Professional chimney sweep & dryer vent cleaning done right — for Hauppauge and beyond.
Armadillo Chimney and Dryer Vent Company provides chimney sweep & dryer vent cleaning services in Hauppauge, including chimney sweep (wood/biomass fireplaces), dryer vent cleaning (lint & fire hazard removal), chimney inspection (pre-purchase or annual), and more. Every job is handled by licensed, insured technicians with upfront written pricing, and backed by a workmanship guarantee — free estimates for all of Hauppauge and nearby areas.
Hauppauge’s humid summers and cold winters mean your chimney works harder than most—especially if you’re new to wood-burning. A chimney sweep isn’t just about cleaning; it’s about spotting early warning signs before they become costly repairs. Our crew uses brushes, vacuums, and cameras to clear creosote (the sticky, flammable tar that builds up from smoke) and check for rust, animal nests, or deteriorating mortar. After we’re done, your fireplace will draft better, burn cleaner, and—most importantly—be far less likely to spark a chimney fire. We’ll even show you what we found so you know exactly what’s been fixed. Our team is fully licensed, fully insured, and stands behind every job with a 30-day warranty—because your home’s safety matters.

If your dryer takes forever to dry clothes, overheats, or smells like burning, your vent is likely clogged with lint—an invisible fire hazard. Our dryer vent cleaning in Hauppauge includes a full inspection of the vent path (inside walls, outside the house, and up to the roof vent) to remove every trace of lint and debris. We use high-powered vacuums and rigid rods to clear blockages, then test airflow to ensure your dryer runs safely and efficiently. Unlike quick fixes, we don’t just clean the vent opening; we trace the entire system to prevent future buildup. Free estimate, and we’ll explain exactly what we found.

Our inspections go beyond a cursory look: we check for cracked flue tiles, corroded dampers, improper clearances (a common issue in older homes), and hidden creosote levels that could ignite. We also verify that your chimney meets current NYS building codes—something many sellers overlook. For existing homeowners, an annual inspection catches problems early, like a small crack that could turn into a costly repair. We’ll give you a clear report with photos and recommendations, so you’re never left guessing. Licensed, insured, and we’ll even point out energy-saving upgrades.

If your chimney has dark, sticky residue (Stage 1), tar-like glaze (Stage 2), or hard, glassy chunks (Stage 3), it’s past time for a basic sweep. We use rotary cleaning tools and high-temperature vacuums to remove even the toughest deposits safely, without damaging your flue. Stage 3 creosote is especially dangerous—it can ignite at lower temperatures than wood—and we’ve seen it in older Hauppauge homes where chimneys were neglected for years. After cleaning, we’ll show you the before-and-after and explain how to reduce future buildup (like burning hotter, drier wood). Our work is guaranteed, and we’ll schedule a follow-up if needed.

Our chimney relining service installs a new stainless steel liner that’s corrosion-resistant and built to last decades. We’ll inspect your existing flue first to determine the best solution, whether it’s a full reline or targeted repairs. This is especially important for homes near Hauppauge’s older neighborhoods, where masonry chimneys may have been installed decades ago with subpar materials. A relined chimney also improves draft and efficiency, so your fireplace burns cleaner. We use only premium materials and stand by our work with a 5-year warranty.

We don’t just clean—we repair and reinstall dryer vents to manufacturer specs, ensuring proper airflow and compliance with NYS codes. Our techs spot issues like crushed foil ducts (a hidden hazard in many homes) or vents that dump lint directly into attics. After repairs, we test airflow with a manometer to confirm your dryer is safe and efficient. Whether your vent was damaged during a remodel or never installed correctly, we’ll make it right. Free estimate, and we’ll explain the repair in plain terms—no confusing technical terms.
