Chimney Inspection, The BronxYour Local Chimney Inspection Experts in The Bronx, NY
About a third of the Bronx housing stock was built in 1939 or earlier, and many of those chimneys have spent decades venting oil boilers. Sulfur in oil exhaust forms acidic deposits that slowly attack mortar and clay liners, and the damage is rarely visible from outside. A yearly inspection, as NFPA 211 recommends, is how you find it early. Our local Bronx crew checks the cap, crown and flashing, follows the flue from top to bottom and looks at every appliance connection, then gives you a clear written summary.

Chimney Inspection for The Bronx Homes
Single-family homes dominate Pelham Gardens, and many houses there have basement studio apartments. When the boiler and its chimney connection sit close to living space, a sound flue and working carbon monoxide alarms matter even more, and we check both during the visit.
Spuyten Duyvil grew in stages: houses after the railroad arrived in the second half of the 1800s, more through the 1920s, then high-rise apartments from the 1950s through the 1980s. Each era built its chimneys differently, so an inspection there starts with knowing which kind you have.
We inspect chimneys in Pelham Gardens, Spuyten Duyvil, Kingsbridge, Country Club and Schuylerville.
