Chimney sweep and duct cleaning in Parsippany, NJ
Parsippany-Troy Hills still has a lot of oil heat. 1,765 households, 7.6 percent, heat mainly with fuel oil, the highest share of any town we serve, and most of the township’s homes went up between 1950 and 1979. We sweep and inspect oil and gas flues alike, look after fireplaces and stoves, and clean dryer vents for houses and apartments.

What the work looks like in Parsippany
An oil burner leaves a heavier, more acidic deposit in its flue than gas does, so in Parsippany the liner check on oil-heated homes gets particular attention. Houses from the township’s main building decades, the 1950s through the 1970s, usually have one masonry chimney carrying a furnace or boiler flue and a fireplace flue, and both get swept and checked on camera. In Mount Tabor, the cottages of the old camp-meeting village are small and close together, and their chimneys need a gentle approach and careful roof access. Garden apartments and mid-rise buildings, 41 percent of the township’s homes, bring dryer vents that run through shared walls, which we clean with the owner’s approval. When a furnace is replaced, the township’s Division of Construction Code handles the permit, and our inspection documents the flue first.

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.
Parsippany questions we hear
We heat with oil. How often should the flue be cleaned?
Oil leaves more soot than gas, so an annual inspection with sweeping as needed is the norm. NFPA 211 calls for an inspection at least once a year in any case.
We are switching from oil to gas. Does the chimney need work?
Often it does. A flue sized for an oil burner may be too large for a gas appliance, and the usual fix is a correctly sized liner. We inspect first and tell you what the new appliance needs.
Do you work on the small cottages in Mount Tabor?
Yes. Those chimneys are often small and the roofs close together, so we plan access before the visit.
Can you clean dryer vents in apartment complexes?
Yes, with the property manager’s approval. We clean the full run to the outside, unit by unit.
