Chimney Inspection, BrooklynYour Local Chimney Inspection Crew in Brooklyn, NY
Roughly 48% of Brooklyn's housing units sit in buildings from 1939 or earlier, according to recent Census estimates, and many of those chimneys have outlived several boilers. A yearly inspection, which NFPA 211 recommends, is the simplest way to catch a cracked crown, loose flashing or a broken flue tile before it becomes a leak or a draft problem. Our Brooklyn crew looks at the stack from the roof, follows the flue from top to bottom and checks the connections at the boiler and water heater, then explains the results in plain language.

Chimney Inspection for Brooklyn Homes
Bedford-Stuyvesant alone has roughly 8,800 buildings built before 1900. Chimneys that old were laid in soft lime mortar and often have clay liners that have cracked or shifted, so an inspection there pays close attention to the flue walls and the joints near the roofline.
In Canarsie, much of the housing went up from the postwar era into the 1970s, and those chimneys were usually built to vent a furnace from day one. The key question on those homes is whether the original liner still suits the boiler or water heater running today.
Inspections are booked across Bedford-Stuyvesant, Canarsie, Crown Heights, Flatbush, Sunset Park and Williamsburg.
