Chimney Sweep & Repair in Irvington Township, NJ

About 3 miles west of downtown Newark in Essex County, Irvington Township has roughly 60,900 residents. The typical home in Irvington Township dates to around 1960 (about 33% of homes here were built before 1950). Chimneys from the mid-century building era are now well past 50 years old, and their flue liners are often cracked, undersized, or missing for the way modern furnaces and water heaters vent. Most homes in Irvington Township (about 72%) heat with natural or propane gas, and gas furnaces and water heaters vent through the chimney too — a blocked or deteriorated flue can push carbon monoxide back into the house. At roughly 20,900 residents per square mile, it is one of the denser parts of our service area, where homes often sit close together. We serve Irvington Township together with nearby communities such as Hillside Township, Maplewood Township and South Orange Village Township.

New Jersey winters are cold and damp, with repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and storms and salt air along the Shore add moisture and wind stress — all of which are hard on chimney masonry, caps, and flashing.
