What You Are Booking
Liner condition is the least visible thing in a chimney and the most consequential, which is why it is worth establishing rather than assuming.
The service itself is described in full further up the hierarchy, on the page linked below. Here the subject is narrower — what the housing around you changes about it.
What Changes Because of Where You Are
On Greenwich's oldest housing, a flue going back into service after years unused is the case where liner assessment matters most — the masonry can be sound and the liner finished, and nothing visible from the room distinguishes the two.
Piped gas is the most common heating fuel in Greenwich, and a gas fireplace is serviced as an appliance rather than swept as a chimney.
Rock Ridge, Riverside and Old Greenwich are places inside Greenwich rather than separate towns, so they are covered by this page.

Greenwich’s Housing, and What It Means for Chimneys
Prewar housing makes up 26% of the stock, with a median year built of 1963. Chimneys of that period were laid in soft mortar that wears in preference to the brick — which is the design working correctly, and the reason repointing comes up so often. With 70% owner-occupied across 16,326 detached houses, inquiries divide between people using a fireplace and people needing to know the condition of one before a transaction. This is among the state's highest-value housing, and the practical consequence is scale rather than difficulty: more flues per stack, taller chimneys and more roof detail around their base.

Frequently Asked Questions
There was a small chimney fire a few years ago.
Then the liner should be assessed regardless of how the fireplace has behaved since. Flue fires reach temperatures that crack clay tile, and that damage is not visible from the room.
How long does a visit to a Greenwich property usually take?
It depends far more on the chimney than on the town: a single straightforward flue is quick, a stack serving several fireplaces is not, and roof access changes it again. Saying how many flues there are is the most useful thing for scheduling.
What should I do if a carbon monoxide alarm sounds in a Greenwich home?
Stop using the fireplace, get everyone out and call emergency services. That is not something to book an appointment about, and it takes priority over anything else on this page.
Can this be done in Greenwich in the middle of winter?
Some of it, and some genuinely not. Anything involving mortar needs temperatures above freezing to cure, so masonry work waits for the season. Cleaning, inspection, cap work and most interior repairs do not.
