Your Local Chimney Sweeping Pros in Cape May County, NJ

Plenty of Cape May County houses spend the off-season shut tight, then fill up when the summer crowd arrives. A flue that sat unused all winter, or one that ran a boiler for months while the fireplace stayed cold, can hold soot, creosote, leaves and the odd bird nest. Our local crew sweeps the full length of the flue, clears the smoke shelf and firebox, and tells you plainly what we saw. Spring or early fall is a good time to book, before the house opens up or closes down for the year.

Chimney Sweeping for Cape May County Homes

The county's summer population tops 750,000, and a lot of those houses sit empty once the season ends. A chimney nobody watches for months invites nesting birds and blown-in debris, so we like to sweep and look it over before the first fire of the year.

Wildwood's building boom took off in the 1950s, helped by the completion of the Garden State Parkway in 1955. Houses from that period often run a furnace or water heater into a flue of its own, and that flue needs sweeping as much as the fireplace does.

We sweep chimneys in Ocean City, Wildwood, Cape May and the mainland neighborhoods of Middle Township and Upper Township.

When to Call Us

  3. We look while we clean

    We check the damper, the flue joints and the crown and cap, and tell you plainly what we found.

  4. You get it in writing

    If anything needs repair, you get a free written estimate before any work starts.

Chimney Sweeping Questions in Cape May County

When should a shore house in Cape May County get its chimney swept?
Spring or early fall works well. In spring we catch anything that nested over the winter before guests arrive, and in early fall we clean out the summer's use before the house is closed or the heat comes on.
Do you sweep the furnace flue as well as the fireplace?
Yes. Many homes here vent the boiler or furnace through a separate flue that runs every day of the heating season. We clean it, check the connector pipe and make sure nothing has built a nest at the top.
How often should a chimney be swept?
NFPA 211, the national standard for chimneys and fireplaces, calls for an inspection at least once a year, with cleaning when deposits build up. A fireplace used every winter weekend usually needs a sweep every year.
