Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

AfterChimney Cleaning & Sweep Near You in White Plains, NY
If you’re searching for our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep services near you in White Plains, Hearthstone Chimney Co. has been answering that call since 1984. We send a background-checked, uniformed technician to your door, complete most sweeps in a single visit, and back every job with our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
A clean chimney isn’t optional when you’re burning wood through a Westchester winter. Creosote Removal is critical because creosote builds up faster than most homeowners expect, and a blocked or dirty flue is one of the leading causes of house fires in this region. If your fireplace sat idle all summer and you’re planning your first fire of the season, now is the right time to call us at (914) 603-1360 – a live person picks up every hour of every day, including weekends and holidays.
We serve White Plains and the surrounding communities across Westchester County: Harrison, Tarrytown, Rye Brook, Port Chester, Pleasantville, Irvington, Hartsdale, and beyond. If you’re within a reasonable drive of White Plains, the answer is almost certainly yes – we cover your area.
Fast, Local Chimney Cleaning & Sweep
When a homeowner in White Plains calls Hearthstone, we work to get a technician on-site within one to two business days for standard sweep appointments – and same-day service is available when the schedule allows. We don’t run you through a callback queue or ask you to fill out a web form and wait. You call (914) 603-1360, a real person answers, and you get a straight answer about availability on the spot.
Most chimney sweeps in White Plains and the surrounding Westchester towns take under two hours from arrival to cleanup. We bring drop cloths, a HEPA-filtered vacuum system, and professional-grade brushes sized to your flue. Our technicians are uniformed and background-checked, and they leave your hearth cleaner than they found it thanks to thorough Fireplace Cleaning. Upfront pricing means the number you hear on the phone is the number on the invoice – no add-ons at the end of the job.
For homeowners who want more than a basic sweep, we pair every cleaning with a Level-2 camera inspection. You get to see the photos. You get a plain-English verdict on what we found. No guessing, no vague language, no upsell pressure – just a clear picture of where your chimney stands.
Areas We Cover
Hearthstone Chimney Co. is based in the White Plains area and runs crews throughout Westchester County. We regularly work in Harrison, Rye Brook, Port Chester, Hartsdale, Tarrytown, Irvington, Pleasantville, and dozens of communities in between. Our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in White Plains service page covers the full scope of what we do for homeowners in the city itself – but if you’re a few towns over, the same team, the same standards, and the same 90-Day Done Right Promise apply.
Westchester chimneys share a common set of challenges. The climate here puts serious seasonal pressure on masonry: freeze-thaw cycles from November through March crack mortar joints and deteriorate crowns faster than in milder regions. Many of the older homes in Harrison, Tarrytown, and Irvington have original clay tile liners that haven’t been inspected in years. We know this territory. We’ve been working these streets since 1984, and the problems we find are rarely surprises to us.
- White Plains, NY – our home base; most appointments scheduled within one to two business days
- Harrison – regularly serve homes in both the village and the town
- Tarrytown & Sleepy Hollow – many older colonials and Tudor-style homes with original masonry systems
- Rye Brook & Port Chester – active service area; call to confirm same-day availability
- Pleasantville & Irvington – northern Westchester runs scheduled weekly
- Hartsdale – close-in to White Plains; same response time applies

What’s Included in a Professional Chimney Sweep
A lot of homeowners aren’t sure what they’re actually paying for when they schedule a chimney cleaning. Here’s what Hearthstone includes on a standard sweep visit in White Plains and the surrounding area:
- Full chimney sweep using rotary brushes and professional-grade equipment matched to your flue dimensions
- HEPA vacuum system to capture soot and creosote before it settles in the room
- Visual inspection of the firebox, damper, smoke chamber, and flue
- Check of the chimney cap and crown for visible damage or deterioration
- Plain-English report on what we found – verbally on-site, and documented if you request it
- Optional Level-2 camera inspection with photos you can see before we leave
We use professional-grade brushes and equipment – no hardware-store substitutes. When repairs are needed, we work with materials from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield. These aren’t builder-grade options. They’re the materials a sweep who intends to be accountable for the result would choose.
If you’re due for a chimney cap or crown repair, or if the inspection turns up a liner issue, we can typically address it on the same visit or schedule a follow-up quickly. Our goal is to close the loop in one trip when possible.
Pricing for Chimney Cleaning in White Plains
Chimney sweep pricing in the White Plains market typically runs between $150 and $350 for a standard cleaning and visual inspection. The range reflects the size of the flue system, the level of creosote buildup, and whether a Level 1 Inspection or Level-2 camera inspection is included. Homes in older neighborhoods – particularly those with large colonial fireplaces or multi-flue systems common in parts of Harrison and Tarrytown – often fall toward the higher end because the job takes longer.
| Service | Typical Range (White Plains area) |
|---|---|
| Standard chimney sweep (single flue) | $150 – $250 |
| Sweep with Level-2 camera inspection | $225 – $350 |
| Seasonal Tune-Up (special offer) | $89 flat |
| Additional flue (same visit) | $75 – $125 per additional flue |
Our $89 Seasonal Tune-Up is a standing offer – not a bait price with hidden fees attached. If we find something that warrants additional work, we tell you plainly, quote you the number before we start, and let you decide. We also offer $50 off any repair over $250, a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans, and a Free Second Opinion on any written estimate you’ve received from another company.
The number on our estimate is the number on the invoice. That’s not a slogan – it’s how we’ve run this company since Russell Haines founded it in 1984.
Why Homeowners in White Plains Choose Hearthstone
There’s no shortage of chimney sweep companies advertising in Westchester. Some are price-cutting chains that rotate technicians and don’t carry consistent accountability from one visit to the next. Others are single-truck operators who do good work but may not be available when you need them or may not stand behind a job if something goes wrong six weeks later.
Hearthstone sits in a different position. We’ve been in this market for over 42 years. We plan to be here for thirty more. That shapes how we do the work: we document every inspection with photos, we back every job with the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing, and we answer the phone at 2 a.m. if you call. Not a voicemail. Not a callback queue. A person.
The K.E.Y.S. values code – Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it – isn’t marketing language. It’s the operating standard Russell Haines built this company on, and it’s what every technician who goes out under the Hearthstone name is held to.
A few things that set us apart in practice:
- Level-2 camera inspections with photos you actually see before we leave
- 90-Day Done Right Promise – in writing, no paperwork, no arguing
- Live person on every call, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
- Background-checked, uniformed technicians – every time
- Professional-grade materials only: DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, Copperfield
- Upfront pricing – the estimate is the invoice

A Note on Safety
Chimney cleaning looks simple from the outside, but a poorly executed sweep can do real damage. Creosote that’s pushed into the firebox instead of extracted properly is a fire hazard. A cracked flue tile that gets missed during inspection can allow carbon monoxide to migrate into living spaces. These aren’t theoretical risks – they’re the kind of problems we find when a homeowner calls us after a lower-cost provider left something undone.
We’re not saying every DIY chimney cleaning causes problems. But if you haven’t had a professional inspect your flue in more than a year – or if you’ve bought a home in White Plains or a nearby Westchester community and you don’t know the inspection history – a professional sweep with a Level-2 camera inspection is the right starting point. The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual chimney inspections for a reason.
If an inspection turns up a liner issue, a deteriorated crown, or any other condition that affects the safety or function of your chimney system, we’ll tell you plainly what it is, what it costs to fix, and what happens if you leave it alone. That’s the honest conversation you deserve before any work starts.

What Our Customers Say
"Knows the trade and did not oversell me. He is not much of a talker, so if you want the detail you have to ask directly. Once I did, he was thorough about it."
- Kevin Tran"Drop cloths everywhere, a HEPA vac running the whole time, and not a speck of soot on the carpet. I had been dreading the mess for nothing."
- Danielle Norris"The crown was cracked and taking water. He repaired it rather than quoting a rebuild, which the previous company had pushed hard for."
