Your Local Chimney Sweeping Team for Mercer County, NJ

Mercer County chimneys mostly vent gas furnaces now, but some still serve an oil boiler or a wood fireplace, and each leaves something behind. Oil builds soot and scale, wood builds creosote, and gas flues drop flakes of tile and mortar to the bottom. Our crew sweeps fireplace and appliance flues, clears the smoke shelf and base, checks the damper and cap, and tells you plainly whether the chimney needs anything more. We work clean and protect your floors while we do it.

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

Chimney Sweeping for Mercer County Homes

Census estimates put utility gas in about 71% of occupied Mercer County homes, electricity in about 19% and fuel oil in about 5.5%. Oil-fired flues need sweeping as soot builds, while gas flues mostly need their base cleared of debris.

Ewing has grown as a suburb of Trenton since the early 20th century, and areas near the city line are urban while most of the township is suburban homes. Older Ewing houses may have a fireplace flue beside the furnace flue, and we sweep and check both.

We sweep chimneys in Ewing, Hamilton Township, Trenton, Lawrence Township and Pennington.

When to Call Us

How the Job Goes

  1. We protect the room

    Firebox, damper, smoke shelf, smoke chamber and flue, with rods and brushes sized to your flue.

  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 Mercer County

How do I know when our fireplace in Hamilton needs a sweep?
If the fireplace smells strongly when it is not in use, if black flakes fall into the firebox, or if the fire is harder to draw than it used to be, have the flue checked. Otherwise, a yearly look tells you when it is due.
Does a chimney sweep in Mercer County also check the cap and damper?
Ours does. We look at the cap, crown, damper and smoke chamber while we sweep, because a sweep is a good time to catch small problems.
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.
