Spring Valley is Rockland's densest village, with early-20th-century houses near Main Street and the train station, mid-century capes and ranches farther out, and a large number of homes that have been expanded or converted to two- and three-family use over the past few decades. From a chimney standpoint the conversions are the story: a single masonry flue that was built for one furnace is now venting two or three boilers and water heaters, or a new appliance was connected to a flue nobody inspected. That is how carbon monoxide gets into a house, and why an inspection by a certified technician, not just a sweep, is the right first call here.
Spring Valley's older housing also has its share of unlined brick chimneys and crumbling crowns, and the village's building department takes heating and venting seriously; a new boiler or a relined flue is permitted and inspected work in the Village of Spring Valley, separate from the Town of Ramapo for most addresses. Landlords should know that a chimney serving tenant units needs the same annual attention as one in an owner-occupied house.
Any company doing the work needs the Rockland County home improvement contractor license. For sweeps and inspections, ask for CSIA certification and a written report; for anything venting a gas appliance, ask that the liner be sized to the appliance's venting instructions.

Spring Valley questions
How much is a chimney inspection in Spring Valley?
A Level 1 inspection comes with a sweep ($150 to $375 for wood, $80 to $150 for gas, per HomeGuide 2026). A Level 2 camera inspection, the right choice for a converted or multi-appliance flue, runs about $250 to $600.
Can two boilers share one chimney?
Sometimes, if the flue is lined and sized for the combined load and the connections meet the fuel gas and mechanical codes; often not, especially for high-efficiency units. This is exactly what a Level 2 inspection and a licensed installer sort out, and the village building department inspects the result.
Do I need a permit for a chimney liner in Spring Valley?
Relining for a heating appliance is permitted work in the Village of Spring Valley; the contractor applies. Sweeps and caps are not.
