Your Local Pros for Chimney Sweeping in Middlesex County, NJ

Gas heats most Middlesex County homes, so many chimneys here vent a furnace and water heater with a fireplace flue beside them. Each needs a different kind of attention. Fireplace flues build creosote that can burn, while gas flues collect flaking tile and mortar at the base. Our crew sweeps fireplace flues, cleans out the base of appliance flues, checks the cap and damper, and shows you what came out, so you know how the chimney is wearing.

Chimney Sweeping for Middlesex County Homes

Perth Amboy's waterfront has a red brick promenade and many large Victorian homes, some on hills above the bay. Victorian houses often had fireplaces in more than one room, and each flue that is still in use needs its own sweep.

Utility gas heats about 80% of occupied homes in Middlesex County, with fuel oil near 3%. A gas flue rarely fills with soot, but moisture flakes its inner surface and the debris collects at the bottom, where we clean it out.

We sweep chimneys in Perth Amboy, Metuchen, Edison, Woodbridge and New Brunswick.

When to Call Us

  • Smoke rolls into the room when the fire starts
  • A strong campfire smell on humid days
  • Black flakes falling into the firebox
  • You do not remember the last sweep
  • You bought a house with a fireplace you have never used

How the Job Goes

  1. We protect the room

    Drop cloths go down from the door to the hearth and the opening is sealed before any brush goes in.

  2. We clean the whole system

    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 Middlesex County

Do Middlesex County homes with gas heat need the chimney swept?
The gas flue needs checking more than sweeping, mainly to clear debris at the base. If you burn wood in a fireplace, that flue should be swept whenever creosote builds up.
Can you sweep a fireplace that has not been used since we moved in?
Yes, and we would inspect it at the same time. Idle flues collect nests and fallen debris, and the damper may be stuck. We get it clean and tell you if it is ready to use.
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.
