Chimney sweeping and repair in Bayonne, NJ
Bayonne has the oldest housing of the Hudson County towns we cover, with 36 percent of homes built in 1939 or earlier and a median build year of 1954. It is also the most house-like of them, with more than half its homes in one or two family buildings.
In brief
We sweep and inspect chimneys, check gas liners, repair masonry and clean dryer vents and air ducts in Bergen Point, Constable Hook, Uptown and Centreville.
Owner-occupied houses and gas-converted chimneys
Bayonne homes are owner-occupied more often than in the other Hudson County towns we cover, and with 45 percent of them built by 1949, many are decades older than the gas appliances they now run. With gas heating three homes in four, a chimney that began on coal or oil often vents a gas furnace, boiler or water heater today. That is why liner size and condition are the first things we check. A flue that is too large lets gas exhaust cool and condense, and the mortar inside slowly gives way. On a two-family house the stack may hold a flue for each floor, and we inspect each one. Up top, crowns and caps on these older chimneys take a beating from wind and freeze cycles, so we look closely at both.

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 Bayonne homeowners ask us
Our two-family house has one chimney. Does each apartment have its own flue?
Often, yes. We identify each flue, check that it serves the right appliance and inspect it from top to bottom.
Our chimney cap blew off in a storm. Can you replace it?
Yes. We fit a new cap sized to the flue and check the crown and flue tile for damage while we are up there.
We have a gas boiler. How often should the chimney be inspected?
Once a year is the standard recommendation, whatever the fuel.
Do you clean dryer vents in Bayonne?
Yes, from the dryer to the outside hood.
