Chimney Sweep & Repair in Newark, NJ

Newark, a city in Essex County with roughly 310,200 residents, is the center of our Newark-area service territory. The typical home in Newark dates to around 1966 (about 32% 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 Newark (about 71%) 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 12,800 residents per square mile, it is one of the denser parts of our service area, where homes often sit close together. We serve Newark together with nearby communities such as Harrison, Irvington Township and Kearny.

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.
