Chimney and duct cleaning in Union County, NJ
Union County is next door to Essex, and we cover three of its towns: Union Township, Elizabeth and Plainfield. Of its 212,385 homes, 57.9 percent were built before 1960, and gas heats 81.8 percent of households.
In brief
In Union County we sweep and inspect chimneys in postwar houses, two to four family homes and older apartment buildings, and we clean dryer vents and ducts.
Three towns, three kinds of house
The three Union County towns we serve are close on the map and very different on the ground. Union Township is mostly detached houses from the 1940s and 1950s, each with its own chimney. Elizabeth is dense, with almost half its homes in two to four family houses that share stacks. Plainfield has large older houses in several historic districts, some with two or three fireplaces on one chimney. Gas heats more than four households in five across the county, so furnace and boiler flues make up much of the work, alongside the fireplaces.

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 gas boiler shares a chimney with an old fireplace. Is that a concern?
It is common, and each flue needs to stay separate and sound. We inspect both on camera and tell you if anything between them has failed.
