Bohemia’s chimneys take a beating: damp spring air, hardwood fires, and that infamous L.I. humidity all turn creosote into a sticky, flammable nightmare. Our rotary brush sweeps (not just push brooms) blast through stubborn tar buildup, while our HD camera inspection spots cracks or blockages before they become emergencies. We don’t just ‘sweep until it looks clean’—we clean until the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards are met. Pro tip: If your chimney’s over 10 years old, we’ll flag corrosion or mortar joint failure before it turns into a $5K repair. No upsells, no surprises—just a chimney that’s actually safe to use.
Request this service →Bohemia’s older homes (and even newer builds) hide dryer vents that become death traps—lint builds up faster than you’d think, especially with those long, winding routes behind walls. Our rigid-rod cleaning (not just a vacuum hose) shreds compacted lint and checks for sharp bends or crushed ducts that restrict airflow. Here’s the kicker: A clogged vent doesn’t just waste energy—it can overheat your dryer’s motor in minutes. We’ll leave you with a vent flow test to prove we didn’t miss a spot. (And yes, we’ll tell you if your dryer’s too old to be safe.)
Request this service →New York State law requires an inspection before lighting a fireplace after a sweep—but most sweeps just wave a camera and call it a day. We don’t. Our Level 2 inspection (the gold standard) checks for creosote stage, flue blockages, crown corrosion, and even carbon monoxide risks from improper drafts. Bohemia’s old masonry chimneys (think: 1920s brickwork) are prone to hidden cracks—we’ll spot them with our thermal imaging before they turn into a chimney fire. Bottom line: If your sweep doesn’t include this, you’re paying for a half-job.
Request this service →That ‘pinging’ sound from your wood stove? It’s not just annoying—it’s a sign of excessive creosote buildup in the burn pot or flue. Our crew disassembles and cleans the stove’s internal components, checks gasket integrity, and ensures your stove’s draft is pulling correctly (a common issue in Bohemia’s humid climate). Pellet stoves? We clear the auger system and inspect the heat exchanger for soot buildup—because a clogged pellet stove can overheat and crack in hours. Bonus: We’ll show you how to adjust your stove’s air intake for cleaner burns, saving you firewood and future sweep costs.
Request this service →Found a glowing ember in your fireplace? Or worse—smoke billowing out the flue when you light up? That’s not normal, and it’s not safe. Our emergency response team arrives with fire extinguishers, thermal cameras, and a full cleanup crew to remove charred creosote and damaged liner before it spreads. Here’s the hard truth: Most chimney fires start from untreated Stage 2 creosote—the kind that looks like black tar. We’ll inspect your chimney after the fire to ensure it’s structurally sound, and we’ll schedule a follow-up sweep to break down the remaining creosote. No chimney should ever be ‘good enough.’
Request this service →Bohemia’s older homes often have dryer vents tucked behind siding or under decks, where moisture and pests chew through the metal. If your vent’s crushed, separated at seams, or rotted from humidity, a simple cleaning won’t cut it—you need a metal reline. We install flexible stainless steel venting that resists corrosion and restores proper airflow. Why wait until your dryer’s on fire? We’ll also check for improper vent routing (a common DIY mistake) that traps heat and lint. Pro move: Ask us about vent termination caps to keep critters out of your system.
