When we visit homes in Ossining, we look at the whole fireplace before we recommend a repair. A firebox with failed masonry is rebuilt. A damper that no longer seals can be replaced on its own. A cracked liner needs relining. The inspection tells us which of those your Ossining chimney needs.
Few Hudson River villages wear their history quite like Ossining. Stately Victorian homes rise along the bluffs above the waterfront, older residences line the Old Croton Aqueduct, and hillside streets still rely on original masonry chimneys and clay-tile liners. Damp, freeze-and-thaw winters work cracks into that brick and mortar.
When we visit homes in Ossining, we look at the whole fireplace before we name a repair. A failed firebox is rebuilt. A sound one can take a new damper on its own. A cracked liner is relined. We inspect the chimney and give you the estimate at the house. Learn more about Ossining and Westchester County, or see our chimney and fireplace repairs.
Yes, when the damper is the part that failed and the firebox masonry is sound. A top-sealing damper is one option.
We do not replace the damper until we have inspected the fireplace. A damper that sticks can also mean trouble in the masonry or the flue.
We use a camera only when we need to see inside the flue, or for a Level II inspection or higher.
An open chase or an open flue lets weather into the chimney. A chase cover or a chimney cap is the usual repair.
If the flue only needs the soot cleaned out, that is a sweep and inspection, not a rebuild.
We look at the top before we tell you which one it is.
Firebox masonry, dampers, flue liners, crowns, flashing, and caps are the parts we repair on a residential fireplace and chimney.
A rebuild is for a firebox that has failed. A single part is replaced when the rest of the chimney is sound.
You get the estimate at the house after we look.

GoogleAlpine Chimney Sweeps arrived on time and were patient and professional as they took the time to explain everything to me and answer any questions. They did excellent work with our chimney repair and cleaned up afterwards. Will absolutely be going to them for work in the future.

If the flue is full of soot, a sweep still makes sense even if a repair is needed too.
Smoke that rolls back into the room, or an odor that stays, can come from draft trouble or a damper that needs repair.
Water at the chimney-to-roof joint is often a flashing problem. This guide covers that joint.
Tell us what you see on the Ossining fireplace: a firebox with failed brick, a damper that will not close, smoke in the room, or water at the top. We inspect the chimney and give you an estimate at the house. The work might be masonry, a crown, flashing, a reline, or one failed part. Call 800-809-5023. Phones are answered 24/7. Hours are Monday through Saturday, 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time. Sunday is closed.
