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 Woodmere, NY
Woodmere’s older colonials and Tudors need a chimney company that understands what decades of Nassau County winters do to masonry. We’re Alcott Chimney Sweep, and we work on the original brick chimneys that define so many homes here, built from the 1920s onward. Cold winters with nor’easters mean heavy fireplace use, and that means creosote, the tar-like buildup that causes chimney fires, accumulates faster than homeowners expect. Call (518) 719-4643 for a straight answer and a written price before any work begins.
Why Woodmere Homes Are Different
The housing stock in Woodmere tells the story. Large, older colonials and Tudors with central brick chimneys were built for a different era of heating, and many original flues lack modern liners. That raises the stakes for every sweep and inspection. Humid summers cause efflorescence, that white mineral staining on brick, and mortar deterioration. Winters drive the heaviest fireplace use, which is why we see rapid creosote accumulation by February. And in spring, raccoons find their way into uncapped flues, drawn by Woodmere’s mature trees. A clean flue isn’t just about performance here. It’s about knowing what’s actually happening inside brick that’s been standing for a very long time.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Woodmere Services
Most Woodmere homeowners call us for one of three things: a thorough sweep, a camera inspection, or gas fireplace repair. Each has its own page with exact details.
Chimney Sweep in Woodmere
A sweep in Woodmere often means removing more creosote than a homeowner expects, particularly after a heavy burning season. We use professional-grade brushes and vacuums sized for older flues, and we check for animal nesting while we’re there. Raccoons in uncapped chimneys are a real spring problem here, and a sweep is when we usually find them. Written price first, always. Full details on the Chimney Sweep in Woodmere page.
Chimney Inspection in Woodmere
An inspection on an older Woodmere home usually means running a camera up a flue that has never had one. That’s how we find cracked clay liners, gaps in mortar joints, and hidden animal damage before they become chimney fires or carbon monoxide problems. You see the photos yourself. Nothing gets recommended without visual evidence. Full details on the Chimney Inspection in Woodmere page.
Gas Fireplace Repair in Woodmere
Many Woodmere colonials and Tudors have gas inserts or log sets that get heavy use all winter. We service and repair most major gas fireplace brands, and we stock common parts locally so a repair doesn’t mean waiting weeks. Pilot won’t stay lit, glass sooted over, or a unit that shuts off on its own, those are all familiar calls. Full details on the Gas Fireplace Repair in Woodmere page.

What Woodmere Customers Say
"Annual inspection and sweep. He used a camera to check the liner and found a cracked tile I had no idea about. Gave me a written estimate and did not push."
- Janet W."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.
