Chimney Sweeping, BrooklynYour Local Chimney Sweeping Pros in Brooklyn, NY
Most Brooklyn chimneys work harder than people think. Census estimates show utility gas heating about 72% of occupied homes in Kings County, so the flue on a typical brownstone or row house carries boiler and water heater exhaust all season. Oil-fired buildings, around 5% of homes, leave soot and scale that narrow the passage, and parlor fireplaces add creosote when they are used. Our local crew in Brooklyn sweeps from the roof and the firebox, keeps your floors covered, and tells you plainly what came out of the flue.

Chimney Sweeping for Brooklyn Homes
A typical Brooklyn Heights brownstone stands three or four stories with a stoop up to the main floor, which means a long flue from the cellar boiler to the roof. We sweep that whole run, not just the part you can reach from the fireplace, and empty the base cleanout where soot collects.
Kensington mixes brick rowhouses, detached one-family Victorians and apartment buildings. A detached Victorian there often has a working fireplace and a boiler flue in the same stack, so each flue gets brushed and checked on its own.
We sweep chimneys in Brooklyn Heights, Kensington, Park Slope, Bay Ridge and Midwood, along with the rest of the borough.
