Your Local Chimney Sweeping Crew in Hunterdon County, NJ

Hunterdon County leans on delivered fuels, so its chimneys work harder than most. Oil burners leave soot and scale in the flue, and an out-of-tune burner can build that layer quickly. Wood stoves and fireplaces leave creosote, which burns and has to be removed when it builds up. Our crew sweeps oil, wood and propane flues, empties what has fallen to the base, looks over the cap and damper, and points out any flue that is collecting deposits faster than it should.

Open 24 hours, Sunday to Friday. Free written estimates.

Chimney Sweeping for Hunterdon County Homes

Census estimates put fuel oil in about 25% of occupied Hunterdon County homes, propane or other tank gas in about 10% and wood in about 2%, against about 47% on utility gas. Plenty of houses here run an oil boiler and a wood stove side by side, and the two flues fill at different rates, so we sweep each on its own schedule.

A fire on October 30, 1891 destroyed 23 buildings on Clinton's Main Street. Fire has a long memory in old towns like Clinton, and a clean flue is the simplest way to keep a chimney fire from starting in the first place.

We sweep chimneys in Clinton, Flemington, Readington, Tewksbury and High Bridge.

  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 Hunterdon County

How often should a wood stove flue be swept in a Hunterdon farmhouse?
Check it at least yearly and sweep when deposits build up. A stove burned all winter, especially on wood that is not fully seasoned, may need sweeping mid-season too.
Does a propane boiler flue need sweeping?
Propane burns clean, so the flue rarely needs a full sweep, but its moist exhaust can flake the liner and drop debris at the base. We check it each year and clear what has collected.
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.
