Chimney sweep and duct cleaning in Parsippany, NJ
Chimney sweeping in Parsippany is usually a two-flue job rather than a one-flue job, and the second flue is the reason the visit is worth booking. It serves a family-room fireplace or a wood stove added long after the house was built, it is not the fireplace anybody pictures, and it is regularly the one that gets missed.

The short answer
We do both on one visit, scan both, and check the connector pipe on a stove as well as the flue above it.
What we find on these jobs
The unswept second flue, most often — sometimes with a season or two of deposit in it and sometimes with considerably more. Stove connector pipes corroded at the joint, which is the part of the system that goes first and the part easiest to overlook because it is behind the appliance. And crowns and mortar joints wearing faster than they do anywhere else in our service area, because the freeze-thaw count is higher here: water in a joint freezes and expands more times each winter, and that is the mechanism that opens both.

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 Parsippany
I have two fireplaces. Is that two appointments?
One visit, two flues. What matters is that the second one gets looked at — out here it is very often the one that gets missed, because a stove flue added later does not look like part of the chimney.
I put in a wood stove years ago. Does that flue need doing?
Yes, and so does the connector pipe between the stove and the flue. That pipe corrodes first and it is the easiest part of the whole system to overlook, because it sits behind the appliance.
Why do crowns crack faster out here?
More freeze-thaw cycles a year. Water in a mortar joint freezes and expands more times each winter here than it does closer to the coast, and that is the mechanism that opens crowns and joints.
When is the best time to book?
September, before the first genuinely cold weekend. The work is identical in September and in November; the difference is that in September you pick the appointment and in November you take whatever is left, along with everybody else who lit a fire and smelled something.
