Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Chimney Company in North New Hyde Park, NY
Alcott Chimney Sweep is the chimney company North New Hyde Park homeowners call when they want straight answers and a technician they can verify before the truck arrives. Homes here run older than most of Nassau County, and that matters: original masonry fireplaces, clay-tile liners, and decades of Long Island dampness all change how a chimney should be cleaned and inspected. If you need a sweep, an inspection, or a gas fireplace repair, call (518) 719-4643 and you’ll get a live person, not a voicemail tree.
Why North New Hyde Park Homes Are Different
North New Hyde Park’s housing stock skews toward mid-century colonials and split-levels from the 1950s and 1960s, plus a solid number of 1920s and 1930s homes with original brick chimneys. Those older flues were often built without a proper cap or damper, and many still have clay-tile liners that have been absorbing moisture for 40, 60, or 80 years. Long Island’s damp, cold winters push that moisture into mortar joints, and every freeze-thaw cycle works the bricks a little further apart. What we see most often on North New Hyde Park calls is creosote that has mixed with moisture into a thick, tar-like coating that ordinary brushing won’t fully remove. That is the exact condition that leads to sluggish drafts and chimney fires, and it is why we treat every job here as its own assessment rather than a one-size-fits-all sweep.

Our Main North New Hyde Park Services
The three services North New Hyde Park homeowners call us for most are chimney sweeping, chimney inspection, and gas fireplace repair. Each has its own page with pricing, timelines, and what to expect, so use the links below to go straight to the service you need.
Chimney Sweep in North New Hyde Park
A Chimney Sweep in North New Hyde Park clears creosote, soot, and the nests we frequently find in uncapped flues. Given the age of many local chimneys, our technicians pay particular attention to the smoke chamber and damper area, where buildup hides and restricts airflow even when the flue looks passable from below. You’ll know the technician’s name and see their photo before we arrive, and every sweep comes with a written price before any work starts.
Chimney Inspection in North New Hyde Park
A Chimney Inspection in North New Hyde Park is the right call when you have not used the fireplace in years, when you have just bought the house, or when water stains show up on the ceiling near the chimney. We use camera inspection and a photo report so you can see the flue condition yourself, and we explain the difference between a liner that needs attention and one that can wait. Nothing gets recommended without visual evidence you can review with us.
Gas Fireplace Repair in North New Hyde Park
Gas Fireplace Repair in North New Hyde Park covers units that have been idle through the summer and will not light, smell odd when they do, or cycle on and off without staying lit. Many local homes added gas inserts to fireplaces originally built for wood, and those conversions need their own set of checks for venting, ignition, and gas line condition. Every repair gets a written guarantee, and if it fails within the coverage period, the second visit is free.

What North New Hyde Park Customers Say
"The report he wrote up had pictures and clear notes for the insurance. That alone was worth it."
- Garrett I."Good chimney cleaning. They found a small gap in the mortar and quoted the repair, which was a bit more than I wanted to spend. Did the sweep and left the repair for later without any pressure."
- Stuart L."Great sweep, very tidy. The only gripe is the appointment window was wide and I waited in the morning. Once he arrived the work was fast and thorough."
- Rita S.
