The 1960s and 70s ranch homes off Bicycle Path and the cape cods near Hawkins Road were built when oil heat dominated central Brookhaven. Those chimneys have stories to tell, and we’ve learned to read them.

Why Selden Homeowners Choose Hearthstone Chimney Co.

We’ve been called to homes on Magnolia Drive where the clay tile liner had turned to powder, and to properties near Selden Plaza where a fuel conversion from oil to gas left an oversized flue dripping with condensation. After 42 years in this business, we don’t guess. We document what we find with camera photos you can see, deliver a plain-English verdict, and put our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing.

Two things matter to the homeowners we serve in Selden. First, that we show up when we say we will. Second, that the number on the estimate matches the number on the invoice. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians complete most jobs in a single visit, and our phones are staffed by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail. No callback queue.

We’ve built our reputation in neighborhoods like Suffolk Hill and the streets west of Middle Country Road by doing the thing correctly and standing behind it. That’s the Keystone Standard, and it hasn’t changed since 1984.

Chimney Cleaning Services We Offer in Selden

Chimney Cleaning & Sweep

Our standard sweep removes creosote buildup, bird nests, and debris from the flue using professional-grade brushes and vacuums. We finish with a Level-1 visual inspection to confirm safe operation. Learn more about our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Selden.

Chimney Repair

Freeze-thaw damage from Selden’s harsh nor’easter cycles cracks mortar joints and spalls brick faces on chimneys built in the 1960s and 70s. We repoint, rebuild, and restore using materials from Olympia Chimney and Copperfield that match the original construction. Learn more about our Chimney Repair in Selden.

Fireplace Services

Whether you burn cordwood from a local Suffolk County supplier or run a gas insert, we inspect the firebox, damper, and smoke chamber for proper draft and clearances. Our technicians service both masonry and prefabricated units common in Selden’s split-level homes. Learn more about our Fireplace Services in Selden.

Chimney Cap & Crown Installation

A proper cap keeps rain, animals, and wind-driven debris out of your flue. We fabricate and install crowns and caps using Famco and Copperfield components that withstand the salt-laden air coming off Long Island Sound.

Chimney Liner & Rebuild

This is where Selden’s housing history matters most. Many chimneys here were sized for oil-fired boilers and never relined after conversion to gas. We install stainless-steel liners from DuraFlex that properly vent lower-temperature exhaust, eliminating condensation damage and carbon monoxide risk.

Why Selden’s Climate & Housing Affect Chimney Cleaning

Selden sits far enough inland that some homeowners assume coastal weather spares them. It doesn’t. The salt-laden air pushed inland by Atlantic nor’easters reaches central Brookhaven, and over forty or fifty years it accelerates mortar deterioration on chimneys that were never designed to face it. Add the aggressive freeze-thaw cycles that follow every winter storm, and you get the cracked crowns and spalled brick faces we document weekly on inspections.

The housing stock compounds the problem. Selden’s dominant 1960s-1970s-era ranch and cape cod homes were built during central Suffolk County’s suburban boom, most with single-flue masonry chimneys designed specifically for oil-fired furnaces. When Suffolk County’s aggressive oil-to-gas conversion swept through, many homeowners changed the appliance but never changed the chimney. The result is a defining service need that sets Selden apart: chimneys now venting lower-temperature gas exhaust through flues that are oversized, unlined, and silently condensing moisture inside the walls. Our Level-2 camera inspections catch this combination regularly. It’s dangerous, it’s invisible from the ground, and it’s exactly why we recommend a documented inspection before any heating season.

Clay tile liners installed in 1965 were never meant to handle the acidic condensation produced by modern gas appliances. We’ve pulled fragments of those liners from Selden chimneys that appeared sound from the outside. Photos you can see, a plain-English verdict. That’s how we work.
