Chimney sweep and duct cleaning in Monmouth County, NJ
Monmouth County is mostly detached houses, 65.7 percent of its 270,415 homes, and its seat is Freehold Borough. Our Monmouth town is Middletown Township, which is even more single-family than the county. A visit there is usually one family’s fireplace and furnace flue, the crown and cap on top and a dryer vent.

What the work looks like across Monmouth County
In a county of houses, the chimney visit is about one household’s fireplace and heating flue. Gas heats 81.1 percent of Monmouth homes and 8,082 households still use oil, so the flues we see are mostly gas vents through masonry, with oil flues in a minority of homes that get an extra look at the liner. Middletown runs even more detached than the county, 77.6 percent against 65.7, and more gas-heated, 85.3 percent against 81.1. Along the Bayshore, low-lying neighborhoods see recurring tidal flooding, and after a storm it is worth confirming that a basement furnace or water heater is venting properly. When a repair needs a permit, it goes through the town’s own construction office, since the county does not issue them.

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.
