Chimney sweep and duct cleaning in East Orange, NJ
East Orange is mostly apartments. Close to half of its homes sit in buildings of five or more units, and 27.1 percent are in buildings of fifty or more. For those buildings we work with the owner or the managing agent. For the houses and small multi-family homes that make up the rest, we sweep, inspect and repair the chimney you live with.

What the work looks like in East Orange
Because so many East Orange homes are heated with electricity, a working fireplace or a gas boiler flue is not a given here, and the first question on the phone is what actually vents through your chimney. In the houses and small multi-family homes that make up about half of the city, the answer is usually a gas boiler or water heater sharing the stack with an old fireplace. Those flues get swept and inspected, and an unused fireplace flue gets capped or checked so rain and animals stay out. For apartment buildings we deal with the owner or managing agent, who usually needs the findings in writing. Owners getting a vacant house ready to rent or sell often call for a full inspection, since the city keeps vacant properties on a registry and a chimney problem is easier to fix before a tenant moves in.

Recent reviews from our Google listing
A selection of our 5-star reviews on Google.
Flexible driving rods swept the whole height of the chimney from the ground up, keeping high altitude roof dangers down while getting a pristine flue barrel.
After four seasons of burning cordwood in an EPA-certified catalytic insert, relief was complete when the ceramic honeycomb combustor was gently cleaned out, without a single fin broken.
To guarantee that the cleaned flue maintained a consistent laminar flow throughout, devoid of eddy currents and reverse air roll, pressure testing was undertaken.
East Orange questions we hear
My house is heated with electricity. Do I still need a chimney visit?
Only if something still vents through the chimney or you want to use the fireplace. If the flue is unused, we can check that it is capped so rain and animals stay out.
I manage an apartment building. Can you inspect all the flues?
Yes. We inspect each flue and give you the findings in writing with photographs.
We are getting a vacant house ready to rent. What should we book?
A sweep with a camera inspection of every flue, plus a dryer vent cleaning if the house has a dryer hookup. You get the condition of each in writing before a tenant moves in.
