What Mount Vernon Homeowners Get Wrong About Chimney Sweeps (And Why It Matters)
Most Bronx-area homeowners assume a ‘chimney sweep’ is just a quick vacuum job—but creosote buildup, hidden cracks, or improper drafts can turn a routine sweep into a fire hazard. At Porcupine, we start with a full inspection (not just a surface clean) to spot issues like rusted caps or blocked flues before they become costly repairs. In Mount Vernon’s older homes, where brick chimneys often hide moisture damage, this step is critical. Learn more about our inspection process—and why skipping it could leave your family at risk during winter. Pro tip: If your Bronx fireplace smokes after lighting, that’s not normal—it’s a sign of a blocked flue or poor draft, both fixable during your sweep.
