When it comes to keeping your home or commercial property safe and warm, most Brooklyn residents focus on the boiler itself. But the unsung hero of your heating system—the chimney or exhaust vent—is just as critical. A clean, structurally sound vent is essential for safety and efficiency.
At Brooklyn Boiler, we don't just service boilers; we provide thorough, professional chimney inspection in Brooklyn, NY to ensure your entire heating system is functioning flawlessly and safely.
For properties that use gas or oil boilers, the chimney's primary job is to expel hazardous combustion byproducts, including moisture, soot, and deadly carbon monoxide. Over time, these gases can cause two major problems:
A blockage (from creosote, debris, or a bird's nest) or a crack in the flue liner can force poisonous gases back into your living space. This is a life-threatening risk that requires immediate repair.
Damage to the chimney compromises the "draft" (airflow), making your boiler or furnace work harder, consuming more fuel, and skyrocketing your energy bills.
A professional chimney inspection by Brooklyn Boiler is the single best way to catch these issues early, preventing an emergency and saving you money on future repairs.
Our inspection process is specifically geared toward the wear and tear associated with Brooklyn's climate and the demands of modern boiler systems. We follow the industry's best practices to provide a meticulous, evidence-based assessment.
We use state-of-the-art camera equipment to inspect the entire length of the flue from top to bottom. This lets us see hairline cracks, signs of corrosion, and internal blockages that are invisible from the outside.
We examine the masonry, mortar joints, and crown. Water infiltration from a damaged chimney cap or crumbling brickwork is one of the leading causes of liner failure.
We thoroughly check the connection pipe from your boiler or furnace to the chimney. This metal pipe is prone to rust and holes, which can be a direct path for carbon monoxide to enter your home.
After the inspection, you receive a full report with photos and video evidence, outlining the chimney’s condition and clear recommendations for any necessary maintenance, cleaning, or repair.
We are your local experts, serving all neighborhoods across Brooklyn, NY. Our technicians are trained in both boiler mechanics and flue venting systems, meaning we understand the complete ecosystem of your heating unit better than a general chimney sweep.
Don't gamble with the safety of your property. Ensure your chimney is ready to perform its job all year round.
