Hicksville’s older homes often hide chimney problems behind perfectly fine fireplaces. We use brushes, rods, and a camera to clear soot, check for rust, and ensure your flue is open. Creosote, thick, flammable tar, builds up fast in wood-burning chimneys, especially after heavy use. We remove it all, so you’re not left with a chimney fire risk. Our inspection also checks for animal nests, mortar joint failure, and water leaks that let moisture rot your chimney from the inside. No guesswork: you get a written report with photos of any issues and a clear plan to fix them.

We use the right tools to break it down and remove it completely, then inspect your chimney liner for heat damage. If your liner’s cracked or corroded, we’ll recommend repairs before it leads to a chimney fire. Hicksville’s humidity and hard water make chimneys corrode faster, so we also check for water entry points and seal them. No one wants a $5,000 repair because a small crack went unnoticed. We find those cracks early.
Request this service →Old masonry chimneys lose their protective liner over time, exposing your home to carbon monoxide and soot. We install seamless stainless steel liners that last decades and improve draft. Hicksville’s windy areas can push smoke back into your home if your liner’s damaged, so we make sure it’s airtight. Our liners also reduce creosote buildup, cutting down on future sweeps. We work with your existing chimney structure, not against it, and clean up thoroughly so your fireplace looks as good as it performs. No temporary fixes, just a chimney that works right for years.

We use a powerful vacuum to pull out all the lint, even from deep in the ductwork, and check for sharp bends or crushed sections that restrict airflow. A clean vent dries clothes faster, saves you money on electric bills, and cuts down on mold in your laundry room. We also inspect the vent outside your home for animal nests or debris blocking the exit. No more waiting hours for clothes to dry or smelling lint in your house.
Request this service →Wood stoves and pellet stoves need more than just a sweep, they need regular maintenance to burn cleanly and safely. We check your stove’s gaskets, seals, and burn pot for wear, clean the glass to prevent soot buildup, and ensure the exhaust pipe is clear. Hicksville’s dry winters can make wood burn hotter, increasing creosote in your chimney, so we adjust your stove’s settings to optimize combustion. A well-maintained stove heats better, lasts longer, and reduces the risk of carbon monoxide leaks. We’ll even show you how to load wood for the cleanest burn.
Request this service →Carbon monoxide is odorless and deadly, and it often comes from a cracked heat exchanger, blocked flue, or faulty venting. We use a handheld detector to scan your chimney, stove, and dryer vent system for leaks. If we find elevated levels, we’ll pinpoint the source, whether it’s a small gap in your stove pipe or a clogged chimney, and fix it before it puts your family at risk. Hicksville’s older homes are especially prone to these issues, so we make it a standard part of every inspection. You won’t get a generic ‘everything’s fine’ report, we’ll tell you exactly what’s working and what needs attention.
