Chimney Liners, Essex CountyYour Local Pros for Chimney Liners in Essex County, NJ
Most Essex County chimneys now vent a gas boiler or furnace, and that changes what the flue needs. Gas exhaust carries a lot of water vapor. In an unlined chimney or one built for an older, larger appliance, that vapor condenses on the cold walls and eats at the mortar and clay tile from the inside. A stainless steel liner sized to the boiler and water heater fixes the draft and protects the masonry. Our crew measures the flue, matches the liner to the appliance and installs it from the top.

Chimney Liners for Essex County Homes
Utility gas heats about 89% of occupied homes in Livingston, one of the highest shares in Essex County. Many of those houses went up in the 1950s with a masonry flue sized for the furnace of that time, which is often too large for a modern unit, so relining is a common fix after a boiler change.
In Montclair, gas heats about 74% of homes and fuel oil about 8%. When an oil boiler is switched to gas, the old flue still holds acidic oil residue and is usually the wrong size, so we clean it and reline it for the new appliance.
We reline chimneys in Livingston, Montclair, Millburn, Bloomfield and West Orange.
