Chimney sweep and duct cleaning in Elizabeth, NJ
Chimney work in Elizabeth brings together both of the things we deal with most — older divided housing and coastal weather — so the visit usually covers both ends of the problem. We check what is keeping water out of the flue, and we scan what is inside it.

The short answer
Sweeping, inspection, repair and dryer vent work all run across the city, and on the eastern side the cap and the flashing come first.
What we find on these jobs
Nearer the bay, caps corrode and flashing fails years earlier than they would inland, and the sequence that follows is predictable: rain down an open flue for a season, then a stain inside. In the older divided housing we find the familiar shared-stack picture — several flues, coal-era dimensions, gas-era appliances, and separating walls never inspected. On the larger single-family stacks the work moves to crowns and repointing instead. Which of those three jobs you need is not something anybody can tell from the street, which is why the visit starts with a look rather than a quote.

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 Elizabeth
Is salt really a factor this far up the bay?
On the eastern side of the city, yes, and it shows up first on caps and flashing rather than on the masonry. That is why those are the first two things we look at there.
I have a three-family. Do all the flues get swept?
Only the ones you want swept, but all of them get looked at, because a problem in one flue of a shared stack is rarely confined to that flue.
How soon after a storm should I call?
Soon, and it is worth being blunt about why. A lifted cap found in November is a cap. The same lifted cap found in February is a cap, a flue that has taken three months of rain, and a stain on a bedroom ceiling — three jobs instead of one, for the sake of a phone call.
Do you work in Elizabeth regularly?
Yes — Google's own service area for this business names Elizabeth explicitly, and it is a normal run alongside Bayonne and Perth Amboy.
