Count On Northeastern Masonry & Chimney for the Best Chimney Inspections in Corinth
The Catskill area of New York is rich in history and offers four seasons of entertainment and recreation. Native Americans called Catskill “Onteora,” meaning “land in the sky,” and it truly lives up to its name. This outdoor paradise boasts mountains to explore by bike, foot, and horseback, making it a haven for adventurers.
Life in the Catskills is filled with charm, thanks in part to the historic homes that make this area so unique. Many of these homes feature timeless fireplaces and chimneys that add warmth and character, but they also require regular care to stay in top shape. Routine chimney maintenance is essential to protecting these structures, as the unique designs and materials found in older chimneys can be more prone to wear over time. Staying on top of inspections and upkeep helps prevent issues like leaks, blockages, or structural damage, so you can continue enjoying cozy fires and the beauty of your home for years to come.

Why Is Yearly Chimney Maintenance Important?
There are two primary reasons why it is crucial to have your chimney and fireplace cleaned and inspected annually: to prevent fires and to stop toxic gases from entering your home. When creosote has built up, or there are nesting animals or debris inside your fireplace and chimney, there is a risk of the accumulated materials igniting or even exploding.
Your chimney flue is designed to vent smoke, toxic gases, and soot outside your home. However, when cracks, clogs, and leaks are present in your venting system, these poisonous gases can enter your home.
When you call Northeastern Masonry & Chimney, you can have peace of mind knowing that we have removed accumulated buildups and conducted a thorough inspection to ensure your flue is venting properly. If a problem is identified, you will be especially glad you called us.
How Often Should I Schedule Chimney Maintenance?
Most experts recommend scheduling chimney maintenance, including inspections and sweepings, at least once a year. This ensures your system remains safe, efficient, and free from potential hazards like creosote buildup or blockages. For those who use their fireplace more frequently or burn wood that produces excess soot, additional maintenance may be needed so be sure to check with our chimney technician when they’re onsite for your chimney inspection. Regular care not only extends the life of your chimney but can also prevent expensive repairs down the road.

Do Gas Fireplaces Require Chimney Maintenance Too?
Gas fireplaces need routine chimney maintenance as well. While they don’t produce as much soot as wood-burning units, gas fireplaces can still leave behind debris, moisture, or corrosive byproducts that need to be addressed. Regular chimney inspections help identify issues like blockages, venting problems, or wear and tear in the chimney or flue. Staying on top of maintenance helps keep your gas fireplace working safely and efficiently year after year.
