Chimney and duct cleaning in Essex County, NJ

Essex County is home for us: our base is in Bloomfield, and the other three towns we cover here are all within five miles. It is also old housing country, with 65.1 percent of its 336,962 homes built before 1970, against 50.5 percent statewide.

In brief

Across Essex County we sweep, inspect and repair chimneys in single-family houses, two to four family homes and apartment buildings, and we clean the dryer vents and ducts that go with them.

Four towns, one short drive

Bloomfield, East Orange, Newark and Irvington sit close together, and that is why Essex County gets our quickest scheduling. The housing changes a lot over those few miles. Bloomfield has the most single-family houses and the oldest stock of the four, East Orange leans to large apartment buildings, and Newark and Irvington are full of two to four family houses where one chimney serves several households. Across the county, two homes in three were built before 1970, so clay liners, aging crowns and flues that have been through a change of fuel are the usual findings. Each town runs its own construction office, and we tell you when a repair needs a permit there.

  • Brooke D.

    A hundred years of lime mortar requires a careful, low-RPM touch, and that antique sensibility was obvious in the preservation-grade sweeping of our 1910 hearth.

  • Stephanie F.

    Soot was cleaned from the flue lining with non-abrasive polymer heads, leaving the critical structural integrity of the ceramic glaze undamaged.

  • Benjamin H.

    Before any damage to the fundamental integrity of the ceiling, we were able to fix the outside chimney leaks after identifying significant water damage behind the lead counter-flashing.
