Chimney and duct cleaning in Franklin Township, NJ
Franklin Township is the largest town we cover in Somerset County, with 27,089 homes, and one of the most varied: detached houses, townhouses and apartment complexes in almost equal measure across its villages.
In brief
In Franklin Township we inspect and sweep fireplaces and flues in houses and townhouses, service apartment building flues, and clean dryer vents and ducts.
Houses, townhouses and apartments
Franklin Township spreads across villages from Somerset and Franklin Park to East Millstone and Griggstown, and its housing is a real mix. Fewer than half the homes are detached houses, a fifth are townhouses and nearly a quarter are in apartment buildings. Seven homes in ten were built in 1970 or later, so factory-built fireplaces and direct-vent gas units are common, while the older villages keep brick chimneys. Electricity heats about one household in six, and in those homes the dryer vent is the main job. For townhouses we see a lot of long vent runs that end on 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.
Franklin Township questions
Our townhouse in Franklin Park has a direct-vent gas fireplace. Does it need service?
Yes, once a year: the vent and its termination outside, the firebox, the glass seal and the burner area. Direct-vent units are sealed systems, so a blocked or damaged vent needs fixing promptly.
Do you clean dryer vents in apartment complexes?
Yes, for single units and for whole buildings. For a building, we coordinate with management to reach the outside terminations.
