Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Chimney Company in Yorkville, NY
Yorkville’s chimneys carry more history than most: original 19th-century masonry stacks built for coal and wood, many without terra cotta liners, all of them facing one more season of freeze-thaw cycles and wet Adirondack-adjacent weather. Kindling Chimney Sweep approaches every Yorkville job with that history in mind. We are a full-service chimney company serving Yorkville, NY, offering chimney sweeping, inspection, and fireplace repair, each backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (607) 695-6218 for a written, upfront estimate before any work begins.
Why Yorkville Homes Are Different
Yorkville sits in the Mohawk Valley, where cold, snowy winters and spring rain put real stress on masonry. The freeze-thaw cycle is the culprit behind most of the spalling and cracked brick we see here. Water seeps into small gaps, freezes, expands, and pries brick apart. By the time a homeowner notices a flake of mortar on the ground, the damage has usually been building for a season or two.
What makes Yorkville genuinely different is the age and construction of its housing stock. Much of the village is a mix of 19th-century frame homes and early 20th-century brick structures. Their chimneys often run through narrow, unlined flues that were sized for coal or open wood fires, not today’s high-efficiency appliances. Many of these stacks still function, but they cannot be treated like a modern chimney. An inspection that assumes a standard liner will miss exactly the problem Yorkville chimneys are most likely to have. That is why we always look at the flue, not just the firebox, when we work on the older homes here.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Yorkville Services
Most Yorkville homeowners call us for two things: a seasonal sweep before the first fire of the year, and an inspection when something looks or smells off. All three of our services are described below, each with its own dedicated Yorkville page.
Chimney Sweep in Yorkville
A proper sweep in Yorkville means more than running a brush up the flue. The older masonry chimneys here often have uneven mortar joints and offset flue tiles, which collect creosote in ways a standard round flue never does. We remove the creosote and soot buildup, contain the dust with drop cloths and shoe covers before we start, and take a photo of the clean-up before we leave. Pet-safe products are used where there is a choice. If your Yorkville chimney has not been serviced in a couple of years, this is the place to start. Chimney Sweep in Yorkville
Chimney Inspection in Yorkville
Yorkville’s older homes are exactly where an inspection earns its keep. We run a camera through the flue to check for cracks, spalling, missing mortar, and the kind of hidden damage that comes from decades of use. That camera evidence is yours to see. We never ask you to take our word for a liner problem; we show you the footage. Given the freeze-thaw cycles here, we recommend a look before heating season, especially if you upgraded to a high-efficiency furnace. Chimney Inspection in Yorkville
Fireplace Repair in Yorkville
Older Yorkville fireplaces were often built without a proper smoke shelf or with shallow fireboxes, which can create drafting problems that newer appliances never have. We repair fireboxes, replace dampers, rebuild crowns, and reline flues using professional-grade materials from brands like Copperfield and Olympia Chimney. Every repair starts with a written price, and every repair is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it is not done right, we make it right. Fireplace Repair in Yorkville

What Yorkville Customers Say
"We have a toddler and a cat and the tech was great about keeping doors closed and not leaving tools out. Cleaned the fireplace spotless and left a photo of the finished flue."
- Perry Osei"Careful and clean from start to finish. He wore booties inside and taped off the hearth. Explained what was safe to burn and what wasn't, calm and no pressure."
- Marcus Halvorsen"Good careful work. The only hiccup was the inspection report took a few days to arrive by email, but I just had to ask once. The sweep itself was spotless."
- Simone Beckett
