Chimney and duct cleaning in Flemington Borough, NJ
Flemington is the small county seat of Hunterdon, with 2,191 homes, and much of its center sits in a historic district listed on the National Register in 1980. A quarter of its housing predates 1940.
In brief
In Flemington we inspect and repair the chimneys of older houses in and around the historic district, service apartment flues, and clean dryer vents.
A historic center and its chimneys
Flemington packs a lot of history into a small borough. The Flemington Historic District, on the National Register since 1980, holds houses from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries along Main Street and the streets off it, many with brick chimneys that are older than any code we work to. Those get a careful camera inspection and conservative repairs, and exterior changes in the district are worth checking with the borough first. Away from Main Street, a third of the homes are in apartment buildings and another fifth in two to four family houses. Gas heats three quarters of households, and oil and propane split most of the rest.

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.
Flemington Borough questions
Our house is in the Flemington historic district. Can you still work on the chimney?
Yes. Sweeping, inspection and repairs inside the flue go ahead as usual. For anything that changes how the chimney looks from the street, check with the borough first, and we will tell you when that applies.
Do you service apartment buildings in Flemington?
Yes. We inspect and clean boiler and water heater flues and dryer vents for building owners and managers.
