Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

Areas We Cover Near Huntington, NY
Hearthstone Chimney Co. provides Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Huntington and throughout the surrounding communities on Long Island’s North Shore. Our service area includes:
- Huntington – including the village center and surrounding neighborhoods
- Huntington Station – residential side streets and older colonial-era homes with aging masonry flues
- Cold Spring Harbor – where older waterfront homes often have wide, multi-flue stacks that need careful liner inspections
- Greenlawn – a mix of ranch homes and split-levels, many built in the 1960s with original clay tile liners
- South Huntington – dense residential streets with a high share of oil-heat conversions, where abandoned flues need to be verified safe before wood-burning resumes
- Oyster Bay – a historic area with a strong concentration of pre-WWII homes, many carrying original brick fireboxes and deteriorating mortar joints
- Oyster Bay Cove – larger lots, larger fireplaces, and the salt-air exposure that accelerates crown and cap deterioration faster than most homeowners expect
- Bayville – a coastal village where we regularly see moisture-driven spalling on exterior chimney chases and salt deposits inside terra cotta flue tiles
If you’re just outside this list, call (631) 776-4075 and ask – we may well cover your street. We’d rather tell you directly than have you guess.

What Chimney Cleaning Typically Costs in Huntington, NY
Chimney cleaning in the Huntington market generally runs between $149 and $299 for a standard single-flue sweep and visual inspection. The range depends on flue height, how long since the last cleaning, and whether the firebox shows creosote buildup beyond a Stage 1 deposit. Homes in Cold Spring Harbor and Oyster Bay Cove with taller, wider stacks often land at the higher end because the work takes longer and requires additional equipment setup.
| Service | Typical Range (Huntington Area) |
|---|---|
| Standard chimney sweep (single flue) | $149 – $249 |
| Sweep with Level-2 camera inspection | $199 – $299 |
| Dryer vent cleaning (added to chimney visit) | $89 – $129 |
| $89 Seasonal Tune-Up (current standing offer) | $89 |
These are ranges, not guarantees – every chimney is different. The number Hearthstone gives you before the work starts is the number on the invoice. That’s how it works here. Call (631) 776-4075 for an exact quote; estimates are free.
We also offer a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans, and $50 off any repair over $250. If you’ve already gotten a written estimate from another company, ask about our Free Second Opinion – sometimes a second set of eyes changes the picture significantly.
Why the Camera Inspection Matters
A sweep without a camera is a judgment call made in low light. Our Level-2 camera inspections run the full length of the flue and produce photos the homeowner can actually see – not a verbal summary, not a checkbox on a form. You get a plain-English verdict: this is what we found, this is what it means, this is what we recommend and why.
In Huntington and the surrounding townships, we see a consistent pattern in homes built before 1975: the original clay tile liner has developed hairline cracks, usually from thermal cycling over forty or fifty years of use. These cracks don’t fail dramatically – they let carbon monoxide seep slowly into living spaces or allow heat to reach combustibles inside the wall. They’re invisible to a mirror-and-flashlight inspection. The camera finds them. That’s the difference between a cleaning and a documented inspection, and it’s why we don’t skip the camera step on homes with aging flue systems.
If repairs are needed, we use HeatShield for resurfacing and DuraFlex or Gelco liner systems where a full reline is warranted – professional-grade materials, not builder-grade substitutes. And all of it is covered by the 90-Day Done Right Promise.
Important note on safety: Cracked liners, heavy creosote buildup (Stage 2 or 3), and damaged fireboxes are not DIY territory. The consequences of a chimney fire or carbon monoxide leak are serious. If you have any doubt about your chimney’s condition, call a trained professional before you use the fireplace. We’re available at (631) 776-4075 every day, at any hour.
What to Expect When You Call Hearthstone
You’ll reach a live person. Not a recording, not a text-back system. Someone who knows our schedule, knows our service area, and can answer a plain question with a plain answer.
When the technician arrives, they’ll be in a Hearthstone uniform and they’ll have passed a background check. They’ll assess the fireplace and flue before they start, walk you through what they’re doing and why, and clean up completely before they leave. Most residential chimney sweeps are finished in under two hours.
After the visit, you’ll receive a written summary of the inspection findings and a copy of your 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something wasn’t done to standard, you call us and we come back. No paperwork hassle, no back-and-forth. That’s what standing behind the work actually looks like.

What Our Customers Say
"The crown was cracked and taking water. He repaired it rather than quoting a rebuild, which the previous company had pushed hard for."
- Rashad Jackson"Creosote buildup was worse than I realized. He measured it, put a camera up to show me the glazing on the flue, and was honest that we were closer to a chimney fire than I wanted to hear."
- Mark Bennett"Swept it, capped it, and fitted a proper damper. The downdraft smell we had lived with every summer is gone."
- Allison Doyle
