Chimneys in New Rochelle & Pelham
New Rochelle and Pelham are mostly early-1900s houses on tight streets: Colonials, Tudors and two-family homes, many with one masonry stack carrying two, three or four flues. One flue serves the fireplace, another the boiler or water heater, and sometimes a third is left over from an old coal stove.
That is why we inspect and photograph every flue in the stack, not only the one with the fireplace. A cracked tile in the boiler flue is as important as soot in the fireplace flue, and it is the one most often missed.
- Multi-flue stacks where the boiler and fireplace share one chimney
- Original clay tile liners that have cracked or lost mortar between tiles
- Gas boilers and water heaters venting into flues built for oil or coal
- Crowns and caps worn by a century of winters

What we do in New Rochelle & Pelham
Camera Inspections
A camera run up every flue with a written report and photos. Level 2 inspections for home sales, new appliances or after a chimney fire, the standard buyers’ inspectors and attorneys ask for.
Learn moreChimney Liners
Stainless steel liners sized to the appliance. The usual fix when a modern boiler or water heater vents into an old clay-lined flue and the condensation starts eating the masonry.
Learn moreMasonry Repair
Repointing worn joints, replacing spalled brick and rebuilding cracked crowns in proper mortar. On the older Rye homes we match the brick and mortar colour so the repair doesn’t stand out.
Learn moreChimney Sweeping
Creosote and soot cleared from the flue, smoke chamber and firebox with a HEPA vacuum running the whole time, so nothing lands in the room. Before-and-after photos of the flue every visit.
Learn moreCaps, Flashing & Waterproofing
Stainless caps, resealed or replaced flashing, and a breathable water repellent on the brick. Close to the Sound, this is what keeps wind-driven rain out of the chimney and off your ceilings.
Learn moreDryer Vent Cleaning
Lint cleared from the full duct run, airflow checked and the outside flap tested. A clear vent dries faster and takes away one of the most common causes of house fires.
