Chimney and dryer vent service in Flemington Borough, NJ
Flemington is Hunterdon's county seat and its most built-up town, a borough of just over one square mile with about 2,200 homes. A quarter of them predate 1940, and more than half sit in buildings with two or more units.
In brief
We inspect and repair chimneys along Main Street and the borough's older blocks, size liners for gas appliances and clean dryer vents and air ducts in houses and apartment buildings alike. For work that shows from the street in the historic district, we plan the borough's review into the schedule.
Old brick, shared buildings and gas appliances
The 549 Flemington homes built before 1940 have chimneys that went up long before any clearance rule, and it is common to find framing set right against the brick. Current rules call for a gap of 2 inches between an interior chimney and anything combustible, so we look for that whenever we can reach the framing. Most homes here burn gas now, which turns the usual work into liner sizing, orphaned water heaters and party-wall flues between attached units. The apartment buildings bring a different job, long interior dryer duct runs that often pass the 35 foot code limit and lack the length label that is supposed to sit near the dryer. In the historic district, any rebuild or new crown that can be seen from the street may need review before the permit, so we confirm the requirement with the borough before quoting.

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 Flemington Borough homeowners ask us
Our building is in the historic district. Can the chimney be rebuilt?
Usually yes, but a visible rebuild may need preservation review before the construction permit. We confirm what the borough requires and plan the timeline around it.
Do you clean dryer vents in Flemington apartment buildings?
Yes. We clean each run from the dryer to the outside, measure its length and note any run over the code limit that is missing its required label.
We only burn gas. Why would the chimney need service?
Gas exhaust is mostly water vapor. In an old masonry flue that is too large, it can condense and damage the mortar and tile from inside. An inspection checks the liner size and condition.
Is Flemington Borough the same as Raritan Township?
No. They share the 08822 ZIP code, but the borough and the township are separate municipalities with separate construction offices.
