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 Hicksville Homes Are Different
Hicksville’s housing stock is a mix of mid-century colonials, split levels built through the 1950s and 60s, and a growing number of newer construction Homes. The older builds almost always have masonry chimneys with clay flue liners, and those liners take a beating from Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycle. Water gets into small cracks, freezes, expands, and widens the gap. By the time a homeowner calls us, the liner often needs more than a sweep.
Proximity to the Long Island Sound means humidity rides high through summer, which accelerates creosote buildup. That’s not a scare point. It’s just the physics of burning wood near coastal air. We also see a lot of converted oil-to-gas systems in Hicksville, where the old terracotta flue was left in place. That setup can vent fine with the right liner, but it needs an inspection to know for sure. The neighborhoods off South Oyster Bay Road and around the LIRR station tend to have the highest concentration of original chimneys still in active use.
Our Main Hicksville Services
Most Hicksville homeowners call us first for one of two reasons: they either haven’t swept the chimney in years, or they smell something odd in the room when a fire is lit. Here is how each job plays out.
Chimney Sweep in Hicksville
A Chimney Sweep in Hicksville removes the creosote and soot that builds up inside the flue. In this area, the moisture from coastal air tends to make creosote stickier and harder to remove than the dry, flaky buildup you get inland. We run brushes sized to the flue, clean the smoke chamber and cap, and leave the firebox brushed out. It takes about 90 minutes on an average colonial. You get a written report on what came out and the condition of the flue.
Chimney Inspection in Hicksville
A Chimney Inspection in Hicksville is for anyone buying a home, switching fuel types, or noticing staining on the ceiling near the chimney. We run a camera down the flue and show you the footage. You see what we see. In Hicksville, inspectors most often catch cracked terracotta liners in the 1950s-60s builds and rusted damper assemblies from years of humid air. The report spells out what needs work now, what can wait, and what the price would be.
Chimney Repair in Hicksville
Chimney Repair in Hicksville covers everything from crown resurfacing to full flue relining. Freeze-thaw here is the main driver of masonry damage, and we see a lot of spalled brick on older chimneys. We use HeatShield and Gelco resurfacing systems when the original flue can be salvaged, and DuraFlex liners when it cannot. Every repair we make is covered by a written guarantee valid for a full year. If a covered repair fails inside that window, we come back at no charge.

What pushes a job toward the top of those ranges in Hicksville is usually liner condition.

Roof pitch and chimney height also factor in, but the written price you get before we start is the number you pay. No surprises at the door.
