In June 2015, we received an emergency call from a Brooklyn three-family dwelling. Smoke also known as “puff back”, was pouring into the building, caused by multiple blockages in their chimney system – these blockages, which accumulated after years of neglect within the chimney could have damaged a large majority of the house.
The Always Affordable Chimney crew could have accessed the chimney through standard “tile knocking” on the inside to clear out the debris in the terracotta chimney, but due to the poor condition of the chimney, entering inside the building would result in more smoke and soot releasing into the living spaces, putting the home and families at risk.
Always Affordable Chimney found a safer method of tearing a hole from the outside and into the chimney. As our employees are also experts in masonry, the chimney and wall were patched up following the insertion of a new, custom made 9″ oval stainless steel liner. As the leading Suffolk County chimney company, that’s the kind of professionalism and expertise you can expect.
