Chimney Sweep & Repair in Union Township, NJ

About 6 miles southwest of downtown Newark in Union County, Union Township has roughly 61,100 residents. The typical home in Union Township dates to around 1956 (about 35% 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 Township (about 82%) 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 6,700 residents per square mile, it is one of the denser parts of our service area, where homes often sit close together. We serve Union Township together with nearby communities such as Roselle Park, Hillside Township and Maplewood 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.
