Chimney and liner work in Irvington, NJ
The most common building in Irvington is a two to four family house, holding more of the town's homes than in any other Essex County town we cover. Two in three Irvington homes were built before 1970, and every rental unit in town is part of an annual landlord registration.
In brief
We inspect and repair chimneys, fit liners and clean dryer vents and air ducts in Upsala, Ivy Hill and along Union Avenue and Springfield Avenue, for owner-occupants and landlords.
Multi-family houses with more than one flue
In a two or three family Irvington house, each apartment may have its own heating appliance, and those appliances often vent into flues in the same chimney. Each flue needs to be checked on its own, because one can be clear while the next is blocked or cracked. Most of these houses are old enough to have changed fuels at least once, with gas now heating close to seven homes in ten, so we check every flue against the appliance it serves today. Landlords in Irvington register their rental units every year, and keeping a record of chimney and dryer vent inspections alongside that registration is good practice. Our photos and written findings make that easy.

Reviews from our Google listing
A selection of our 5-star reviews on Google.
Polishing the ceramic glass and unblocking the air-wash intake passages turned our heavily used woodstove back into an effective heat source.
Static-cling barriers locked the aperture tight, so that high soot agitation inside the top flue never wandered into the next-door kitchen.
The entire sweep was completed with engineering precision and purity never before witnessed from meticulous pre-setup to HD inside camera feature.
What Irvington homeowners ask us
Our three-family house has three boilers. Do you inspect all the flues?
Yes. We trace each flue to its appliance, clean and inspect it and report on each one.
I am a landlord in Irvington. Can you document the chimney condition for my records?
Yes. You receive photos and a written summary you can keep with your rental records.
Our oil boiler is old. Should we check the chimney before replacing it?
Yes. The new appliance needs a flue that fits it, and an inspection beforehand avoids surprises on installation day.
Do you clean dryer vents in Irvington?
Yes, in every unit of a multi-family house if needed.
