Chimney Repair in Yonkers, NY

If your Yonkers fireplace or chimney has a damaged part, we repair it. An inspection shows whether the problem is in the firebox, the flue, or the masonry around them.

What We Find on Yonkers Chimneys

When we visit homes in Yonkers, we often find the chimney needs one repair, not every repair at once. We inspect it, then replace the part that failed or rebuild the section that has crumbled. That can be the firebox, the flue liner, the damper, the crown, or the brick itself. Smoke in the room and water marks on the firebox are different problems, and the inspection shows us which one you have.

  • ▶ Fireplace rebuilding when the firebox masonry has broken down
  • ▶ Relining when tiles have cracked or the liner is missing
  • ▶ Yonkers masonry repair for spalled brick and open mortar joints
  • ▶ Damper replacement, including a top-sealing damper, when the throat damper no longer seats
  • ▶ Crown rebuilds and flashing repair when water is the complaint

Chimney Repair Across Yonkers' Varied Homes

Yonkers housing varies from block to block. Ornate flues in the historic homes of Park Hill, colonials and multi-family houses around Nodine Hill and Getty Square, and riverfront residences near the Hudson RiverWalk all age differently. Freeze-and-thaw winters open mortar, and a damper or liner that no longer seats shows up as smoke in the room.

When we visit homes in Yonkers, we repair the one part that failed, or rebuild the section that has crumbled, and we give you the estimate at the house. If the flue mainly needs a cleaning, see our Yonkers chimney sweeping service. See the towns we serve in Westchester County, and our chimney and fireplace repairs.

Chimney and Fireplace Repair Questions

Will You Rebuild the Fireplace or Replace One Part?

Either one, depending on what the inspection shows. Replacing one part covers a damper, a cap, or another single piece. Rebuilding and relining are for a firebox or flue that has broken down.

If the chimney is sound and only one part has failed, we replace that part. You get an estimate at the house after we look.

We bring a camera when we need to see inside the flue, including a Level II inspection or higher.

What Do You Look at Before Recommending a Repair?

We look at the masonry, flue liner, damper, crown, cap, and flashing. Poor draft, smoke in the room, and water stains can come from different parts.

We find the cause before we suggest rebuilding, relining, or a smaller replacement. A sweep alone will not rebuild a crown or replace a failed liner.

If the flue only needs a cleaning, the right visit is a sweep and inspection.

Can a Chimney Cap or the Flashing Be Repaired on Its Own?

Yes, when that is the part that failed and the rest of the chimney is sound.

A missing cap lets weather into the flue. Flashing that has pulled away from the roof lets water in where the chimney meets the roof.

The inspection tells us whether that single repair is enough.
