Your Local Chimney Sweeping Pros in Ocean County, NJ

Many Ocean County homes went up in the decades after the Garden State Parkway opened, and a typical ranch or split-level from that era has one masonry chimney doing two jobs. One flue serves the living room fireplace and the other the furnace, boiler or water heater. The fireplace flue collects creosote; the heating flue collects condensation damage and debris. Our crew sweeps and checks both, clears the base of the heating flue and looks at the cap, which takes a beating from shore wind and salt.

Chimney Sweeping for Ocean County Homes

In Jackson, home building rose from about 100 new homes a year in the late 1950s to an average of 750 a year in the 1960s. Many chimneys from that building wave carry a fireplace flue and a heating flue side by side, and each needs its own cleaning and check.

A housing boom from the 1950s through the 1980s produced many of Brick's neighborhoods, including Lake Riviera, Laurelton and Baywood. Fireplaces in homes from those decades build creosote with every season of use, and NFPA 211 calls for cleaning when those deposits build up.

We sweep chimneys in Jackson, Brick, Toms River, Lakewood, Manchester Township and Point Pleasant.

When to Call Us

How the Job Goes

    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 Ocean County

Does my furnace flue need sweeping if the fireplace is the only one I use?
The furnace flue does not build creosote, but it should still be checked every year. Condensation can loosen tile and mortar and drop debris at the bottom, which can block the vent.
What time of year should I book a chimney sweep in Ocean County?
Late summer or early fall works well. You beat the fall rush, and if the sweep finds storm or salt damage at the top, there is time to repair it before winter.
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.
