Chimney Sweeping, The BronxYour Local Chimney Sweeping Team for The Bronx, NY
The Bronx leans on heating oil more than any other borough. Recent Census estimates show fuel oil heating about 17% of occupied homes, a larger share than in Brooklyn, Queens or Staten Island. Oil is a demanding fuel for a chimney: it leaves soot and scale that narrow the flue and can choke the draft. That makes regular sweeping a real safety matter here, not a nicety. Our local Bronx crew sweeps oil and gas flues and fireplace chimneys, empties the cleanout and tells you how the flue looks.

Chimney Sweeping for The Bronx Homes
Riverdale's early housing was large mansions from the early 1900s, mostly in Georgian Revival and Tudor Revival styles. Houses like that tend to have several fireplaces and a boiler flue in the same stack, and each one needs its own sweep.
Housing in Morris Park is mostly one-family and two-family homes in a range of styles. In a two-family house, the boiler flue may carry exhaust for both units, so soot builds faster and the flue should be checked every year.
We sweep chimneys in Riverdale, Morris Park, Pelham Bay, Throggs Neck and Wakefield.
