Regular chimney sweeping is the single most important thing you can do to prevent chimney fires and carbon monoxide intrusion. Our certified technicians use professional-grade rotary brushes, HEPA-filtered vacuums, and drop cloths to thoroughly clean your flue from firebox to crown — without leaving a speck of soot in your Brooklyn home. We remove all levels of creosote buildup, clear bird nests and debris, and inspect for obvious damage as we work. Most cleaning appointments take 60–90 minutes. We recommend annual sweeping for wood-burning fireplaces and every two years for gas appliances. Our pricing is transparent with no surprise add-ons, and every sweep includes a basic visual inspection at no additional charge.

A Level 1 inspection — recommended annually — covers accessible portions of the flue and exterior. A Level 2 inspection is required when selling a home, after a chimney fire, or when changing fuel types, and includes video scanning of the flue interior. A Level 3 inspection involves partial structure removal and is reserved for suspected hidden damage. Our technicians document every finding with photos, explain the results in plain language, and provide a written report you can share with your insurance company or real estate agent. We never recommend unnecessary work.

Many brownstones and rowhouses were built without proper liners or have clay tile liners cracked from decades of thermal cycling. Davids Chimney installs premium stainless steel liner systems sized precisely to your appliance for optimal draft and efficiency. We also repair or reline existing systems compromised by spalling tile, mortar deterioration, or prior chimney fires. Every liner installation includes a written warranty on both materials and labor. Our technicians follow manufacturer specifications and local building codes, and we can pull any required New York City permits on your behalf to keep your project fully above board.
Request this service →Water is a chimney's worst enemy, and in Brooklyn's wet climate — with nor'easters, heavy spring rains, and freeze-thaw cycles — an unprotected or damaged chimney cap and crown can cause thousands of dollars in damage within a single season. Davids Chimney supplies and installs stainless steel and copper chimney caps that keep rain, snow, birds, and squirrels out of your flue year-round. We also repair and rebuild deteriorated chimney crowns using professional-grade hydraulic cement and elastomeric sealants built to withstand New York winters. A properly installed cap and restored crown dramatically extend the life of your liner, flue tiles, and firebox. We inspect both components on every service visit and provide free quotes for any needed repairs.

Davids Chimney's repair technicians are skilled masons and fireplace specialists who handle everything from minor firebox repointing to complete smoke chamber restoration. We replace deteriorated cast-iron dampers with energy-efficient top-mount models, rebuild smoke shelves, and repair or replace damaged firebox panels. Brooklyn's older homes often have fireplaces that haven't been properly serviced in decades; we approach each one with care and craftsmanship. All repair work comes with a written labor warranty, and we source only high-temperature, code-compliant materials rated for fireplace environments.

Lint accumulates in the vent duct over time, restricts airflow, causes your dryer to overheat, and creates ideal conditions for ignition. Davids Chimney's technicians use professional rotary brush systems and high-powered vacuums to thoroughly clear your dryer vent from the appliance connection to the exterior termination cap — even in the long, complex duct runs common in Brooklyn apartments and rowhouses. Signs you're overdue: clothes taking more than one cycle to dry, a burning smell, or excessive heat on the dryer cabinet. We recommend annual cleaning for households doing four or more loads per week. Service is fast, clean, and affordably priced.
