Chimney, flue and dryer vent service in Union City, NJ
Union City is the densest town we cover, and fewer than one home in thirteen is a single-family house. Almost a third of its housing was built in 1939 or earlier, and four in five households rent.
In brief
We inspect, clean and repair chimneys and flues and clean dryer vents and air ducts in Central Union City, West Hoboken, Transfer Station and the rest of the city, working with building owners and their tenants.
Old masonry in a city of multi-family buildings
With more than nine homes in ten in buildings of two or more units, a Union City chimney usually serves a building rather than one family. In the older two to four family houses that can mean one stack with a flue per apartment. In larger buildings it can mean a single boiler flue serving the whole structure. Gas heats about 71 percent of homes and oil less than 3 percent, so many of these flues have outlived the appliances they were built for, and a gas appliance in a flue that is too large can leave condensation inside. Because most residents rent, the building owner is usually the one who arranges chimney and dryer vent service, and we report to the owner with photos and clear findings.

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 Union City homeowners ask us
I rent in Union City and my dryer takes forever. What can I do?
Tell your landlord, since the vent is usually the building's responsibility. A clogged vent is a fire risk as well as a nuisance, and we can clean it once the owner books the visit.
We own a four-family building. Do you inspect every flue?
Yes. We identify each flue, clean and inspect it and give you one report covering the whole chimney.
Our building switched from oil to gas. Is the chimney still right?
It may be too large for the new appliance. We check the liner and recommend a new one if needed.
Do you work throughout Union City?
Yes, including West Hoboken and the blocks around Transfer Station.
