When we visit homes in New Rochelle, loose mortar is a reason to look at the chimney, not a diagnosis by itself. We inspect it and give you an estimate at the house. Fallen mortar is often masonry repair. A cracked slab on top is often a crown rebuild. A cracked liner is relining.
New Rochelle is full of character, from the century-old Tudors and Colonials near the North End to the homes by the Thomas Paine Cottage. Many of those houses still rely on original brick chimneys, and salt air off the Long Island Sound near Glen Island Park works on older mortar, crowns, and the joint where the chimney meets the roof.
When we visit homes in New Rochelle, we repair the part the inspection names. That may be open mortar, a cracked crown, flashing at the roof, or a firebox that has given out. We give you the estimate at the house. Learn more about New Rochelle and Westchester County, or see our chimney and fireplace repairs.
Crumbling brick, mortar that has fallen out, a stained firebox, or a crown that is split are reasons to have the chimney inspected.
Smoke that comes back into the room can point to the damper, the flue, or a draft problem. We will not recommend a repair until we have looked at the chimney.
You get the estimate at the house once we have looked.
Water is the usual cause. It gets in through open mortar joints, a failed crown, or flashing that has pulled away from the roof.
We check those parts before we recommend masonry repair, a crown rebuild, or waterproofing.
What we recommend depends on what we find. We use a camera when we need to see inside the flue, including a Level II inspection or higher.
How often you should sweep depends on how often you use the fireplace. If the flue is full of soot and the chimney is sound, the next step is a sweep and inspection.
A cracked crown or missing mortar is a repair, not a cleaning. We look at the chimney so we do not treat a structural problem like a simple sweep.
If the fireplace also needs the flue cleaned, a sweep can be part of the same visit.

Smoke that rolls back into a New Rochelle room, or an odor that stays, can come from draft trouble or a part that needs repair.
Where a New Rochelle chimney meets the roof, flashing is a common place for water to get in. This guide covers that joint.
