Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

Why White Plains Homes Are Different
White Plains housing stock runs older than most of Westchester’s newer developments. Streets like Mamaroneck Avenue and North Broadway are lined with brick and stone chimneys built before modern liner standards, and many have been through decades of freeze-thaw cycles that crack mortar joints from the inside out. The city’s mix of single-family colonials, split-levels, and prewar apartment buildings means one White Plains chimney can be a simple terra cotta flue while the next one runs a stainless liner through three stories. We see more creosote buildup from shoulder-season fires here than in colder inland towns, because homeowners light smaller, cooler fires and let them smolder. That is exactly the condition that produces sticky, glazed creosote that a basic sweep will not remove. At higher elevations around Saxon Woods and the hills near the county center, wind-driven backdrafts push smoke into living spaces more often than most homeowners expect. We test for that on every visit.
Our Main White Plains Services
Most White Plains homeowners call us for two things: a chimney sweep before burn season, and a chimney inspection when they are buying or selling a house. The three services below each have their own White Plains page with full detail.
Chimney Sweep in White Plains
A Chimney Sweep in White Plains removes creosote, soot, and any debris that has fallen or nested inside the flue. In White Plains specifically, we look for squirrel and raccoon activity because the older roofs and mature trees along roads like Old Mamaroneck Road and Gedney Way give animals direct access to uncapped chimneys. A sweep takes about 60 to 90 minutes for most White Plains homes. We run a video camera through the flue when there is any question about what remains, so you see the result instead of taking our word for it.
Chimney Inspection in White Plains
A Chimney Inspection in White Plains is the shortest path to knowing exactly what is above your firebox. White Plains home sales, especially in neighborhoods like Rosedale and Highlands, routinely trigger inspection requests from buyers and from homeowners insurance carriers. We follow three levels of inspection, from a basic visual check to a full camera survey of the flue interior. Every inspection ends with a written report, and when we recommend repair work, we attach the video footage so you can see the reason yourself.
Chimney Repair in White Plains
Chimney Repair in White Plains covers everything from repointing loose mortar joints to relining a cracked flue. White Plains homes with original brick chimneys often need crown repair after winters where snow sits, melts, and refreezes across the top of the chase. We write the scope, the materials, and the price before any work starts, and every repair is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If a covered repair fails within one full year, we come back and fix it at no charge.
