Inspection & Care
Chimney Inspection
A full inspection of flue, liner, cap, crown, flashing and firebox — camera inside the flue, with a plain-language report of what is safe, what is not, and what can wait. In Westchester County, furnace and boiler flues share these stacks, so every flue gets inspected and reported, not just the fireplace. That is chimney inspection in Pelham, NY, done the way it should be.

Install & Replace
Chimney Cap Installation
A quality stainless cap keeps rain, birds and sparks where they belong. Fitted to your flue, secured properly, and screened against animals. Where salt air reaches the coast, stainless is the metal that survives; we will say plainly if a lesser cap will not. For chimney cap installation in Pelham, NY, one call books the visit and a local tech takes it from there.

Repair
Chimney Liner Repair
Cracked tiles, gaps at the joints, a liner that is shifting — liner faults found on camera and repaired so hot gases stay inside the Pelham flue where they belong. In Westchester County, we repair tile sections that are sound to repair and recommend relining plainly when damage runs full height. That local standard is what chimney liner repair in Pelham, NY means with Chimney Service Co.

Winter in Pelham 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.
Water enters mortar joints and crown cracks across Pelham, freezes hard, expands and pries the masonry apart a little further with every cycle. By late winter the evidence is spalling brick, open joints and leaks that were hairlines back in the fall.
A Pelham 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.
Coastal storms drive rain and wet snow sideways at Pelham 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.
Where salt air reaches Pelham - the shore towns and harbor neighborhoods - stainless caps, dampers and liner tops corrode years faster than they do inland. The failure is quiet: a seam opens, rain follows, and the flue starts taking water every storm.

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 Pelham chimneys eventually. Many cases call for liner repair or relining, which is a real fix.
Usually a cold flue. A tall masonry chimney in Pelham 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.
Not before a full camera inspection. Chimney fires crack tiles, warp metal liners and open mortar joints, often with no sign visible from the room. In Westchester County we inspect the entire flue after any chimney fire and report exactly what is damaged before anyone burns again.
Yes - in many Pelham homes the furnace, boiler or water heater vents through its own flue in the shared stack, and oil and gas liners crack, soot up and block with age. A blocked appliance flue can spill exhaust indoors, so we inspect every flue in the chimney.
Often ice and flashing working together: ice dams push meltwater against the chimney, flashing loosened by freeze-thaw lets it in, and saturated brick passes it through to the wall. The stain shows by the fireplace, but the repair belongs at the roofline and the crown, in that order.
No — and be wary of anyone who does. Every chimney fails differently, so a phone price is a guess that changes at your door. Our estimates are free: a tech looks at the actual problem, then gives you one clear price before any work starts.
