Our thorough chimney sweep service goes far beyond a quick brush-through. Technicians use professional-grade rotary cleaning systems and HEPA-filtered vacuums to remove all stages of creosote buildup — the leading cause of residential chimney fires — along with soot, ash deposits, and any debris blocking your flue. Before we begin, we seal off your firebox to protect your Port Washington home's interiors from dust contamination. Every sweep includes a visual check of the firebox, damper, smoke shelf, and accessible flue tiles so we catch emerging problems early. You'll receive a plain-language written summary of our findings. Same-day appointments are often available, and our pricing is flat-rate with no hidden fees — just cleaner, safer burning from the very next fire you light.

A Level 1 inspection covers all accessible components and is recommended annually for systems in continued service. A Level 2 inspection — required when selling a Port Washington home or after a chimney fire — includes video scanning of the entire flue to detect hidden cracks, deteriorated liner sections, and code violations. A Level 3 inspection addresses concealed areas when serious hazards are suspected. Our inspectors document every finding with photographs and video stills, producing a detailed report you can share with your insurance carrier or real estate attorney. Understanding what's inside your chimney is the first step toward preventing carbon monoxide intrusion and structural fires — and we explain every finding in plain English.

Without an intact liner, superheated combustion gases and sparks can contact combustible framing and transfer carbon monoxide directly into living spaces. Eds Brothers Chimney installs flexible stainless steel liners, rigid stainless sections, and cast-in-place liners for masonry chimneys — each solution sized precisely to your appliance's BTU output and flue dimensions per NFPA 211 guidelines. We also repair cracked clay tile liners using industry-approved resurfacing compounds where replacement isn't necessary. Every liner installation includes a written warranty, and our technicians pull any required local permits so your upgrade is fully code-compliant. Liner work also improves draft efficiency, meaning better combustion and lower heating bills.

A missing or cracked chimney crown allows water to pool directly on the flue tiles, while an uncapped chimney invites rain, birds, squirrels, and leaves into your flue — all fire and blockage hazards. Eds Brothers Chimney fabricates and installs stainless steel and copper chimney caps custom-fitted to your flue dimensions, and we rebuild deteriorated crowns using high-temperature hydraulic cement rated for harsh coastal exposure. Waterproofing sealant applied to the masonry body completes the defense, penetrating the brick without trapping interior moisture. Addressing crown and cap damage early is far less expensive than repointing the entire chimney stack after prolonged water intrusion.
Request this service →The firebox is the frontline of your home's fire containment system, and even small cracks in the refractory panels or mortar joints create pathways for combustion gases — including odorless carbon monoxide — to migrate toward your home's framing and living spaces. Eds Brothers Chimney's masons assess firebox damage with the same NFPA standards used for full chimney inspections, then rebuild using UL-listed refractory mortar and replacement panels rated for sustained high-heat exposure. We restore deteriorated smoke chambers with parged smoke-chamber coatings that improve draft and eliminate ledges where creosote accumulates. For Port Washington homes with historic masonry fireplaces, we match original brick profiles wherever possible. All firebox work is performed with the damper system inspected simultaneously, because a stuck or warped damper compounds both heat-loss and gas-spillage risks significantly.

Lint bypasses the trap filter over time, accumulating inside the duct and at the exterior termination cap — creating a highly flammable blockage that also forces your dryer to run longer and hotter, increasing both fire risk and energy costs. Eds Brothers Chimney uses flexible rotary brush systems and high-powered vacuums to clear the entire duct run from appliance to exterior cap, regardless of duct length or number of elbows. We also inspect the duct material itself — many older Port Washington homes still have foil accordion flex duct that current codes prohibit — and can reroute or replace non-compliant sections. Most cleanings take under an hour with zero mess.
