Winter in Old Westbury is long and cold, the housing stock is old, and many chimneys were built before modern flue standards existed. This is what we actually find here, and what we check for on every visit.
Colonial and nineteenth-century homes across Old Westbury still burn in chimneys built for another era: clay flue tiles cracked by age, mortar gone soft, fireboxes worn thin. We inspect the full flue, not just the opening, and tell you plainly what is sound, what is repairable, and what is not safe to burn in.
A Old Westbury fireplace is working heat, burned night after night for months — and steady burning lays down creosote that a single hot fire can ignite inside the flue. Regular cleaning is not cosmetic here. It is the core safety service, and the inspection that comes with it catches cracked tiles before they matter.
Coastal storms drive rain and heavy wet snow straight at the chimney top, loading caps, soaking crowns and pushing water down open flues. A missing or rusted cap after a storm is not a small thing — it is how water, debris and animals get in. We check the top on every visit.
The gas insert is the dominant upgrade in Old Westbury: it drops into the old firebox, seals the drafty flue, lights by remote and turns a decorative hole in the wall back into real heat. We size, vent and install them properly, and service the first generation of inserts that are now aging.

Usually the chimney itself: a cracked crown, a failed cap, porous old brick or mortar joints opened by freeze-thaw, letting water into the masonry and out through the wall beside the fireplace. We trace the entry point from the top down and repair the source, not just the stain.
Yes — in New York it is one of the highest-value inspections a buyer can order. Sellers rarely know the flue's condition, and cracked tiles, heavy creosote or a bad conversion are all invisible from the room. You get a plain-language report on what is sound, what needs work, and what can wait.
That is usually downdraft: a tall, cold masonry flue sinks air into the room between fires, carrying soot and creosote odor with it. A top-sealing damper, a clean flue and a sound cap fix most cases. If the smell comes with soot staining or a damper that will not close, have it inspected.
A well-kept insert commonly runs for many heating seasons, and most failures along the way are parts, not the whole unit: ignition components, sensors, valves, blowers and remotes are all repairable or replaceable. We diagnose the exact part first — replacement of the full insert is the last resort, not the first quote.
Late summer or early fall, before the first real cold snap. Every neglected fireplace in Nassau County seems to fail the same week in November, and that is when every company books up. A cleaning and inspection in September means your first fire of the season is a formality, not a gamble.
No — and be wary of anyone who does. Every fireplace 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.
