This New York chimney sweeping business has a proud tradition of serving the local communities of Troy, Brunswick and Averill Park since 1983. Dennis Broughel (now a retired Troy Fireman) was the first sweep and then Bryan Delamater took over and built his business on the premise of hard work and great customer service.
Bryan will enthusiastically exhaust all resources to find an answer to a problem or question. He likes knowing that both he and his customers can sleep well at night. He is a valuable resource for our customers and extremely well networked throughout the region.

We perform CSIA Level 1, 2, and 3 inspections and can determine chimney integrity and whether or not your particular installation and chimney system meet current safety standards. We remove dangerous, flammable creosote from inside the chimney. We then inform you of any problems we may see. Should we find a problem with your chimney we will present you with a solution to fix your chimney to ensure it meets current safety standards.
We are certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA). Their mission is "to foster public awareness of issues relating to chimney and venting performance and safety, and to promote the education of associated professionals through technical training and certification opportunities." We intend to stay right in the middle of the market.
When a chimney has physical problems or performance issues (like backdrafting), one potential solution is installing a stainless steel chimney liner. Since rebuilding a masonry chimney would be significantly more expensive, a liner is often the most cost-effective approach. Because they are often sold with long-term warranties, investing in a quality chimney liner pays off off in the long term.
Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Association recommends having your insert and venting system inspected annually and serviced by a CSIA certified chimney professional. Collar City Soot Slayer will make sure the appliance is installed properly per the code and manufacturer's recommendations. If your fireplace, stove or chimney hasn't changed and you plan to use your system as you have in the past, then a Level 1 inspection is required.

Very professional and efficient. They cleaned and inspected both chimneys in our newly purchased house and put the damper mechanism back together than had been taken apart in the previously unused fireplace. They were very thorough and friendly and I found them to be reasonably priced. I will definitely use them again and highly recommend their services.

I couldn't be more impressed! They were very professional, efficient, honest, and helpful. It was clear that they knew their stuff, while at the same time, they took the time to explain the basics to me (a fireplace novice). The price was also very, very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a chimney inspection/cleaning.
