Local, Licensed Fireplace Repair Experts

If your fireplace is cracked, smoking into your living room, or just not working the way it should, you need a qualified fireplace repair specialist—not a quick patch. Homeowners across Westchester County, NY have trusted Mr. Chimney for decades for safe, code‑compliant fireplace repair, chimney restoration, and ongoing maintenance. From historic homes along the Hudson River to newer construction in northern Westchester, our team knows the local building conditions, weather patterns, and safety requirements that affect how your fireplace performs.

Why Fireplace Repair Matters for Westchester Homes

Fireplaces in Westchester work hard through chilly fall evenings and long New York winters, which means small issues can quickly turn into major safety hazards if they’re ignored. Common problems like cracked fireboxes, damaged liners, or loose masonry joints can allow heat, smoke, or carbon monoxide to escape into walls and living spaces instead of going safely up the flue.

A properly repaired fireplace helps Westchester homeowners:

• Reduce the risk of chimney and fireplace fires by addressing cracks, gaps, and creosote‑catching rough surfaces inside the system.
• Improve draft and reduce smoke in living areas, especially in older homes that may have shifting or settling chimneys.
• Boost heating efficiency, so more warmth stays in the room instead of being lost up a damaged or poorly designed flue.
• Stay aligned with local codes and insurance requirements that often expect regular inspections and safe operating conditions.

Common Fireplace Repair Services

Firebox repair and resurfacing

Cracked or spalling firebrick, loose mortar joints, and worn firebox walls are frequent problems in older Westchester fireplaces. Mr. Chimney repairs and refaces the firebox with high‑temperature materials designed to handle long‑term heat exposure safely.

Smoke, draft, and odor problems

If your fireplace is smoking into the room, smells like creosote, or struggles to draw properly, the cause may be a damaged liner, incorrect flue size, partial blockage, or negative pressure issues in the home. We inspect the venting system, chimney cap, and damper to correct drafting problems and restore safe performance.

Chimney liner and flue repairs

Many Westchester County homes rely on clay‑tile or metal chimney liners that can crack, separate, or corrode over time. Mr. Chimney installs and repairs stainless steel chimney liners and relines damaged flues to help contain heat and combustion by‑products safely.

Masonry and structural repairs

Freeze‑thaw cycles, wind, and age can cause chimney and fireplace masonry to crack, lean, or lose mortar. Our technicians repoint mortar joints, repair or rebuild damaged sections, and address water intrusion around the firebox and hearth.

Damper and smoke chamber repairs

A sticking or broken damper can make it difficult to control airflow and can waste energy when the fireplace is not in use. We repair or replace top‑mount and throat dampers, smooth and parge rough smoke chambers, and ensure the system is venting properly.

Gas fireplace and insert service

For homeowners using gas fireplace inserts and gas logs, our team handles installation, venting, and repair of gas units, ensuring safe operation and code‑compliant connections. We also troubleshoot ignition problems, pilot issues, and carbon‑staining around the unit.

Fireplace issues do not always appear during regular business hours. If you notice sudden heavy smoke, a strong burning odor, a chimney leak around the fireplace, or visible damage after a storm, Mr. Chimney offers 24/7 emergency fireplace and chimney repair to protect your home.

Emergency situations can include:

• Smoke backing rapidly into living spaces when the fireplace is in use.

Fireplace Repair for Older & Historic Westchester Homes

For these properties, Mr. Chimney often:

The Fireplace Repair Process: What Westchester Homeowners Can Expect

When you schedule fireplace repair with Mr. Chimney, you get a clear, step‑by‑step process rather than a guess or a quick patch job.

Inspection and diagnosis

A trained technician performs a visual inspection of the firebox, hearth, damper, chimney interior (when accessible), and surrounding structure. Depending on the situation, we may recommend a more detailed chimney inspection level and camera scan to identify hidden damage.

Clear, written recommendations

After the inspection, you receive straightforward findings, photos when helpful, and repair options prioritized by safety, performance, and budget. You will know which repairs are essential for safe use and which are optional improvements.

Code‑compliant repair work

Our technicians complete the agreed fireplace repairs using appropriate high‑temperature materials and industry‑accepted methods, keeping Westchester and regional code requirements in mind. We protect surrounding flooring and finishes and clean the work area when the job is complete.

Final check and usage guidance

Once repairs are done, we verify operation, confirm draft, and explain any care instructions so you can use your fireplace with confidence. If future maintenance is recommended, we outline a schedule that makes sense for your household’s usage.

Safety, Codes, and Certifications

In a county with dense neighborhoods and many multi‑story homes like Westchester, safe fireplace operation is not optional. Local codes and insurance carriers expect fireplaces and chimneys to be maintained in safe working order. Professional inspections and repairs help reduce the risk of:

• Chimney fires caused by creosote buildup or damaged flue surfaces.
• Carbon monoxide entering living spaces from cracked liners or blocked flues.
• Structural damage from unchecked water intrusion around the chimney and firebox.

Mr. Chimney is fully licensed and insured and follows national safety standards from organizations such as the National Fire Protection Association, which recommends annual chimney inspections and cleanings for regularly used fireplaces and heating systems. Our team brings that safety mindset to every fireplace repair project in Westchester County.

Preventive Maintenance After Your Fireplace Repair

Once your fireplace has been professionally repaired, ongoing maintenance is the most effective way to protect your investment and avoid future problems. The same conditions that damaged your fireplace in the first place—weather, usage, and time—continue to act on the system every year.

Good post‑repair habits for Westchester homeowners include:

• Scheduling annual chimney inspections and cleanings for frequently used fireplaces, or more often if you burn a lot of wood each winter.
• Watching for early signs of trouble such as new cracks, unusual odors, water stains, or changes in draft and performance.
• Using seasoned firewood in wood‑burning fireplaces to reduce creosote buildup and stress on the system.
• Keeping the damper, glass doors, and surrounding area clean and in good working order.

By pairing high‑quality fireplace repairs with routine maintenance, Mr. Chimney helps Westchester County homeowners enjoy a safer, more efficient fireplace for years to come.
