What we do

Two Trades, One Crew Working Out of Readington Township

Chimney sweeping and repair on one side, air duct and dryer vent cleaning on the other. Camera in hand before anything gets touched, on either job.

How we inspect

Every Flue Gets a Camera Pass First

Every flue gets a camera pass before the first brush goes in. You watch the same feed we do, on a screen, not just over the phone. NFPA 211 calls for that look at least once a year, because the buildup that causes a chimney fire is rarely the kind you can see from the room.

Repairs

Crowns, Caps, and Flashing, Fixed Not Just Flagged

A cracked crown or damaged flashing is what lets water into a chimney long before smoke ever backs into the room. We repair what the camera finds: crown, cap, flashing, or liner.

Air Duct and Dryer Vent Cleaning

A dryer taking three cycles to finish a load, or ductwork nobody has looked inside since the house was built: we clean the run and tell you honestly whether duct cleaning is worth doing at all.

What a Chimney Sweep Actually Changes

One camera pass, one round of brushes and a HEPA vacuum: the difference between a sooty firebox and a clean one, on the same visit.

For our homeowner's insurance, we needed proof. They did a full check with photos and video, cleaned the flue, fixed some small problems with the mortar, and sent a professional report the same day. The insurance company agreed to cover…

Excellent communication throughout the process. I received a text when the tech was on his way, and he arrived exactly when promised to do the sweep.

Mary Curran

After it rained a lot, we saw wet spots on the wall next to the chimney. A broken crown and worn-out flashing were found by the team. They put in new lead boots instead of flashing, poured a new sloped crown, sealed all the joints, and…

A chimney that hasn’t been swept in years, or ductwork nobody’s opened since the house was built: describe what you’re dealing with and we’ll tell you what it needs.

How a visit works

Four Steps, Start to Finish

The same process whether it’s a routine sweep or a repair the camera turns up.

  1. Call or request an estimate

    Describe what’s going on (smoke pushing back, a damper that won’t move, a dryer taking three cycles) and we’ll tell you which visit that actually is.

  2. Camera goes down first

    Before any brush touches the flue, the camera runs its length and the picture goes to a monitor you can see for yourself.

  3. The work you agreed to

    Brushes and a HEPA vacuum for a sweep, or the repair the camera found: crown, cap, flashing, or liner.

  4. Photos and a clear answer

    Before-and-after photos are yours to keep, and anything else the camera turned up gets explained in plain language, not a surprise line on an invoice.

Eleven counties, one crew that answers the phone from 7 am to 9 pm, every day.

Common questions

Questions Before You Call

Do you serve all eleven counties from one location?

Yes, the crew works out of Readington Township and reaches homes across Hunterdon, Somerset, Middlesex, Morris, Union, Essex, Monmouth, Hudson, Passaic, Bergen, and Camden counties.

How often does a chimney actually need sweeping?

NFPA 211 calls for an inspection at least once a year, since the buildup that causes a chimney fire is rarely visible from inside the room.

I don’t burn wood. Do I still need a chimney sweep?

Yes. In Readington Township alone, 1,281 households heat with fuel oil and another 297 with LP gas, and those flues get no utility inspection the way a gas main does. A camera pass is the only way to see inside one.

Do you clean air ducts and dryer vents, or just one?

Both, and they’re not the same job. Dryer vent cleaning clears lint from the wall to the outside hood; air duct cleaning is the HVAC supply and return runs. We’ll tell you honestly if your ducts don’t need it.

What happens if the sweep finds a problem?

You see it on the camera monitor first, and it gets photographed. Nothing gets repaired without you knowing what the camera found and why.
