"From the initial cleaning and safety inspection of my chimney, to the two days of major repairs, Flue Tech was professional, competent, caring and amazingly efficient. Their years of experience and Angie’s list ratings made me confident in contacting them and that confidence turned to trust as a result of their first visit to my home and subsequent work. Mike and Dave arrived at my home at the scheduled time and proceeded to clean and inspect my chimney. Following a lengthy and illustrated (pictures were taken) inspection, Mike discussed his findings and outlined options, seeking to contain cost without sacrificing quality or safety. He confirmed what I had already suspected, that my leaking chimney had several structural problems which required attention. Agreeing on a course of action, with an itemized list of steps and cost to remedy the situation, I scheduled the work. Flue Tech’s office kept me apprised of work dates and confirmed arrival times of the work team each day. Kevin and Dan (the work team) arrived at my home and made sure I understood every aspect of what they would be doing over the two day period. They treated my home as if it was theirs, carefully covering and taping all areas in the vicinity of the fireplace and, when entering my den from outside, used shoe covers to avoid tracking in any debris. I watched as they patiently and professionally worked on the chimney in oppressively hot weather conditions. They were totally focused on the work making sure each task was completed according to plan and always going the extra mile to make sure I was satisfied. Their cleanup was extremely thorough and before leaving Kevin provided pictures of the completed work and asked if I had any questions or concerns. He told me to contact them should any issues arise. It was a true pleasure working with these two professionals. Flue Tech is now my “go to” company for all chimney related work and I give them my highest recommendation."

"Victor is very professional and a warm hearted gentleman. We are new owners of a home that used the fireplace extensively. There was a strong and lingering odor of ash. Victor at Chimney Sweeps pencilled us in quickly and came on time. He and his worker performed a professional job, wasting no time and completing everything efficiently. Care was taken so as not to leave any dirt on the floors. He diagnosed the situation and shared how long ago since the old owners cleaned the chimney. I heartily recommend Chimney Needs USA. S.L.

Customers say: Terrific value

"Paul (the owner) was very helpful in inspecting a wood stove in our house to make sure of its proper operation. He also identified that our chimney pipe was too short from a code and proper airflow perspective. Because this was an unexpected repair, he was very transparent and showed me both pictures of the chimney on the roof, town building code documents, as well as looked up pricing with me for the components on a number of 3rd party sites so we were totally aligned on final price for the fix. He also made some last adjustments I requested (while it was raining!) Would recommend his services to anyone and look forward to using him again."

"I highly recommend Certified Chimney of Holtsville. A lightning strike caused damage to my chimney. I needed a new liner as well as a new cement crown and other work done to bring my chimney back up to snuff. The owner, Charles and his two associates (Christian and Christopher) did an outstanding job. They are extremely professional, neat and friendly. They completed the job quickly and the most important thing is that I was given a very decent price. If you need chimney work done, donâ t hesitate to call them."

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

This depends on the design of your roof and any preexisting issues. If you have water and puddles pooling, no matter the roof type, apply a coat of sealant immediately. Beyond that, seal a flat roof every five years, though constant rain and snow hasten this time frame to three or four years. Add a few years for sloped roofs, waiting six to eight years between applications, as water does not pool with these designs.

It’s possible to install your chimney cap in some areas, but it’s usually better to hire a professional. Before you attempt a DIY chimney cap installation, check to see if your local building department requires a permit. If it does, you should hire a professional to pull the permit and complete the work for you. Even if you don’t need a permit, getting up on your roof is dangerous, especially if you have an aggressive pitch or slippery roof material, like metal. Hiring a chimney professional guarantees the job is done correctly and keeps you safe from injury.

Meshed fiberglass tape is your best option if you want to tape up a leaking ceiling. Even then, that is not a permanent solution and you need to address the root cause of the leak. Also, you still need to apply drywall material on top of the tape and repaint the ceiling, instead of leaving the tape exposed as-is. Finally, this method only works on minor leaks and as a band-aid solution.

There are a few things you should look out for that suggest your chimney needs repair. The most obvious of which is leaking around the bricks or stone, which should be addressed by a professional immediately. If you’re unsure of its repair status, consider conducting a chimney inspection. Some other repair signs include:

  • Smoky smell in your home when you’re using your chimney

  • Visible damage to the bricks or mortar between them

  • Chimney is pulling away from your home

  • Portions of the brick are flaking away or crumbling

  • Visible cracks that travel through the mortar in a stair-step formation

Structural problems with the foundation or roof, water damage, and significant plumbing or electrical issues are all considered major red flags in a home inspection. Of these, a structural problem related to the foundation is often the most severe. Foundation repairs are typically the most expensive and intrusive to carry out, averaging around $5,000 but sometimes reaching up to $16,000. Because these problems can pose safety risks and be costly to fix, you should ask your inspector detailed questions about any identified issues. You will need to carefully consider how major problems affect what you’re willing to pay for the home, or if you want to proceed with the sale at all.
