Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Chimney Company in Yonkers, NY
Hadley Chimney Yonkers handles chimney sweeping, chimney repair, and gas fireplace repair across Yonkers, NY. Homes here are not like the flat subdivisions further north. They’re built on hills, many predate World War II, and their chimneys often share party walls or carry multiple flues from coal-era construction. That means tighter access, older masonry, and a real need for camera documentation before anyone recommends liner work. If you’re looking for a straight answer on what your chimney needs, call us at (914) 233-3156.
Why Yonkers Homes Are Different
Yonkers housing stock runs older and steeper than most of Westchester. A lot of what we inspect in neighborhoods like Park Hill and Getty Square are three-story walk-ups from the early 1900s, many still running their original clay tile liners. Those liners were sized for coal exhaust, not modern gas appliances. Some flues are narrow enough that a stainless steel reline needs to be planned carefully, not just pulled off the truck.
Then there’s the freeze-thaw cycle. Yonkers winters repeat it all season: water sits in cracked caps and spalled brick, freezes at night, expands, and widens the damage. Nor’easters drive rain sideways into flashing that leaks the same way every time. By spring, what was a hairline crack in November is a visible masonry repair. Add humid summers to the mix and creosote (the flammable tar buildup that makes chimneys a fire risk) gets sticky, odor-heavy, and more stubborn inside flues that rarely get used. Homes here simply need more frequent, camera-backed inspections than newer construction does.
The terrain itself changes how the job works. Many Yonkers chimneys sit on rooflines that are hard to reach with a standard ladder setup, and shared-party walls mean one homeowner’s liner issue can quietly affect the unit next door. Complete liner inspection matters here more than in flatter, newer suburbs because the cost of guessing wrong is a fire hazard behind a wall you share with someone else.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Yonkers Services
Most homeowners in Yonkers call us for one of three things. Each has its own page with local pricing, process detail, and Yonkers-specific FAQs.
Chimney Sweep in Yonkers
A sweep here is rarely a quick brush-through. Tight access on hillside lots and older flues mean we spend more time setting up correctly and verifying the full flue path with a camera before and after. The goal is to remove creosote buildup that Yonkers homes accumulate during humid summers and heavy fireplace use, then document the result with photos you can actually see. For a full breakdown of what a sweep includes and what it costs, visit our Chimney Sweep in Yonkers page.
Chimney Repair in Yonkers
Freeze-thaw spalling, cracked crowns, leaking flashing, and deteriorated mortar joints are the common calls we get across Yonkers. The repair conversation here always starts with video evidence from inside the flue. You should not take a liner recommendation on faith when the chimney runs through a shared party wall or three stories of framing. Written pricing comes before any work starts. Read more about repair scope and guarantee terms on our Chimney Repair in Yonkers page.
Gas Fireplace Repair in Yonkers
Gas fireplaces in pre-war Yonkers homes often run through original chimneys that were never designed for gas venting needs. Ignition failures, sooting, and draft problems are common. Our techs diagnose the fireplace itself and also confirm the vent path is moving exhaust properly. Every diagnosis includes photos and a written price before parts are ordered. Full details are on our Gas Fireplace Repair in Yonkers page.

Here’s what Yonkers homeowners can expect to pay on a typical job. These figures include access, inspection, and cleanup, and are the numbers we quote from before we arrive.

What pushes price up in Yonkers is usually access. A three-story walk-up on a hillside needs different ladder and rigging work than a two-story single-family home on a flat lot. Multi-flue chimneys also cost more to inspect and clean because each flue gets its own camera pass. Whatever the price, we put it in writing before work begins. No surprises when the technician is already on the roof.

Most routine sweeps, inspections, and repairs like repointing or cap replacement don’t require a permit. Larger structural work or full liner replacements may, depending on the scope and the building. We’ll tell you plainly what falls on which side before work begins, and we won’t recommend a repair that requires a permit without walking you through what that means.
Yes. If the camera inspection during a sweep shows damaged clay liner tiles, missing mortar joints, or water entry, we document it, share photos, and provide written pricing for the repair on the spot. We can often handle the repair that same visit if parts are in the truck. That’s the practical benefit of camera-backed inspection: you see what we see, and you decide with facts, not pressure.
