Why North Merrick Homes Need Routine Sweeps
North Merrick is just inland from the South Shore, so homes still see storm-driven moisture and high humidity that can accelerate chimney wear. Short, cool “ambiance” burns increase creosote; gas flues can corrode from condensation; oil systems leave heavy soot at elbows and near the barometric damper. Annual sweeping keeps venting safe, reduces odors, and helps avoid leaks.
