Chimney Cleaning in Massapequa
Regular chimney cleaning is an important part of maintaining a safe and properly functioning fireplace or heating system.
Creosote, soot, debris and other material can accumulate inside a chimney. Animals and birds can also create obstructions when a chimney is not properly protected. During a professional cleaning, our technicians inspect the chimney system and look for conditions that could affect its safety or performance.
Always Affordable Chimney recommends that chimneys be inspected at least annually, even when they are used only occasionally. Cleaning should be performed when the condition of the chimney and amount of buildup indicate that it is needed.

Chimney Repair and Masonry in Massapequa
Long Island weather can be hard on masonry. Rain, snow, freezing temperatures and repeated temperature changes can contribute to deterioration of brick and mortar.
A small crack or deteriorating mortar joint should not automatically be ignored. Water entering the chimney structure can lead to progressively more expensive damage.
Our chimney repair services include masonry restoration, repointing, waterproofing, flashing repair, chimney rebuilding and other repairs.
If you notice loose bricks, cracked mortar, pieces of masonry on your roof or ground, or water appearing around the fireplace, it is a good time to have the chimney inspected.
Chimney Liners in Massapequa, NY
The chimney liner is a critical component of the chimney system. An older or damaged liner may require repair or replacement depending on the appliance, chimney construction and condition.
Always Affordable Chimney installs stainless steel chimney liners and also offers FuranFlex chimney lining systems for appropriate applications. Video camera technology can be used to examine the inside of the chimney and help determine its condition.
If your home has an older chimney or you are converting a heating appliance, ask us about having the chimney and liner evaluated.
