One chimney, several flues
Large older houses rarely have just one flue. A single brick chimney can hold three or four separate passages. One serves the living room fireplace, another a bedroom hearth upstairs, and another the furnace in the basement. Each one is its own job, and each can be in a different state.
Before sweeping, we work out which flue goes where. It sounds simple, but in a house that has been altered over many years it often is not. Then each flue in use is swept and looked at on its own. Flues that are no longer used are checked to see that they are capped and closed off properly.
- Every flue identified and matched to its fireplace or appliance
- Each working flue swept on its own
- Shared chimney walls checked for gaps between flues
- Unused flues checked for caps and blockages
- One clear report covering the whole chimney
Planning a visit to Goshen
Because Goshen is at the far side of our service area, we group visits there where we can. Booking a week or two ahead gives you the best choice of days. If a repair comes out of the sweep, we will explain what it involves and schedule it as a separate trip.
Selling or buying a house? A Level 2 camera inspection is the standard check when a property changes hands. Ask for it when you book.
About the village
Chimneys in Goshen, NY
Goshen is the seat of Orange County. The village was settled in 1714 and incorporated in 1809, and about 5,800 people live there now. It is known for the Historic Track, a harness racing track from 1838 that is still in use, and for a courthouse built in 1841. Village offices and local rules can be found through the Village of Goshen.
A county seat with three centuries behind it has streets of substantial old houses. Tall brick chimneys with decorative tops are part of that look. They are also harder to maintain. A tall stack catches more weather, and ornate brickwork has more joints where water can get in. Upper fireplaces in these houses were often closed long ago, leaving flues that nobody has looked at in years.
Work on a property inside a historic district may need to follow village rules on exterior changes. Sweeping and interior lining do not alter the outside, but it is worth checking with the village before any visible masonry work.

Goshen chimney sweep questions
Is Goshen too far for you?
No, but it is at the edge of our normal area. We schedule Goshen visits in advance and confirm the appointment before the day.
Do I pay per flue?
Each flue is a separate sweep, so the price depends on how many are in use. We agree the price with you before starting.
How can I find out how many flues my chimney has?
Count the clay tiles or openings at the top, or let us do it. We map the flues as the first step of the visit.
Are you insured to work on tall chimneys?
Yes. The company is licensed and insured, and our technicians are CSIA certified.
