Chimney sweep and duct cleaning in Passaic County, NJ
Passaic County’s three biggest cities are the three we serve, and they ask for different work. Paterson and Passaic are mostly two-family to four-family houses and apartment buildings, where one brick stack carries several flues. Clifton is mostly houses with their owners living in them. Across the county, 55.5 percent of homes were built before 1960.

What the work looks like across Passaic County
The county’s housing is old and dense in its cities. In Paterson, 52.6 percent of homes are in two-unit to four-unit buildings, and in the city of Passaic close to six in ten homes were built in 1939 or earlier. In those buildings, we start by working out which flue belongs to which apartment’s boiler or water heater, because a stack added to over the decades rarely matches what anyone remembers. Clifton is different, with mostly owner-occupied houses where a visit means one fireplace, one furnace flue and the crown and cap on top. Gas heats 81.4 percent of the county’s homes, and 7,309 households still burn oil. For landlords, the written findings with photographs are often what they need most, and we deliver them for every building we inspect.

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.
Passaic County questions we hear
Which Passaic County towns do you serve?
Paterson, Passaic and Clifton, each with its own page. Call with your address if you are elsewhere in the county and we will tell you whether we can schedule a visit.
I own a two-family house in Paterson. What does the visit include?
A camera inspection of each flue to confirm which appliance it serves and that the walls between flues are intact, a sweep of the flues you choose and written findings with photographs.
Is chimney work different in Clifton?
The steps are the same, but Clifton’s owner-occupied houses usually mean one fireplace and one furnace flue, so the visit tends to be shorter and focused on that single chimney.
