Regular chimney sweeping is the single most impactful thing a Wantagh homeowner can do to stay safe. Our certified sweep technicians use professional-grade rotary brushes, HEPA-filtered vacuums, and video inspection tools to clear every layer of soot, creosote, and debris from your flue. We document baseline conditions during each visit so we can spot drift between cleanings — a small crack that wasn't there last season tells us a lot. We follow NFPA 211 guidelines and leave your home spotless. Annual sweeping is recommended for any fireplace used even occasionally; wood-burning systems that see regular use may benefit from a mid-season check as well. Call (347) 516-0691 to schedule.

A Level I inspection covers accessible components and is ideal for unchanged, regularly maintained systems. A Level II inspection — required when you sell a home or after a chimney fire — includes video scanning of the entire flue interior. Level III involves exploratory work where concealed damage is suspected. For Wantagh homes, we frequently find mortar joint erosion and liner deterioration caused by the area's freeze-thaw cycles. Every inspection report is written in plain English with photos, so you know exactly what needs attention now versus what to monitor going forward.
Request this service →A compromised chimney liner is one of the most underestimated hazards in Long Island homes. The liner contains combustion gases and transfers heat safely to the outside; when it cracks, spalls, or gaps, carbon monoxide and heat can migrate into living spaces. Eds & Sons installs flexible stainless steel liners, rigid stainless sections, and cast-in-place liners depending on your flue's geometry and your appliance type. We size liners to match your specific heating appliance — oversized or undersized liners both degrade performance and safety. Our liner work comes with a written warranty, and we pull all required permits. Wantagh homeowners switching from oil heat to gas frequently need liner upgrades; we handle those transitions smoothly from start to finish.
Request this service →The chimney crown is the concrete or mortar cap that seals the top of your masonry chimney around the flue tile, and it takes a relentless beating from rain, ice, and UV exposure on Long Island. A cracked crown lets water funnel directly down between the liner and the masonry, accelerating freeze-thaw damage season after season. Eds & Sons repairs failing crowns with elastomeric crown sealant on hairline cracks, and replaces severely damaged crowns with properly sloped, overhang-designed concrete crowns. We also install and replace stainless steel chimney caps — the first line of defense against rain, birds, and squirrels entering your flue. Investing in crown and cap maintenance now consistently prevents far more expensive masonry repairs down the road.
Request this service →South Shore winters and the salt-laden coastal air around Wantagh create a particularly aggressive environment for chimney masonry. Mortar joints absorb moisture, freeze, expand, and eventually crumble — a process called spalling. Left unaddressed, spalling mortar leads to loose bricks, leaning chimney stacks, and ultimately structural failure that can threaten the roof and home below. Eds & Sons' tuckpointing team carefully removes deteriorated mortar to the correct depth, matches mortar composition and color to your existing brickwork, and finishes joints to a weather-shedding profile. We also address individual spalled or cracked bricks and apply penetrating water repellent sealers where appropriate. Early tuckpointing typically costs a fraction of a full chimney rebuild — routine masonry checks make that an easy investment to justify.
Request this service →Clogged dryer vents are responsible for thousands of residential fires across the country every year, and Wantagh homes are no exception. Lint accumulates in duct bends and transitions with every load, progressively restricting airflow until the dryer overheats. Eds & Sons cleans dryer vents from the interior connection through to the exterior termination cap, using flexible auger brushes and high-powered compressed air to dislodge compacted lint. We inspect the duct for prohibited materials, improper slope, and excessive length while we work. Signs you're overdue: clothes taking two or more cycles to dry, a hot laundry room, or a burning smell during operation. We recommend annual cleaning for households running four or more loads per week. This service pairs conveniently with your annual chimney sweep.
