Chimney Sweeping, Staten IslandYour Local Chimney Sweeping Experts in Staten Island, NY
On Staten Island, a chimney sweep often pulls out as many leaves and twigs as soot. Wooded lots near the Greenbelt and Blue Heron Park Preserve drop debris on roofs, and an uncapped flue collects it along with nesting birds. The island is strongly gas-heated, so most flues vent a boiler or furnace and stay fairly clean of soot, but a blockage still stops the exhaust from leaving the house. Fireplaces in the larger homes add creosote. Our local crew sweeps each flue, clears the base and checks the cap on the way down.

Chimney Sweeping for Staten Island Homes
Blue Heron Park Preserve, 222 acres of ponds, swamps and streams, sits in the heart of Annadale. Homes near that much tree cover see leaves, twigs and nesting animals in uncapped flues, so a sweep there often ends with fitting a screened cap.
Most homes on Grymes Hill are private houses, many built for Manhattan businessmen, including a number of 1920s homes that look out over New York Harbor. Larger houses like those usually have working fireplaces, and wood fires leave creosote that should be cleaned out as it builds up.
We sweep chimneys in Annadale, Grymes Hill, Huguenot, Great Kills and Westerleigh.
