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.

AfterMeet the White Plains Team Behind Level Two Chimney White Plains
We’re a local crew, not a rotating cast. The technicians who inspect your flue in White Plains are the same people you’ll see at the hardware counter on Mamaroneck Avenue and the same names on your written scope before a single brush goes up. Since 2009, this team has run more than 38,000 chimney inspections and cleanings across Westchester County, and every one of them carries the same habit: document what the camera finds, price it in writing, and stand behind the work for a full year.
Our People
Corrine Halstead, Owner
Corrine founded Level Two Chimney White Plains in 2009 and still walks jobs personally when a liner question or a tricky crown repair needs a second set of eyes. Her background is in fireplace and flue system inspection, and she’s the person who reviews every camera-scan report before it lands in a customer’s hand. Corrine will tell you plainly if a creosote buildup looks exactly like something you do not want near your living room ceiling, and she’ll just as quickly tell you when a flue is in surprisingly good shape and can safely wait another season. She answers her own phone, and she’s never quoted a price she wasn’t willing to put on paper.
Danny R., Lead Technician
Danny has been running chimney sweeps and repair jobs in White Plains for nine years, and he’s the crew member most customers meet first. He’s NFPA 211 trained on Level 2 camera inspections and handles the majority of our liner assessments, meaning he’s the one telling you whether that terracotta flue has hairline cracking or actual spalling that warrants a replacement. Danny keeps a photo archive of every job he runs, a habit that predates the Haven Standard and became Clause 4 of it. Ask him about the Victorian-era fireplaces in the Highlands neighborhood and he’ll talk your ear off about smoke chamber parging from 1910.
Marisol V., Senior Installer
Marisol leads our liner and crown installation work, and she’s the person who makes sure a DuraFlex liner seats correctly through the full flue run, not just the first ten feet. She’s been with Level Two Chimney White Plains for seven years and specializes in stainless steel liner retrofits and full chimney rebuilds when freeze-thaw cycles near the Bronx River have done structural damage. Marisol is meticulous about the finished cap and crown details, the part you see from the street, and she photographs every stage of an install so the written record matches the work. On weekends she restores an old pickup truck in a garage off Central Avenue, which explains why she’s the one who notices when a chimney chase is rusting from the inside.
Tommy C., Service Coordinator and Apprentice Technician
Tommy is the voice on the phone when you call (914) 350-5204, and he’s also out on jobs as an apprentice technician under Danny’s supervision. He’s the one who texts you when a tech is on the way and who walks you through the written quote line by line before anything starts. Tommy grew up in White Plains and knows the difference between a 1920s masonry chimney in Battle Hill and a prefab chase in a 1980s split-level off North Street, which means he can often tell you what to expect before we’re even on the roof. He’s working toward his own NFPA 211 inspection certification and keeps a notebook of every weird flue condition he’s encountered so far.
One Standard, Every Job
Level Two Chimney White Plains is independently owned and operated under the Haven Standard, which means the crew you meet here answers to the same written promises as every other Haven location across New York. Clause 1 of the Haven Standard requires a written price, written scope, and written warranty delivered before any work starts, never after a tech is already in your living room. Clause 4 requires a documented photo record on every visit, so you’re never asked to take anyone’s word about a crack, a leak, or a creosote condition you can’t see for yourself. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is simple: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Corrine runs the crew the same way she writes her quotes: state what the camera found, give the price, and answer the question you didn’t know to ask yet. That standard doesn’t change from technician to technician, because the name on the page is the one who answers when you call.
