Chimney Sweep & Repair in Union City, NJ

Union City is a city in Hudson County, about 8 miles east of downtown Newark, home to roughly 66,500 people. The typical home in Union City dates to around 1961 (about 40% 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 Union City (about 74%) 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 51,600 residents per square mile, it is one of the denser parts of our service area, where homes often sit close together. We serve Union City together with nearby communities such as Weehawken Township, Hoboken and West New York.

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.
