You should know a few things about fireplaces and chimneys in Westhampton Beach, NY. Do you know how to make your chimneys as efficient as possible? We at Ageless Chimney recommend using a professional chimney sweep whenever possible, but you should also have some common knowledge on hand as well. With these tips for chimney cleaning and chimney maintenance, you can avoid costly chimney repairs.

What Type of Chimney do You Have?

Not all chimneys are created equal! Being aware of what type of chimney you have will help you when you are trying to keep your chimney and fireplace working their best. There are three main types of chimneys. They are:

Single-Walled Metal: These are usually found in older homes and look like a thin metal pipe that sticks up from the roof. They also have a round top.

Masonry: Masonry chimneys are considered to be the safest for the home. Masonry chimneys are standard brick and come with a liner pre-installed to make sure all smoke is vented properly.

Prefabricated Metal: These are chimneys that are made out of metal and are usually found in commercial buildings.

Check Your Flue Regularly

The flue is the venting system for your chimney. It is basically a pipe found on the interior of your chimney liner that allows smoke and the other gasses that build up during the course of the fire to safely exit your home. It is very important that you check it regularly. If your room gets a bit too smoky during a fire, you may need to get your flue cleared. You should also make sure that your flue is always open prior to starting a fire.

Make Sure You Have a Chimney Liner

Chimney liners protect your home from the heat and flammable materials produced by a fire. In unlined chimneys, the heat of a fire can rise too quickly and cause nearby belongings to catch flame. Liners provide an extra barrier.

If you plan to purchase a chimney liner, size is the most important element. A properly-sized liner will effectively allow combustible materials to safely exit your home. However, if it is too large or small, there is a greater chance of a buildup of carbon monoxide.

Put a Cap On Your Chimney

One of the easiest and most affordable, elements to your chimney maintenance is a chimney cap. Chimney caps are vented pieces of metal that sit inside the top of your chimney and prevent unwanted materials from coming inside your fireplace, while still letting the smoke escape. Chimney caps also keep heavy rains from seeping down inside your chimney and potentially causing leaks. They are also great for keeping animals from nesting inside your fireplace during the colder months.

As always when hiring for a job, you want to make sure that your chimney sweep comes with glowing references. However, you’ll also want to check that he or she carries the proper insurance. Doing so could save you from financial responsibility in the event of a fall or other work-related accident. This is why contacting Ageless Chimney in Westhampton Beach, NY would be the best solution to your Suffolk County chimney issues.

Clear Your Hearth Regularly

It is always a good idea to keep your Suffolk County hearth clean, but not just for aesthetic reasons. Before you decide to light a nice warm fire, be sure to move any valuable items from the mantle. Fire can be unpredictable, so it is smart to clear the hearth of anything that could light on fire. This also prevents unwanted debris from going up into the chimney.

Buy The Right Detectors

Sometimes you may not know if there is unwanted debris or smoke coming into your Suffolk County home from the chimney. One of the best things you can do to keep informed of any toxic smoke is to have your home equipped with proper smoke detectors. Always be sure that you have smoke and carbon monoxide detectors installed. While having a fire going is very pleasant, the safety of you and your loved ones is paramount!

Getting your chimney swept and inspected improves the quality of the air in your home, keeps your loved ones safe from toxins, and reduces your home’s fire risk. Ageless Chimney takes pride in providing the safest, most cost-effective cleaning procedures. Call us today at 516-795-1313!

Westhampton Beach is an incorporated village in the Town of Southampton, in Suffolk County, on the South Shore of Long Island, in New York, United States. As of the 2010 census, the population was 1,721.

The village of Westhampton Beach was incorporated in 1928. In 1938, almost all summer homes on its barrier beach were obliterated by a hurricane resulting in twenty-nine local deaths.

Like most of the shoreline of southern Long Island, the beach at Westhampton Beach was eroding shoreward. This became a political issue in the 1960s. The project to protect the beaches in the area from further erosion was started by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1966, but was only partially completed because of the failure to secure funds from the state and local government. In addition the project design was seriously flawed. As a result, there was increased erosion at the beaches in Westhampton Beach while, up current, the beaches actually grew. During the late 1970s and through the 1980s, beach homes were washed away with every severe storm (nor’easter) that hit the coast. It was only after the nor’easter of November 1992 destroyed over eighty homes, that the Army Corps of Engineers began renewed repair efforts. In the mid-1990s, fifteen historic houses were relocated by the Army Corps of Engineers. The homes were moved off the beach and out of harm’s way, at least for a while, but the beach is still eroding and addition damage is incurred with every storm. Additional work was required after Hurricane Sandy in 2012.
