Chimney Inspection, Westchester CountyYour Local Chimney Inspection Pros in Westchester County, NY
Recent Census estimates place about 28% of Westchester's housing units in buildings from 1939 or earlier, with another large share from the 1950s. Old chimneys and newer boilers are a common mismatch here, and the problems they cause are rarely visible from the yard. NFPA 211 calls for chimneys, fireplaces and vents to be inspected yearly. Our local crew checks the crown and flashing from the roof, looks down each flue in the stack, checks the appliance connections and gives you a written summary with a free estimate for anything that needs work.

Chimney Inspection for Westchester County Homes
A December 1914 fire destroyed Ardsley's village center, and the village later grew in two booms, one between World War I and the Great Depression and one after World War II. Chimneys from those two periods were built differently, and an inspection starts with knowing which kind you have.
Scarsdale's suburban growth began after it became an express stop on the Harlem line in 1877, and in 1891 a 150-acre farm was turned into a development of one-family houses. Chimneys on homes that old often carry several layers of repairs that need a close look.
We inspect chimneys in Ardsley, Scarsdale, Greenburgh, Elmsford and Bronxville.
