Chimney and duct cleaning in Readington Township, NJ
Readington Township heats with a wider mix of fuels than most places we work: gas in 63.2 percent of its 6,376 households, fuel oil in 1,281, propane in 297 and wood in 167.
In brief
In Readington Township we sweep oil and wood flues, inspect gas and propane venting, repair chimneys on houses and townhouses, and clean dryer vents and ducts.
Every fuel in one township
A Readington week can include an oil boiler flue, a wood stove, a propane furnace and a gas fireplace, often on neighboring roads. One household in five still burns oil, which leaves soot in the flue every season, and 167 homes heat mainly with wood, which leaves creosote. Most of the housing is newer than in the cities we serve: seven homes in ten were built in 1970 or later, many with factory-built fireplaces and metal chimneys in framed chases, while the older village cores at Whitehouse Station and Three Bridges still have brick. Townhouses make up about a seventh of the township, and their dryer vents often run a long way to reach the outside.

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.
Readington Township questions
We heat with wood in Readington. How often should the flue be swept?
At least once a year, and more often if you burn every day through the winter or burn wood that is not fully dry. The camera tells us how much creosote is in the flue.
How far is Readington from your base?
About 33 miles from Bloomfield, so we schedule Hunterdon County visits ahead. Call from 7 am to 9 pm to pick a date, or book online at any hour.
Our townhouse has a gas fireplace. Does it need service?
Yes, a yearly inspection of the vent, the firebox and the glass seal. Gas fireplaces burn clean, but their venting still needs to stay clear and connected.
