Winter in Highland Falls is long and hard, the housing stock is old, and many chimneys predate modern liner standards entirely. This is what we actually find here, and what we check on every visit.
A Highland Falls fireplace is often real heat, burned nightly for months, and steady burning in a cold masonry flue lays down creosote layer on layer. That buildup is the fuel in a chimney fire, which is why annual sweeping here is safety work, not housekeeping.
Some older New York chimneys were built with no liner at all, and others carry liners that stop short or crack at the joints. Hot gases and sparks reach mortar and framing through those gaps, so the camera inspection comes before the first fire, not after.
Coastal storms drive rain and wet snow sideways at Highland Falls chimney tops, tear at caps and soak crowns that are already cracked by freeze-thaw. After a big storm, the cap, crown and flashing all deserve a look before the next fire gets lit.
A chimney fire can crack flue tiles and warp metal liners without leaving much evidence in the room - the fire burns up, not out. Any chimney in Orange County that has had one needs a full camera inspection before it is used again, without exception.

Once a year at minimum for a fireplace in regular use - and after about every cord of wood burned, whichever comes first. Highland Falls fireplaces work for months in a cold flue, and creosote builds steadily the whole season. The sweep and inspection together are the safety check.
Serious enough to fix before another winter. Mortar is the sacrificial layer that keeps water out of the brickwork, and freeze-thaw in New York opens failed joints fast once they start. Repointing sound brick is a repair; waiting until bricks loosen and shift turns it into a rebuild.
Not until a tech has seen how extensive the cracking is. Tiles are the barrier between hot gases and the masonry and framing behind them, and hard freeze-thaw cracks them in most older Highland Falls chimneys eventually. Many cases call for liner repair or relining, which is a real fix.
Usually a cold flue. A tall masonry chimney in Highland Falls holds heavy cold air that pushes down until a fire warms the flue, so the first minutes spill smoke. Creosote narrowing, a stuck damper or a missing cap make it worse. We check the whole path before suggesting fixes.
