Chimney sweep and duct cleaning in Paterson, NJ
The job we do most in Paterson is a Level 2 camera inspection rather than a straight sweep, and that is because of what the buildings are rather than anything about the city. On a divided house one masonry stack carries several flues, added to at different times as appliances came and went, and the first useful thing anybody can tell you is which flue actually serves your appliance.

The short answer
We scan, sweep, repair and clear dryer runs across the whole city, and on this housing the camera goes up before anything else does.
What we find on these jobs
Two findings come up again and again. The first is a separating wall between flues that has not been visible since it was built — where one has failed, exhaust from one appliance can reach another dwelling, and that is worth knowing before anything gets swept. The second is unlined masonry, which is ordinary in this housing and is not automatically a problem: plenty of unlined flues have worked for a century. What it does mean is that heat and combustion gases meet bare brick, so a cracked joint matters considerably more than it would in a lined flue. Alongside both, we regularly find flues carrying deposits from coal, oil and gas eras all at once.

There was a lot of shaking in the chimney at night because the cap had come loose. They took it out and replaced it with a safe locking model, fixed the broken tile below, cleaned up the mess, and checked the…
The formation of water stains around the fireplace was prevented by repairing the flashing. The sealing seems to be well-done and secure. At last, weatherproofing feels solid. Thorough focus on detail.
Questions from Paterson
My house is a two-family. Does the visit cover both flues?
We look at every flue in the stack and sweep the ones you want swept. What the scan establishes first is that each appliance has its own properly separated flue and that the wall between them is intact.
The chimney has never been lined. Does that change the work?
It changes what we are looking for. Heat and gases meet bare masonry, so a cracked joint matters more than it would in a lined flue — which is why the scan comes before the brush rather than after it.
There are three flues in one stack. How do you tell them apart?
By following each appliance up with the camera. It is one of the more useful things a scan produces in a divided house, and it is information nobody can get from the hearth.
Do you do landlord inspections here?
Yes, and the report is usually the deliverable rather than the sweep: what is safe, what needs watching, what needs doing, with a photograph attached to each finding.
