Chimney and duct cleaning in East Orange, NJ
East Orange sits just over two miles from our Bloomfield base. Nearly half of its 29,921 homes are in buildings of five or more units, so a lot of our work here starts with finding out which vent belongs to which apartment.
In brief
In East Orange we clean and inspect chimneys and vents in houses and apartment buildings, and we clear dryer vents and ducts that serve one unit or a whole floor.
Big buildings, shared vents
East Orange has more apartments than houses: about one home in five is a detached single-family house, and more than a quarter of the stock is in buildings with fifty or more units. In those buildings a chimney or vent stack often carries exhaust from several boilers or water heaters, and the job begins by tracing each connection before anything is cleaned. Electricity heats almost a third of households, the highest share of the Essex towns we cover, so many apartments have no flue of their own at all. What they do have is a dryer, and a long shared run to an outside wall is where lint builds up fastest. In the houses and smaller walk-ups, the chimneys are older: two thirds of the town was built before 1970.

Reviews from our Google listing
A selection of our 5-star reviews on Google.
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.
Soot was cleaned from the flue lining with non-abrasive polymer heads, leaving the critical structural integrity of the ceramic glaze undamaged.
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.
East Orange questions
Do you work in apartment buildings in East Orange?
Yes. We clean and inspect boiler flues, chimney stacks and dryer vents for buildings as well as single units. For a building, tell us how many floors and appliances share the stack, and we will plan the visit around that.
My apartment has electric heat. Is there anything for you to clean?
Often the dryer vent. Even with electric heat, a dryer pushes lint into its duct every load, and a long run inside a building can clog well before you notice the clothes taking longer.
