Chimney sweep and duct cleaning in Middletown Township, NJ
Middletown Township is single-family country. 77.6 percent of its homes are detached houses and close to nine in ten are lived in by their owners, so the person who calls is usually the one who uses the fireplace. We sweep and inspect the flue, check the crown, cap and flashing, and clear the dryer vent, from Lincroft to the Bayshore.

What the work looks like in Middletown Township
Half of Middletown’s houses were built before 1970, with the 1950s the busiest decade. In houses like these, the yearly sweep and inspection is the core of the work, along with the crown and cap that keep rain out of the flue. Along the Bayshore, in Belford, Port Monmouth and Leonardo, the township’s hazard plan records recurring tidal flooding in low-lying areas, and after a storm it is worth checking that a basement furnace or water heater is venting properly again. With 615 households still on oil, oil flues get their liner checked as part of the visit. The township’s Department of Building and Inspection handles permits for the repairs that need 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.
Middletown Township questions we hear
We use our fireplace every winter. How often should it be swept?
NFPA 211 calls for an inspection at least once a year, with sweeping when the inspection finds buildup. For a fireplace used regularly through the winter, that usually means a sweep every year.
Our basement took water in a storm. Should the furnace venting be checked?
Yes. After flooding, have the appliance checked by its service company, and we can confirm that the flue and the connection are clear and drafting.
Do you cover Lincroft and the Bayshore towns?
Yes. We work across the township, from Lincroft and Navesink to Belford, Port Monmouth, Leonardo, River Plaza and New Monmouth.
Can you clean the dryer vent on the same visit?
Yes. We clean the full run from the dryer to the outside hood, which is often where lint has been building for years.
