Chimney Sweeping, Inspection & Repair in NYC
Answer 5 questions for a risk assessment. This is guidance only — only an in-person inspection can confirm your liner’s condition.
1. Do you see smoke backing up into the house?
2. Are flue tiles cracked, or is there visible damage inside the chimney?
3. Did the building convert from oil to gas heat?
4. Is the chimney over 30 years old?
5. Has your CO alarm gone off, or has anyone felt ill near the fireplace?
This quiz suggests risk level only. It is not a diagnosis. A Level 2 endoscopy camera inspection (starts at $199 in Brooklyn, $399 in Manhattan) gives you a definitive answer with photos.
