Jericho’s older homes (think post-war Cape Cod roofs) hide creosote like a bad tenant—until it’s too late. Most sweeps stop at the first layer, but we dig deeper, scraping flue tiles and checking for moisture traps where Jericho’s damp winters leave residue. Our video inspection catches cracks or misaligned joints that let smoke (and CO) back into your home—something standard sweeps skip. We use HEPA vacuums to trap fine debris, so your house doesn’t smell like a campfire for days. And no, ‘sweeping once a year’ isn’t a rule—it’s a gamble. We’ll tell you exactly when your Jericho chimney needs attention, based on how you use it (weekend fires vs. daily heating). Licensed, insured, and backed by a 30-day warranty.

Our inspections go beyond the ‘visual check’—we test for proper draw, measure temperature rise, and use a manometer to spot blockages. If your chimney’s seen heavy use (like during last winter’s polar vortex), we’ll check for corrosion from acidic wood smoke. We also verify your damper seals and inspect for animal nests (squirrels love Jericho’s attics). Unlike quick ‘sweep-and-go’ services, we provide a detailed report with photos and a pass/fail safety certification. No hidden fees—just the facts, so you can use your fireplace with confidence.
Request this service →If your Jericho chimney’s older than the trees on Old Country Road, it’s probably due for repairs. Cracked clay liners, rusted caps, or deteriorated mortar let smoke and sparks into your home—and your insurance might not cover the damage if you ignore it. We specialize in stainless steel relining for modern efficiency, or traditional mortar repairs for historic homes. Need a new chimney cap? We install weather-tight models that keep Jericho’s rain and snow out of your flue. Our work comes with a 5-year warranty, and we’ll coordinate with your roofer if the chimney’s structural integrity is at risk. No upselling—just the repairs your chimney actually needs.

Jericho’s humidity turns dryer vents into tinder faster than you’d think, and most homeowners don’t realize their dryer’s working harder (and costing more) because of restricted airflow. We use a motorized brush system to clear vents completely, then test airflow with a manometer to ensure your dryer’s running safely. Pro tip: If your dryer takes longer than 45 minutes to dry a load, your vent’s likely clogged. We also check for improper installations (like sharp bends in the vent pipe) and seal gaps where moisture can cause mold. Licensed, insured, and backed by a 90-day warranty—because a clean vent isn’t just about safety, it’s about saving money on energy bills.
Request this service →Wood stoves in Jericho homes (especially those near the Sound) collect creosote and ash faster than fireplaces because of higher heat output. We disassemble burn pots, scrub glass doors, and vacuum ash from the combustion chamber—then check the flue pipe for blockages. A clean stove burns more efficiently, reducing smoke smell in your home and lowering fuel costs. We also inspect gaskets and door seals for leaks, which can pull cold air in and make your stove work harder. Unlike generic sweeps, we know Jericho’s wood types (oak, hickory, pine) and adjust our cleaning based on what you burn. Licensed, insured, and we’ll even show you how to maintain your stove between cleanings.
Request this service →Chimney emergencies don’t wait for business hours. If your Jericho fireplace is smoking into the room, has zero draft, or you smell gas, we’ll respond the same day (often within hours). Our emergency service includes a full inspection to find the root cause—whether it’s a blocked flue, failed damper, or animal obstruction. We carry backup parts for common repairs (like chimney caps or draft inducers) to fix issues on the spot. No upsells, no surprises—just a working chimney. We also offer 24/7 advice if you’re unsure whether it’s an emergency (e.g., ‘Is this smoke normal?’). Licensed, insured, and we’ll document everything for your records.
