Chimney Sweep in Marlborough
Chimneys connected to wood-burning fireplaces should be professionally cleaned once a year.
Chimney cleaning has two primary objectives:
- Remove flammable creosote from the flue and reduce the chance of a chimney fire and flue damage
- Remove tree debris, nests of small animals, and other obstructions that can block the flow of smoke
Creosote is responsible for most chimney fires in Marlborough and Ulster County each year. Our chimney sweeps are certified through the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) and have the equipment and experience to safely remove creosote from your Marlborough chimney.
Drafting obstructions such as tree debris and small-animal nests narrow the flue and can send smoke and deadly carbon monoxide back into your home. Carbon monoxide can’t be seen or smelled, but it is poisonous to humans and animals. We thoroughly clean debris from your flue as part of our chimney sweep services.
Professional Chimney Inspection
Annual chimney inspections are the best way to spot early signs of damage and malfunction in your chimney system and get it resolved before it becomes a serious – and expensive – problem.
Hudson Valley Chimney provides all three levels of chimney inspection as outlined by the CSIA:
Level 1: The basic inspection performed annually.
Level 2: A special inspection for when you’re selling your home or modifying your fireplace/chimney system. This inspection also is performed when damage is suspected after a fire or malfunction.
Level 3: Performed when serious damage is known to exist and may include dismantling parts of the chimney and adjacent home building materials.

Chimney Rebuilding & Masonry Work
Our skilled masons perform many chimney rebuilding projects throughout the Marlborough, NY, area. We can address minor damage all the way up to major structural malfunction.
Chimney rebuilding: Seriously damaged chimneys often need partial or complete chimney rebuilding. After an inspection, we’ll know if we need to rebuild the stack (the visible part) or just sections of it, or if we need to rebuild the entire chimney from the ground up.
Tuckpointing: This process fills in areas of crumbling mortar with a strong new compound to prevent further structural damage and water infiltration.
Chimney brick repair: When bricks begin to decay or crack, your chimney structure can quickly become unsafe. Our team can repair or replace bricks within your chimney’s masonry as needed.
Masonry waterproofing: Small masonry cracks are often best addressed with a waterproof sealant that shields the gaps and prevents water from moving into the system.
