Chimney and duct cleaning in Jersey City, NJ
Jersey City has 135,231 homes, from brick row houses in the Heights and Bergen-Lafayette to towers on the waterfront. More than half are in buildings of five or more units.
In brief
In Jersey City we inspect and clean the chimneys and flues of row houses, multi-family houses and older apartment buildings, and we clean dryer vents.
Row houses, brownstones and the flues behind them
The older parts of Jersey City, the Heights, Bergen-Lafayette and the streets around Van Vorst Park, are full of row houses and two to four family buildings put up before 1940. Their chimneys are often shared with the house next door, and some fireplaces were closed off long ago while a boiler flue kept running beside them. When an owner opens one of those fireplaces again, the flue needs a full inspection first. Newer buildings by the water mostly heat with electricity, which is why almost a third of the city has no flue to clean. For them, dryer vents are the job. Masonry along the river also takes a lot of wind and rain, and we watch crowns and mortar closely.

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.
Jersey City questions
We want to reopen an old fireplace in our row house. What is the first step?
An inspection with the camera down the full flue. A fireplace closed for years can have a cracked liner, debris or an open joint, and those need fixing before the first fire.
Do you work in condo buildings in Jersey City?
Yes, mostly on dryer vents and on the boiler or water heater flues the building shares. For anything on the roof we work with the building manager.
