Oil, gas and wood have all heated White Plains homes over the decades, and many chimneys carry a flue for each era - some lined, some tired, some quietly cracked. We sort out what you actually have, on camera, before recommending any work to you at all.
Your information is kept private and used only for your chimney service request.
The six services White Plains homeowners call us for most - from a flue heavy with a winter of creosote, to mortar opened by hard freeze-thaw. Everything on this page is chimney in White Plains, NY — the work, the local conditions and the coverage.
Sweep & Cleaning
Chimney Sweep
The full professional sweep: rotary brushes scrub the flue from top to bottom while a HEPA vacuum keeps every speck of soot sealed in — the visit that keeps a chimney safe to burn in. In Westchester County, where many flues serve both a fireplace and a furnace, the sweep report covers the whole stack. Chimney Sweep in White Plains, NY runs on one standard: done properly, checked, and shown to you before we leave.

Sweep & Cleaning
Chimney Cleaning
A cold masonry flue sweats soot and odor all summer, so the clean covers the smoke shelf, damper and firebox as one job. Creosote, soot and ash removed from the flue, smoke shelf and firebox — the deep clean that kills the campfire smell and the fire risk with it.

Chimney Repair
Any chimney, any problem — leaks, cracks, crumbling brick, bad draw. If the chimney has had a fire, the camera findings come first and the repair plan follows them, not the other way around. Diagnosed on camera first, then repaired properly with the right materials. That is chimney repair in White Plains, NY, done the way it should be.

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 local standard is what chimney inspection in White Plains, NY means with Chimney Service Co.

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. Booking chimney cap installation in White Plains, NY takes one call, and the tech arrives with everything the job needs.

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 White Plains flue where they belong. A tight liner also restores draw, so some smoking fireplaces in older homes trace back to tiles, not the firebox. Chimney Liner Repair in White Plains, NY is one call away, every day of the week.

Winter in White Plains 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.
Ice dams at the roof edge push meltwater under shingles and against chimney flashing all winter in Westchester County. The leak that shows by the fireplace in February often starts at frozen flashing, not the flue - and it returns every thaw until it is fixed.
Coastal storms drive rain and wet snow sideways at White Plains 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 tall exterior chimney in a White Plains January holds a column of heavy cold air that sinks into the room between fires, carrying creosote smell with it and making the first fire smoky. A clean flue, sound damper and right cap solve most of it.
Where salt air reaches White Plains - 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.

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 White Plains chimneys eventually. Many cases call for liner repair or relining, which is a real fix.
Usually a cold flue. A tall masonry chimney in White Plains 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.
Late summer or early fall, before heating season. Every neglected chimney in Westchester County seems to surface the same week in October, and that is when schedules fill. A sweep and inspection in September means your first fire is routine instead of a gamble on an unchecked flue.
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.
