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…
Chimney Sweeping, Inspection, and Repair Across Readington and Hunterdon County
From a camera-verified sweep to a cracked crown or a damper that won’t move, one visit covers whatever your fireplace, wood stove, or flue actually needs — for the wood, oil, and gas heat that all show up on Readington’s streets.

Readington runs three fuel types through its chimneys at once — gas, oil, and wood — which is unusual for Hunterdon County and the reason this silo covers more than sweeping. Fuel oil heats 1,281 Readington households and LP gas another 297, fuels no utility technician ever inspects the way a gas main gets checked. Add 167 households still burning wood as primary heat, plus every supplemental stove and insert the census can’t count, and the work splits between a 1980s factory-built metal system due for a liner or a cap and a farmhouse hearth built before any clearance code existed. Layered onto a climate where the temperature crosses freezing roughly 103 days a year, that freeze-thaw cycling is what turns a hairline crack in a crown into water tracking down the flue — which is why sweeping, inspection, repair, and fireplace or stove service live under one roof instead of four separate companies.

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.
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…
Ducts and Dryer Vents Get Their Own Page
Chimneys and flues are only half of what turns up in a Readington basement. A crushed duct run in the attic, dusty supply registers, or a dryer that’s started taking two cycles instead of one — that work has its own page, with its own crew.
