Chimney Inspection, Staten IslandChimney Inspection Done Right in Staten Island, NY
Staten Island homes are younger than most of the city's, with the largest shares of housing built in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s and only about 18% from before 1940. Many of those chimneys were built for a furnace from day one, so their condition depends heavily on whether the liner still fits the appliance in use. Under NFPA 211, chimneys and vents should be inspected yearly, with a fresh look after any chimney fire or storm damage. Our local crew checks the whole system and explains what we find in plain language.

Chimney Inspection for Staten Island Homes
Dongan Hills was one of the first Staten Island neighborhoods to see a postwar building surge, with many small one-family homes built in the 1950s. Chimneys on those houses have often outlived more than one boiler, and an inspection checks whether the flue still matches the current one.
Tottenville has a strong heritage of Victorian architecture, and many large homes built there in the 1800s are still standing. Their chimneys are far older than the heating systems they serve, and an inspection pays close attention to the liner and the upper brick.
We inspect chimneys in Dongan Hills, Tottenville, New Dorp, Eltingville and St. George.
