About this service
Fireplace repair focuses on the firebox, dampers, and hearth components rather than the exterior stack. You should call for help if your damper is stuck, the firebrick inside the hearth is cracked, or if you smell smoke when the fireplace is in use. These repairs ensure that your fireplace is safe to use and functions efficiently. Keeping your hearth in good shape prevents potential fire hazards and improves the draft of your chimney system.
Summer is the quietest time for chimney work, making it the perfect opportunity to schedule repairs without the seasonal rush. Technicians have more flexibility to handle masonry work, cap installations, or flue liner replacements. Getting your maintenance done while the weather is dry ensures you are ready the moment the first chilly night arrives.

Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance?
In many cases, chimney damage caused by sudden and accidental events, like a lightning strike or a chimney fire, may be covered by homeowners insurance in Yonkers.
