Chimney and duct cleaning in Bayonne, NJ
Bayonne sits on a peninsula between Newark Bay and New York Bay, about ten miles from our base. Of its 30,786 homes, 45 percent are two to four family houses and 45.4 percent were built before 1950.
In brief
In Bayonne we inspect, clean and repair the chimneys of two to four family houses and older apartment buildings, and we clean dryer vents and ducts.
Water on three sides
With bays on both sides, Bayonne chimneys stand open to rain blown in off the water, and the wear shows up at the top first: cracked crowns, rusted caps and mortar washed out of the last few courses of brick. Nearly half of the housing is two to four family houses, many with a shared chimney carrying each floor's boiler or water heater. Gas heats three quarters of the city, and 849 households still burn oil. Close to half the homes were built before 1950, so clay liners are the rule, and a camera pass shows whether those tiles are still whole.

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.
Bayonne questions
Does the salt air near the bay affect our chimney?
Wind and moisture off the water wear on caps, flashing and mortar. We check the top of the stack closely and tell you if anything there needs attention before winter.
Our house has two units and one chimney. What do you check?
Each flue in the stack, the appliance on each one, and the crown and cap on top. You get a short report for each unit with photographs.
When can you come to Bayonne?
Call from 7 am to 9 pm any day for the first opening, or book online 24/7 and we will call to confirm.
