Chimney Inspection, QueensChimney Inspection in Queens, NY From Your Local Crew
Queens averages about 44.8 inches of precipitation a year, and in an average year there are 14 days when the temperature never rises above freezing. That combination slowly pries brick and mortar apart, and most of the early damage is invisible from the sidewalk. A yearly inspection, which NFPA 211 calls for, looks at the crown, the flashing, the flue tiles and the connection to the boiler or furnace. Our local Queens crew walks you through each finding and gives you a written estimate for anything that needs work.

Chimney Inspection for Queens Homes
Homes in northern Woodhaven are mainly Victorian and Colonial, and many are more than 120 years old. Chimneys of that age have usually been patched more than once, so an inspection there checks how earlier repairs are holding as well as the original brick.
Maspeth's 57th Avenue has many old houses dating from the 1850s. A chimney that old may have been built for wood or coal and later connected to a modern boiler, which is exactly the kind of change an inspection is meant to catch.
We inspect chimneys in Woodhaven, Maspeth, Richmond Hill, Jamaica and Kew Gardens.
