In June 2015, we received an emergency call from a Brooklyn three-family dwelling. Smoke also known as “puff back”, was pouring into the building, caused by multiple blockages in their chimney system – these blockages, which accumulated after years of neglect within the chimney could have damaged a large majority of the house.
The Always Affordable Chimney crew could have accessed the chimney through standard “tile knocking” on the inside to clear out the debris in the terracotta chimney, but due to the poor condition of the chimney, entering inside the building would result in more smoke and soot releasing into the living spaces, putting the home and families at risk.
Always Affordable Chimney found a safer method of tearing a hole from the outside and into the chimney. As our employees are also experts in masonry, the chimney and wall were patched up following the insertion of a new, custom made 9″ oval stainless steel liner. As the leading Suffolk County chimney company, that’s the kind of professionalism and expertise you can expect.

“You have professional and polite service men! They gave me some helpful tips about how to use my fireplace and really educated me about the chimney cleaning process. "
Theanks for completing the job. By the way, I've already been referring you to my friends. Your service techs were the most professional vendors I've had at my house in so long. It was a pleasure doing business with you. The stainless steel liner you installed was significantly less expensive than the other two quotes I received. Thank you for your honesty.
