Honest good working local company. The amount they quoted me on the phone was the price I paid after the service was completed.
Chimney and duct work in Irvington, NJ
Most Irvington addresses we visit are divided into flats, and on that kind of building the camera is worth more than the brush. One structure, several shafts, and a configuration that has been altered more often than anyone has bothered to record.

The short answer
Camera work, sweeping, repairs and laundry ducts across the township, with your own shaft identified before any decision about it is taken.
What we find on these jobs
Unlined brickwork comes up often in this housing and deserves a straight explanation. Any number of these shafts have carried smoke for a hundred years without incident, so the absence of a liner is not a verdict. What changes is that flame gases sit against raw brick, so one failed joint has consequences that the same joint inside a lined shaft would not — which is why anything unlined gets looked at before it gets brushed, never the other way round. The other regular finding is the orphan: a shaft left behind when some appliance was pulled out decades ago, still open to the sky, drinking rain and collecting nesting material through every winter since. Sealing the top of one is an afternoon; ignoring it is a decade of damp masonry.

Expert setup, high-powered vacuums, and absolutely no dust residue. Excellent work.
Water had been leaking around the chimney flashing, but the repair solved it completely. The crew sealed and reinforced the affected area with precision. Rain is no longer a concern. The workmanship looks strong and durable.
Questions from Irvington
Our chimney has no liner. Is that dangerous?
Not by itself, and a great many unlined shafts in this housing have worked for a century. What the absence changes is the margin: flame gases meet raw brick, so one split joint carries weight it would not carry in a lined shaft. It argues for looking first, not for alarm.
There is a shaft on our stack that nothing connects to.
Common, and worth closing off. Left open at the top it drinks rain and fills with nesting material season after season, and the brickwork around it never gets a chance to dry. Capping it properly takes very little time.
I am a landlord. What do I actually get?
A dated write-up with photographs: what was examined, what turned up, and what each finding means — sorted into deal with now, keep an eye on, and ignore. It is something a tenant, an insurer or a purchaser can act on, which is normally the real reason for the appointment.
Do you need access to every apartment?
Not necessarily, but describe the layout when you ring. Confirming which appliance a shaft reaches needs somebody standing at the connection while the camera descends, and arranging that in advance is far simpler than negotiating it on the step.
