Professional, Local, North Hempstead Chimney Contractor

The chimney is one of the most under appreciated things of a structure. A Home’s chimney tends to not receive the redress or the concern usually accorded other worrisome household systems. Chimneys perform several important functions & their simple appearance misrepresents their complex construction and performance requirements. Regular chimney maintenance is key to prevent damage, deterioration and future expensive, high-cost chimney fixes.

Incorrectly lined chimneys can cause a number of high-priced structural and cosmetic dilemmas for the customer & also create potentially pivotal safety hazards. Lots of masonry chimney products (except for genuine stone) suffer accelerated deterioration as a result of prolonged contact with water. A stone chimney acts & is like a brick chimney & it may also be protected from the effects of water penetration. Chimney caps, also called rain covers, are probably the most inexpensive preventive measure that a customer could employ to prevent water penetration and damage to the chimney. Defective mortar joints or the use of incorrect mortar or brick could greatly increase the tendency to absorb and move water to the interior of the masonry chimney. Our masons only send fully-trained chimney cleaning highly-skilled pros to your residence that may live up to the guidelines of the CSIA (Chimney Safety Institute of America) and the NCSG (National Chimney Sweeps Guild), the two regulatory organizations for the chimney industry in the United States.

The method chosen or recommended for your chimney may depend on the type of deposits. The Thermocrete process coats the inside of the chimney from top to bottom with a highly durable ceramic sealant. Thermocrete has undergone rigorous UL Listing & it is an approved liner for gas & oil. Composite chimney lining system that gets inflated into the chimney flue and steam pressure is added to harden the resin, turning it into hard composite liner. A stainless steel chimney liner locks in moisture and flue gases in your chimney and keeps them out of your home.

Stainless steel liners have been UL Tested under the most extreme conditions including multiple simulated chimney fires exceeding 2100F so you’ll sleep soundly at night knowing that your property is safer for yourself and your family. Liners in chimneys serve three main functions. Liners protect the masonry from the corrosive byproducts of combustion. In the tests, it was determined that if the flue gases were allowed to penetrate to the brick & mortar, the result would be a reduction in the usable life of the chimney. As the mortar joints erode, heat transfers more rapidly to the nearby combustibles and dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide may leak into the living areas of the home. Modern wood stoves & gas or oil furnaces require a correctly-sized flue to perform correctly. An incorrectly-sized liner may lead to excessive creosote buildup in wood burning stoves and the production of carbon monoxide with conventional fuels.

The required cleaning frequency will depend on amount of use, the type of installation, the type of fuel & the burning habits of the homeowner. Chimneys should be cleaned when accumulations of soot and creosote approach or exceed 1/4 inch. Accumulations of glaze in addition to 1/8 inch will be removed. Our experts employ numerous cleaning plans to remove chimney deposits. Frequent (at least annual) chimney checks are the only way to know when the chimney is in need of to be addressed.
