians who know how to complete projects in accordance with state and local code regulations.
When there’s a problem with your chimney or fireplace, we’re ready to solve it. We’ve been doing this since 1976.
Chimney Sweeping
We provide CSIA-certified chimney sweeping to remove flammable creosote and debris that can hamper drafting. Annual chimney sweeping greatly reduces the risk of a chimney fire and of smoke and deadly carbon monoxide backups caused by flue obstructions.
Chimney Inspections
Chimneys should be inspected once a year, and under certain special circumstances. Hudson Valley Chimney offers all three levels of chimney inspections as recommended by the Chimney Safety Institute of America.
Chimney Repairs
Whatever is wrong with your Mahopac, NY, chimney, we know how to make it right:
- Chimney cap and chase cover repair and installation
- Chimney flashing repair and replacement
- Fireplace damper repair and installation
- Chimney liner repair and relining with powerful stainless steel
- Smoke chamber parging (smoothing)
Masonry Repairs and Rebuilding
Cracked bricks and crumbling mortar allow water to penetrate the masonry, leading to eventual widespread damage. We replace damaged bricks, perform tuck pointing to strengthen mortar joints, and apply a strong water sealant to protect against future damage.
If there’s major structural damage, we can partially or completely rebuild the chimney.
Historic Chimney and Fireplace Restoration
There are many chimneys in Mahopac, NY, and Putnam County, NY, that are well over 100 years old. If you own a historic home, let us restore your chimney to code, making it safer and more reliable. Our crew will leave you with a chimney that expresses its original historic beauty and includes all the current safety features.
Historic fireplaces were originally built not only for heat but also for elegance. If your older fireplace’s firebox is damaged, stained, or just plain unattractive, let us restore it to its former elegance.
Firebox Repair and Rebuilding
If your masonry firebox is damaged, we can rebuild it with resilient new firebricks. If you have a manufactured fireplace or a fireplace insert with a deteriorated metal housing, we can either remove it and rebuild with bricks or install a state-of-the-art Bellfire Fireplace System.
Chimney and Fireplace Troubleshooting
We’ll help you get to the bottom of any tricky issue you’re facing with your chimney or fireplace:
- Smoke backups
- Noises in the chimney
- Animals in the chimney
- White stains on the masonry
- Horrible chimney odors
- Fires that are difficult to start and maintain
- Chimney leaks anywhere in the system
- Incorrect flue sizing or chimney height
