Chimney and duct cleaning in Edison, NJ
Edison is a large suburban township with 39,225 homes, about half of them detached houses and a tenth townhouses. Most of it was built after 1960, which changes what its chimneys look like.
In brief
In Edison we sweep and inspect masonry and factory-built chimneys, service gas flues and fireplaces, and clean dryer vents and air ducts in houses and townhouses.
Newer houses, different chimneys
More than half of Edison was built in 1970 or later, and houses from those decades often have a factory-built fireplace with a metal chimney inside a framed chase instead of a brick one. Those systems have their own weak points: the chase cover on top rusts and lets water into the chase, and the metal flue sections need to stay connected and clear. The older parts of the township, built in the 1950s and 1960s, still have brick chimneys with clay liners. Gas heats more than eight in ten households, and townhouses are about a tenth of the stock, where dryer vents often run a long way to reach an outside wall or the roof.

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.
Edison questions
Our Edison house has a fireplace with a metal chimney. Do you service those?
Yes. We inspect factory-built fireplaces and their metal flues, check the chase cover and the cap, and clean the flue when it needs it.
Our townhouse dryer vent goes up to the roof. Can you clean it?
Yes. Roof-terminated vents are often long and collect lint at the top. We clean the run and check the roof cap so it is not blocked.
