Chimney and duct cleaning in Somerville, NJ
Somerville is the Somerset County seat, a small borough of 6,131 homes with a historic downtown. A quarter of its housing predates 1940, and four homes in ten are in buildings of five or more units.
In brief
In Somerville we inspect and repair the chimneys of older houses, service apartment building flues, and clean dryer vents and ducts.
A county seat with old chimneys
Somerville's center is older than most of Somerset County. The Somerville Historic District takes in Main, Division and High Streets, where nineteenth century buildings and houses keep their original brick chimneys, and two thirds of the borough's housing predates 1970. Those chimneys need careful inspection and conservative repairs, and exterior changes in the district are worth checking with the borough first. Four homes in ten are in apartment buildings, and electricity heats more than a quarter of households, so dryer vents and shared boiler flues are a large part of the work here.

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.
Somerville questions
Our Somerville house dates from the 1800s. Can the chimney still be used?
Often yes, after an inspection. We put a camera through the flue to check the liner and the joints, and tell you plainly what it needs before you light a fire.
Do you work on apartment buildings near Main Street?
Yes. We inspect and clean boiler and water heater flues and dryer vents for owners and managers.
