"Dragonblood swept our chimney last November, and we’ve used it every weekend since without a single issue. The crew was careful, took their time, vacuumed up every speck of soot, and even pointed out a small crack in the liner we didn’t know about. They handled the issue right away without extra fees. Our fireplace has never been cleaner, and we finally feel safe burning wood again. Highly recommend for anyone in Lake Success who wants real craftsmanship, not a rushed job."
"I called Dragonblood after my dryer started taking two hours to dry a load of towels. Their tech showed up within 48 hours, cleared out a foot of lint from the vent, and explained why my old dryer wasn’t getting enough airflow. My clothes dry in half the time now, and I didn’t have to pay for a new vent. They’re the only chimney sweep I’ll ever use, especially since they’re local and actually care about the job."
"We bought a home in Lake Success last year, and the previous owners hadn’t swept the chimney in years. The company we used before Dragonblood gave us a basic inspection and said it was fine, but when we tried to light a fire, smoke filled the room. Dragonblood came out, did a deep clean, and found a collapsed section of the liner. They repaired it and guaranteed their work. Now our fireplace works perfectly, and we’re finally enjoying those cold winter nights without worrying about carbon monoxide."
"Our chimney had so much creosote buildup that the sweep company we used last year just scraped the surface. Dragonblood’s crew took their time, used industrial-strength equipment, and actually got the flue completely clean. They also checked our dryer vent while they were here and found a nest of mice had made it their winter home. No extra charge for the extra work, just a thorough job and a guarantee. We’ll never go anywhere else for chimney service."
"I was skeptical about hiring a chimney sweep, but Dragonblood made the whole process easy. They called ahead to confirm our appointment, showed up on time, and explained everything they were doing. After they left, my fireplace smelled fresh, and I could finally burn wood without worrying about soot everywhere. They even gave us tips on how to reduce creosote buildup in the future. Worth every penny, and they’re the only ones I’ll call next time."
"I’ve had my chimney swept by three different companies over the years, and none of them did as good a job as Dragonblood. They didn’t just blow out the obvious soot, they actually climbed up and scrubbed the flue until it was spotless. They also checked our carbon monoxide levels and found a small leak from a cracked cap. Fixed it on the spot. If you live in Lake Success or the surrounding areas, don’t waste your money on the cheap guys. Dragonblood is the real deal."
Dragonblood Chimney and Dryer Vent Inc. has been serving Lake Success and the surrounding Five Towns for years, but our reputation isn’t built on time in business, it’s built on the way we treat every job. We don’t just sweep chimneys; we restore them to a condition that makes homeowners in this area proud. Our crews arrive with the same level of preparation as if we were installing a new system: tarps down, workspaces cleared, and a focus on leaving your property cleaner than we found it. That’s not just a promise, it’s a standard we’ve held since day one, and it’s why homeowners in Lake Success call us back when their neighbors recommend someone else.

Our crews show up on time with all the tools they need, rotary brushes, vacuum systems, safety gear, and inspection mirrors. We’ll set up in your garage or driveway to minimize mess, then get to work cleaning your chimney thoroughly. No shortcuts, no rushing. We’ll also check your dryer vent if you booked that service, using a motorized brush to clear out lint from the pipe to the exterior. The whole process takes about 45 minutes to an hour for a standard sweep.
While we work, we’re also inspecting your chimney for hidden issues, like cracks, rust, or improper venting, that could turn a cozy fire into a hazard. We’ll take notes and photos, then walk you through our findings. If we spot something that needs fixing, we’ll explain it clearly and give you options. Unlike some sweep companies, we don’t just hand you a report and disappear. We’ll answer your questions right then and there.

Most chimney sweeps in Lake Success rush through the job to save time. We don’t.

That smell means creosote buildup, tar-like residue from incomplete combustion, is coating your flue. Lake Success’s humid summers and cold winters create the perfect conditions for creosote to form faster. A professional sweep removes it completely, but if you’ve had your chimney swept recently, the issue might be a cracked flue or poor draft. We’ll inspect it thoroughly and recommend repairs if needed, so you don’t have to live with that smell another winter.
A slow-heating chimney usually means creosote or soot is still clinging to the walls, or your flue isn’t sized right for your fireplace. Lake Success’s older homes often have undersized flues, which trap heat and reduce efficiency. We’ll check your chimney’s draw, measure the flue, and clean it with industrial-grade tools to restore proper airflow. If the flue is too small, we’ll advise you on upgrades before your next heating season.
Absolutely, creosote fires start in chimneys just like yours every year, even in affluent areas like Lake Success. The risk spikes when chimneys aren’t swept annually, especially after heavy use. We’ve seen firsthand how quickly creosote can ignite, turning a cozy fire into a dangerous blaze. Our inspections include a creosote level assessment, and we’ll show you exactly where buildup exists so you can prevent it. A clean chimney is your best fire safety investment.
A ‘fine’ vent inspection often means they didn’t check for hidden blockages or lint buildup deep in the ductwork. Lake Success’s hard water and high humidity make lint stick to vents faster, reducing airflow by up to 75%. We use a motorized rod to break up compacted lint and a high-powered vacuum to remove every particle. If your dryer’s still struggling after our cleaning, we’ll test the airflow with a manometer to pinpoint the issue, no guesswork.
A tune-up isn’t just a sweep, it’s a full system check. We’ll inspect your chimney cap for rust, test the damper for proper sealing, and look for cracks in the flue that let cold air in. Lake Success’s older homes often have masonry issues that go unnoticed until a fire starts. Our tune-ups include a written report with photos, so you know exactly what’s wrong and what needs fixing before winter sets in.
We specialize in targeted masonry repairs to save you the cost of a full rebuild. Lake Success’s freeze-thaw cycles accelerate brick deterioration, but we use epoxy injections and repointing to stabilize weak spots without tearing out healthy masonry. If the damage is too severe, we’ll recommend a partial rebuild, but we’ll never upsell you on work you don’t need. Our goal is to extend your chimney’s life while keeping it safe and efficient.
If the chimney’s never been swept, it’s a fire hazard, especially in Lake Success’s dry winters. Creosote buildup can ignite with just a spark, and older homes here often have hidden issues like cracked liners. We’ll perform a full inspection and sweep, then give you a timeline for follow-up visits. Skipping this step is like ignoring a smoke detector, it’s not a matter of if something will go wrong, but when.
Yes, if your chimney’s flue isn’t properly sized or has obstructions, it can disrupt the airflow needed for a gas fireplace to stay lit. Lake Success’s older homes often have flues that are too small, causing backdrafts or incomplete combustion. We’ll check your chimney’s draw, measure the flue, and clean it thoroughly. If the issue persists, we’ll test for gas leaks or venting problems before calling in a specialist.
