Chimney and duct cleaning in Hillsborough Township, NJ
Hillsborough is one of the newest towns we cover: 82.2 percent of its 16,537 homes were built in 1970 or later. It also has 961 households on fuel oil and 94 that heat mainly with wood.
In brief
In Hillsborough we inspect and sweep factory-built and masonry fireplaces, clean oil and wood flues, and clear dryer vents in houses and townhouses.
Newer houses, older fuels
Most of Hillsborough was built in the last five decades, so a typical fireplace here is factory-built, with a metal flue in a framed chase that needs its chase cover and cap checked every year. What sets the township apart is how many homes still burn oil or wood for a newer suburb: close to a thousand on oil and 94 with wood as their main heat. Those flues collect soot and creosote and need regular sweeping. Townhouses make up a fifth of the housing, and their dryer vents are a frequent call.

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.
Hillsborough Township questions
We burn wood every day in a stove in Hillsborough. How often should we call?
Plan on at least one sweep a year, and a check mid-season if you burn daily. We look at the creosote on camera and tell you when the next sweep is due.
Our factory-built fireplace makes a ticking sound when it heats up. Is that normal?
Metal flues expand as they heat, and some sound is normal. A new or louder noise is worth an inspection, since loose sections or a damaged firebox panel can make it too.
