Chimney Sweeping, Inspection & Repair in NYC
Buying a NYC home with a fireplace or boiler? Get the chimney checked first.
A standard home inspection does not include the chimney flue. For NYC’s older housing stock, a dedicated Level 2 chimney inspection — with a camera scan of the full flue (starts at $199 in Brooklyn, $399 in Manhattan) — is the only way to know what you are buying. NFPA 211 recommends a Level 2 inspection when a home changes hands.
We serve buyers across Brooklyn and Manhattan. If the inspection finds issues, you can negotiate repairs or credits before closing.
Closing on a home with a fireplace or boiler? We provide NFPA 211 Level 2 camera inspections with a written photo report for closings — fast turnaround to keep your deal on track. Level 2 camera inspection starts at $199 in Brooklyn / $399 in Manhattan. Call (347) 297-9646.
A new boiler needs the correct flue sizing, a sound liner and a draft test. An unlined, oversized or cracked flue paired with a new boiler causes backdrafting and carbon monoxide danger — and NYC code requires the chimney to suit the new appliance. Book a Level 2 camera inspection (starts at $199 in Brooklyn / $399 in Manhattan) before the boiler goes in. Licensed & insured. Call (347) 297-9646.
