Selden’s older homes often hide dangerous chimney flaws—like deteriorated mortar joints or blocked flues—that standard sweeps miss. Our CSIA-certified chimney sweep uses video inspection technology to detect hidden issues, including carbon monoxide leaks and structural weaknesses, before they become life-threatening. We don’t just clean; we validate your chimney meets NY State safety codes, ensuring your fireplace is a source of warmth, not a fire hazard. After every sweep, you’ll receive a detailed report with photos and recommendations—so you know your chimney is 100% safe for winter use. Pro tip: If your Selden home has a wood-burning stove, we’ll also check for proper clearances to avoid wall fires.

In Selden’s older homes, flexible venting and long runs create hidden fire risks—until it’s too late. Our licensed dryer vent cleaning goes beyond surface lint removal: we disassemble the entire system, including the vent pipe behind your dryer, to eliminate combustible buildup that standard tools miss. We also test airflow to ensure your dryer operates efficiently (saving you money on energy bills). Warning sign? Your dryer takes longer than 45 minutes to dry clothes or smells like burning—that’s not normal. Our fire-safe certification means you’ll leave knowing your dryer vent is clean, clear, and code-compliant for Selden’s strict safety regulations.

Our chimney relining service uses stainless steel liners to encase damaged flues, creating a fireproof barrier that lasts decades. Unlike cheap repairs, our relining restores proper draft, eliminates soot leaks, and complies with NY State’s strict chimney safety codes. Pro tip: If your Selden fireplace smokes excessively or you hear loud roaring during use, your liner may be compromised—don’t wait for a fire to act. We offer same-day consultations to assess whether relining or repair is the safest (and most cost-effective) solution for your home.

Our stove-specific chimney sweep examines every critical component: the stove pipe connection, smoke chamber, and chimney cap for rust or blockages. We also test combustion efficiency to ensure your stove isn’t leaking carbon monoxide or unburned gases into your home. Red flag? Your Selden stove struggles to stay lit or leaves black soot on the glass—that’s a creosote emergency. We provide on-site adjustments to optimize airflow and certify your stove meets NY’s Phase II emissions standards, so you stay warm without the risk.

In Selden’s pre-1980s homes, poor ventilation, cracked heat exchangers, and improperly sized chimneys create hidden CO risks. Our certified CO testing uses high-precision detectors to scan your chimney, furnace, and dryer vent system for leaks you can’t see or smell. If we find a problem, we don’t just warn you—we fix it: sealing flue gaps, repairing rusted components, or upgrading your venting to meet NY’s strict residential safety codes. Warning sign? You or your pets experience headaches, nausea, or fatigue after using the fireplace—that’s CO poisoning. Our emergency response team is on call 24/7 for Selden residents who suspect a leak.
Request this service →Most dryer vent cleaning services only scrape lint—but in Selden’s older homes, lint isn’t the only danger. Our fire risk assessment includes thermal imaging to detect overheated vent sections, blocked pathways, and loose connections that could spark a fire. We also inspect the dryer itself for worn-out heating elements or faulty ignition systems—common in homes near Selden’s industrial zones where power surges occur. Did you know? A single gram of lint can ignite at 480°F—and Selden’s dryer vents often trap pounds of buildup. Our post-cleaning airflow test ensures your system meets NFPA safety standards, so you can run your dryer without fear. Pro tip: If your Selden dryer shuts off mid-cycle, that’s a fire waiting to happen—schedule our assessment before it’s too late.
