Chimney and duct service in Hudson County

The most useful job we do in Hudson County is not a sweep — it is a Level 2 camera inspection that answers whether a fireplace can be used at all. The flues here are narrow, built for individual coal grates, usually unlined, and they run in party walls alongside the neighbors'.

The short answer

A great many were sealed decades ago and later reopened by an owner restoring the fireplace, without anybody ever looking inside. We scan, sweep, repair and clear dryer runs across the county, and on this housing the scan comes first every time.

What we find on these jobs

Three findings dominate. A collapsed or displaced liner in a flue that has not carried smoke since the war. A nest, because an uncapped narrow flue is a dry warm cavity and birds and squirrels know it. And a failed wall between one flue and its neighbor in a shared stack, which is the finding that matters most and the one nobody can see from either end. Alongside those, the practical constraints are real: roof access is by hatch and usually belongs to the building rather than to a unit, and parking has to be planned rather than hoped for.

There was a lot of shaking in the chimney at night because the cap had come loose. They took it out and replaced it with a safe locking model, fixed the broken tile below, cleaned up the mess, and checked the…

The formation of water stains around the fireplace was prevented by repairing the flashing. The sealing seems to be well-done and secure. At last, weatherproofing feels solid. Thorough focus on detail.

Questions from Hudson County

Can I use the fireplace in my brownstone?

That is exactly what a Level 2 camera scan answers. We are looking at whether the flue is intact, whether it is separated from its neighbor, and whether it is sized for anything at all. Sometimes the answer is no, and we will say so plainly.

The fireplace was sealed for years. What does reopening involve?

A scan before anything else. A flue that has stood idle since the war can have a collapsed liner, a nest or a failed party wall, and reopening it without looking inside first is the one thing we would argue against.

I smell smoke when my neighbor has a fire. What is that?

Usually a failed wall between flues in a shared stack, and it is one of the few findings that justifies a Level 2 on its own. Do not use your own fireplace until somebody has looked.
