Chimney sweep and duct cleaning in Jersey City, NJ

The most useful appointment we do in Jersey City is a Level 2 camera inspection, not a sweep, because the question people actually have here is whether the fireplace can be used at all. The flues are narrow, built for individual coal grates, usually unlined, and they run in party walls alongside the neighbors'.

The short answer

We scan, sweep, repair and clear dryer runs across the city, and on this housing the scan comes first every time.

What we find on these jobs

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 find it. And — the one that matters most — a failed wall between your flue and the neighbor's in a shared stack, which is invisible from both ends and is what makes somebody smell a fire they did not light. Alongside those, two practical constraints shape the visit: roof access is by hatch and usually belongs to the building, 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 Jersey City

Can I actually use my fireplace?

That is exactly what a Level 2 camera scan answers. We look 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.

It was sealed when I bought the place. What does reopening involve?

A scan before anything else. Reopening a flue that has stood idle since the war without looking inside it first is the one thing we would argue against doing.

Where will you park?

Tell us the street and we will plan around it. In the denser neighborhoods it genuinely affects how long the visit takes, and it is much better solved beforehand.

I smell smoke when my neighbor has a fire.

That points at 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.
