A chimney deteriorated by constant exposure to the weather will be a potential safety hazard. Regular chimney maintenance is paramount to prevent harm, deterioration & future dangerous, high-cost chimney fixes.

Each year there are thousands of cases of carbon monoxide poisonings due to improperly lined chimneys. Masonry materials deteriorate quickly when exposed to the extreme freeze/thaw processes of North Massapequa, in which moisture that has penetrated the materials periodically freezes and expands causing undue stress.

Metal fireboxes, liners and dampers all will suffer rust & deterioration. Chimney liner tiles & mortar could crumble & crack leading to serious trouble.

The method chosen or recommended for your chimney can depend on the type of deposits. A flue lining in a masonry chimney is defined as “a clay, ceramic or metal liner. A lining cleaning is cost-effective and the most optimal for your fireplace chimney and in chimneys serving gas, oil, wood or coal burning appliances. It conforms to any shape, size and length of the chimney and become a non-destructive chimney lining system which is corrosion-proof, flame & heat resistant, airtight liner with a rigidity of a steel. A stainless steel chimney liner is air and water tight.

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 house is safer for yourself and your family. The liner protects the house from heat transfer to combustibles. In the NBS tests, unlined chimneys allowed heat to move through the chimney so rapidly that the adjacent woodwork caught fire in only 3 1/2 hours. 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 can leak into the living areas of the home. Modern wood stoves & gas or oil furnaces require a exactly-sized flue to perform correctly. Our major function is to remove flue deposits & evaluate the complete condition of the chimney system.

Our aim is to provide recommendations that could improve the safety and efficiency of your appliance & venting system. Chimneys should be cleaned when accumulations of soot & creosote approach or exceed 1/4 inch. Accumulations of glaze more than 1/8 inch could be removed. We employ multiple cleaning plans to remove chimney deposits. Frequent (at least annual) chimney estimates are the only way to know when the chimney requires replacing.
