Why Hempstead Village Homes Need Annual Chimney Cleaning
Hempstead Village is a quiet, tree-lined community in Nassau County with about 55000 residents. The weather here — central urban, hot summers — is perfect for cozy fires in fall and spring. But that same weather quietly damages your chimney all year long.
Homes near Hempstead Town Hall and Hofstra University often have older chimneys — some over 50 years old — with brick, stone, or clay tile liners. These need extra care. When you light short, cool fires (common in Hempstead Village), a sticky black buildup called creosote forms fast inside the flue. Just one season can coat the walls thick enough to catch fire.
Gas heating systems are common in neighborhoods like Cathedral Gardens and Uniondale Border. But even "clean" gas flues get clogged with dust, spider webs, and rust. Oil furnaces leave sticky soot that hardens like glue. If not cleaned, it blocks airflow and can push dangerous fumes back into your home.
Why You Can't Skip a Year
Fire safety experts recommend cleaning your chimney at least once a year. In Hempstead Village, we've seen chimneys go from spotless to dangerously clogged in just 12 months. A single spark in a creosote-lined flue can start a fire that spreads to your roof in minutes. Even worse: blocked chimneys can leak carbon monoxide — a silent, odorless gas that kills dozens of families every year. We stop both from happening.
What We Do When We Visit Your Hempstead Village Home
We pull up in a marked DME Maintenance van, lay down drop cloths to protect your floors, and use powerful HEPA vacuums so zero soot escapes. Every cleaning includes:
- A full sweep from top to bottom — no shortcuts
- Safety tests to make sure smoke and fumes go up, not in
- A close look at every part: the cap, the crown, the flashing, the damper, and the liner
- Before and after photos emailed to you the same day
Problems We Catch Early in Hempstead Village
Soot buildup from short fires, water stains on the ceiling, roots pushing through the crown, or a blocked flue from city dust. These small issues turn into $5,000+ repairs if ignored. We spot them early and fix them fast — often the same day.

FAQs for Hempstead Village Homeowners
How often should I have my chimney cleaned in Hempstead Village?
At least once a year — even if you only use it a few times. If you’ve had 50–70 fires or notice smoke smell inside, do it sooner. Fall is the best time before you light the first fire of the season.
Do you clean gas heating flues?
Yes — and every gas heating flue needs yearly service. We clear dust, rust, and blockages from the gas chimney system. We also test for carbon monoxide leaks that you can’t see or smell.
Are you licensed and insured to work in Hempstead Village?
Yes. We’re fully licensed in Nassau County and carry $1 million in liability insurance to protect your home and family.

Usually 60 to 90 minutes. We fit your schedule — mornings, evenings, or weekends. You don’t even need to be home.
