Chimney and duct cleaning in Somerset County, NJ
Somerset County is suburban and mostly newer: 62.9 percent of its 133,639 homes were built in 1970 or later, and 14.5 percent are townhouses. We cover six of its towns, 21 to 32 miles from Bloomfield.
In brief
In Somerset County we inspect and sweep factory-built and masonry fireplaces, service gas and oil flues, repair chase covers and crowns, and clean dryer vents in houses and townhouses.
Two chimney eras side by side
Somerset County has old county seats and new subdivisions within a few miles of each other. Somerville and Manville have older brick housing, much of it from before 1960, while Bridgewater, Bernards, Franklin and Hillsborough grew mostly after 1970, with factory-built fireplaces, direct-vent gas units and a large number of townhouses. Masonry chimneys fail at the crown and mortar, and factory-built ones at the chase cover and metal flue, so the inspection changes with the house. Gas heats close to four households in five, and oil still heats more than five thousand.

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.

Our townhouse vents its dryer to the roof. Can you clean that?
Yes. We clean the full run and check the roof termination so it opens freely and is not packed with lint.
