Brooklyn’s old brick homes and high-rise apartments see more chimney fires than you’d think, often because homeowners skip sweeps until it’s too late. Our certified sweeps use rotating brushes and high-powered vacuums to remove all three types of creosote, tar, oil, and hard, so your chimney stays clean and your fireplace burns efficiently. We also check for cracks, rust, or animal nests that could turn a cozy fire into a disaster. Most sweeps take 60-90 minutes, but we’ll give you an exact timeline when we arrive. Pro tip: If your chimney smells like gas or smoke when lit, that’s not normal, schedule a sweep today before winter sets in.

Our crew clears vents with stiff brushes and high-velocity air, removing every trace of lint while checking for hidden blockages or damaged ducts. We’ve pulled out enough dryer lint to fill trash bags in some Brooklyn homes, and the difference in drying time and energy bills is immediate. Most vents need cleaning every 12 months, but if your dryer hums loudly or clothes take forever to dry, that’s your warning sign. We also inspect for proper airflow, poor ventilation isn’t just inefficient, it’s a fire waiting to happen.

Our inspections go beyond just the flue, we check for spalling bricks, rusted caps, and even signs of water damage from Brooklyn’s occasional heavy rains. If your chimney’s mortar is crumbling or the liner’s cracked, we’ll tell you straight up and recommend fixes before a small problem turns into a $2,000 repair. We also test for proper draw and seal integrity, which is especially critical in older Brooklyn row homes where chimneys weren’t always built to code. Think of it as a ‘check engine’ light for your fireplace, better to know now than when smoke starts backing into your living room.

Our encapsulation treatment coats existing buildup with a non-toxic sealant, reducing fire risk by up to 80% until you can schedule a full cleaning. It’s a smart stopgap for landlords, seasonal homeowners, or anyone facing a tight schedule. Just know this isn’t a permanent fix, you’ll still need a sweep within 3-6 months. We’ve used this on chimneys in Prospect Heights and Park Slope where homeowners needed a quick solution before renters moved in or before holiday guests arrived. It buys you time, but don’t treat it as a replacement for a proper sweep.

Our relining service installs new stainless steel or ceramic liners that fit your existing chimney, restoring proper airflow and safety. This is a must-do for Brooklyn homes built before the 1980s, where many chimneys still have the original (or no) liners. We’ve seen chimneys in Crown Heights and Bed-Stuy where the liner was so corroded it looked like Swiss cheese. A reline costs more upfront, but it’s cheaper than rebuilding a chimney, or worse, dealing with a gas leak that sends your family to the ER. We use only UL-listed materials and warrant our work for 10 years.

We’ve pulled apart vents in Brooklyn apartments where the duct was crushed under a floorboard, or where a missing cap let rainwater rot the insulation. Our repairs include replacing damaged sections, securing loose joints, and installing proper vent caps to keep critters out. We also check for improper slope, if your vent isn’t angled correctly, lint will settle instead of being vented outside. Most repairs take 30-60 minutes, and the difference in drying speed and energy savings pays for itself in months. Don’t wait until your dryer starts smoking to fix this.
