Starting this month, Donny Chimney Inc is bringing our certified chimney sweep services to New Haven, CT. Residents can now book inspections and cleanings with our Hamden-based team, ensuring safer fireplaces and code-compliant systems before the winter season.
Why New Haven homes need a chimney sweep this fall
With colder nights settling in, New Haven homeowners are firing up their fireplaces—but many don’t realize how quickly creosote builds up in older masonry. A thick layer of creosote is a silent fire hazard, especially in homes near Hamden’s tree-lined streets where moisture and soot combine. Our team now serves New Haven with Level 2 inspections to check for cracks, blockages, or carbon monoxide leaks that could put your family at risk. Schedule a sweep before the first frost hits, and ask about our free carbon monoxide tests—critical for homes with oil furnaces or wood stoves. Book your inspection today.

Should Hamden-area homeowners wait for winter to schedule a chimney cleaning?
If you’re in New Haven and haven’t had your chimney cleaned since last year’s holiday gatherings, don’t wait for the first snowfall. Creosote hardens like tar in cold weather, making it harder to remove—and increasing the risk of a chimney fire. Our Hamden-based crew now serves New Haven with brushes and vacuums designed to tackle even the toughest buildup. Plus, a fall inspection can catch issues like a cracked flue liner before you light the first fire of the season. Learn what a Level 2 inspection covers.
