Chimney sweep and duct cleaning in Edison, NJ
Edison grew up between 1950 and 1990. 70.7 percent of its housing was built in those four decades, and 60.6 percent of homes are single-family houses or townhomes. A visit here usually covers one fireplace or furnace flue, the crown and cap on top, and a dryer vent that has had years to fill with lint.

What the work looks like in Edison
Edison houses from the 1950s through the 1980s can have quite different chimneys, from brick stacks on the older capes and ranches to factory-built metal flues inside framed chases on newer homes and townhomes. The two need different checks. A masonry chimney gets the crown, the flashing and the clay liner examined, while a factory-built system gets its metal flue sections, joints and chase cover inspected for rust and separation. Utility gas heats 83.2 percent of Edison homes, and 865 households still use oil. When a heating system is replaced, the township’s Division of Construction Code Enforcement handles the permit, and a sweep and inspection beforehand documents the flue for the installer. Dryer vents in split-levels and ranches often run a long way through the house, and we clean them on request.

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.
Edison questions we hear
Our townhouse fireplace has a metal chimney. Do you service those?
Yes. Factory-built chimneys need their own checks, from the metal flue sections and joints to the chase cover at the top, which can rust and let water in.
We are replacing our furnace. What should we do about the chimney?
Book a sweep and inspection before the installer comes. Edison’s construction office handles the permit for the new furnace, and our findings show the flue’s condition in writing.
How often should an Edison fireplace be swept?
NFPA 211, the national chimney standard, calls for an inspection at least once a year, with sweeping when the inspection shows buildup.
Do you work in Menlo Park and Oak Tree?
Yes, and in the rest of Edison, including Stelton, Clara Barton, North Edison and Bonhamtown.
