How often should I get my chimney cleaned here in Franklin Square?

We recommend annual cleaning before heating season, especially if you use your fireplace or stove regularly. With our older homes here on Long Island, buildup happens faster than you'd think, and it's the best way to prevent fires and keep everything running safely.

What's actually in all that black stuff that comes down when you clean?

That's creosote—a flammable byproduct from burning wood that builds up on your chimney walls over time. The more you use your fireplace, the faster it builds up, and it's a real fire hazard if left alone.

Do I need to be home when you do the cleaning?

You don't have to stay in the room where the work happens, but it's helpful to be home so we can answer any questions or let you know what we find. Call us at (516) 690-7471 to schedule a time that works best for you.

Will chimney cleaning make a mess in my house?

We take precautions to keep your home clean, using drop cloths and professional equipment, but some minor dust is normal with any thorough cleaning. We'll leave your space clean and tidy when we're done.

What happens if I don't get it cleaned before winter?

Creosote buildup increases your risk of a chimney fire, and you lose efficiency in heating your home. In Franklin Square's cold winters, you want your fireplace or stove working at its best when you need it most.

Franklin Square sits in central Nassau, which means your chimney faces real seasonal stress. The freeze-thaw cycle hits hard here, especially on flashing where the chimney meets the roof — that's where we see most problems in homes throughout Franklin Square. Between the rainy weather and the age of the housing stock, moisture gets in fast if flashing isn't sealed right.
