Why Hicksville Homeowners Choose Hearthstone Chimney Co. of New York City
We’ve been driving to Hicksville since 2011, long enough to recognize the pattern. A homeowner on Stewart Avenue calls because their fireplace “doesn’t draw right.” We arrive, run the camera, and find what we expected: a 1958 split-level with a two-flue chimney where the oil-burner flue was bricked over in the basement during a 1980s conversion, never addressed with a Chimney Cap & Crown in Hicksville, now an open shaft collecting debris for forty years. This is not a surprise to us anymore. It is the work.
Hicksville homeowners tend to stay put. The houses were built well, the lots are generous by Nassau County standards, and the LIRR station keeps Manhattan accessible. People who have owned their homes for twenty-five or thirty years do not want a salesman. They want someone who will explain what the camera shows, quote a fair price, and finish the job before the weather turns. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. Most jobs are completed in a single visit. Our pricing is upfront: the number on the estimate is the number on the invoice.
We serve homeowners throughout Hicksville, from the East Birchwood area near Cantiague Park to the older ranches off Old Country Road. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise covers every cleaning and inspection in writing. If something is not right, we come back. No paperwork to file, no argument to have. We have answered the phone with a live person for over 42 years, and we plan to be in this region for thirty more.
Chimney Cleaning Services We Offer in Hicksville

From damper repair to firebox refractory panel replacement, we restore safe, efficient fireplace function. Our technicians document every condition with photos you can see and a plain-English verdict you can understand. Learn more about our Fireplace Services in Hicksville.
Chimney Cap & Crown Installation
A proper cap stops water intrusion and animal entry while allowing proper draft. We fabricate and install caps using Famco and DuraFlex components sized to your specific flue configuration, not universal fits from a hardware store.
Chimney Liner & Rebuild
When terra cotta flue tiles crack or oil-to-gas conversions leave an improperly sized flue, we offer Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Hicksville services using stainless steel liners from DuraFlex or perform partial or full chimney rebuilds. This is critical work in Hicksville’s 60-75-year-old housing stock, where original liners are at or past their service life.

Why Hicksville’s Climate & Housing Affect Chimney Cleaning
Hicksville sits in interior Nassau County, roughly ten to twelve miles from Long Island Sound, and that proximity matters more than people realize. The maritime influence brings salt-laden air that accelerates oxidation of metal chase covers and stainless steel components compared to fully inland markets like central Suffolk. Combine that with humid continental winters, repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and mortar joints in 60-75-year-old brick chimneys begin deteriorating faster than homeowners expect.
The housing stock itself tells the rest of the story. Virtually every residential chimney in Hicksville was built between 1947 and 1965, originally designed for oil burners with terra cotta flue tiles now at or past their service life. When PSEG Long Island incentives drove oil-to-gas conversions across Nassau County, many contractors retrofitted appliances without proper relining or simply abandoned flues. We routinely find cracked liners, improper flue sizing, and sealed-off oil flue openings that now pose carbon monoxide risks. The “routine” cleaning call in Hicksville often reveals something that should have been addressed decades ago. Our Level-2 camera inspection documents what we find with photos and a plain-English verdict, so you see what we see.

FAQs About Chimney Cleaning in Hicksville
A standard Level-1 chimney sweep and inspection in Hicksville typically costs between $189 and $329, depending on accessibility and the amount of creosote buildup. Level-2 camera inspections, which we recommend for homes with older flues or recent appliance changes, run $249 to $389. Call (855) 950-3861 for a free estimate with no obligation.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual inspection, with cleaning as needed based on use and fuel type. In Hicksville’s 60-75-year-old housing stock, we often find that annual cleaning is necessary due to deteriorating liner conditions that accelerate creosote accumulation. Homes converted from oil to gas without proper relining may need more frequent attention. Call (855) 950-3861 to schedule and we will assess your specific system.
Your two-flue chimney was standard for 1950s Hicksville construction: one flue served the fireplace, the other the oil burner. When heating systems were converted to gas, many contractors bricked over the oil flue opening in the basement without capping it at the crown, leaving an open, unlined shaft that drafts cold air and collects debris. This is one of the most common conditions we find during Hicksville inspections, and it requires proper closure or relining to prevent moisture damage and carbon monoxide risk. Call (855) 950-3861 for a camera inspection.
For cracked terra cotta flue tiles in Hicksville’s post-war homes, stainless steel liner installation is usually more cost-effective long-term than repeated spot repairs, which rarely address the underlying deterioration. A new liner from DuraFlex or HeatShield typically runs $2,400-$4,800 installed, while ongoing patchwork often exceeds that within a few years without solving the safety issue. We provide both options with upfront pricing so you can decide. Call (855) 950-3861 for an exact quote.
Our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and we prioritize urgent calls involving blocked flues, suspected carbon monoxide issues, or post-chimney fire conditions. For standard cleanings, most Hicksville appointments are scheduled within 48 hours. If you smell smoke in your living space or your carbon monoxide detector has activated, call (855) 950-3861 immediately and we will dispatch a technician.
