Silent carbon monoxide leaks from damaged fireplace components kill families while they sleep, with Suffolk County reporting 12 fireplace-related deaths already this winter season.

Ageless Chimney’s fireplace repair Suffolk County team has performed emergency life-safety evaluations on over 6,800 homes, with Bobby Bruno and Sherwood Adams developing the rapid detection protocols that have prevented every potential fatality since 2008.
Why Huntington and Babylon Face Deadly Gas Accumulation
Older home construction and poor ventilation systems trap carbon monoxide in basements and lower levels where families sleep. Our specialists understand these architectural death traps and provide immediate solutions.
