Chimney and vent service in Raritan Township, NJ
Raritan Township wraps all the way around Flemington Borough and has no post office of its own, so most homes here carry a Flemington, NJ 08822 address. The township's permits still go through Raritan's own construction office, and its houses are mostly much newer than the borough's.
In brief
We inspect factory-built fireplaces and metal chimneys, reline gas flues, sweep masonry chimneys and clean dryer vents and air ducts in Copper Hill, Reaville, Three Bridges and the rest of the township. When you book, tell us whether the house is in the township or the borough, since the two offices handle permits separately.
A 1980s township with 1980s chimneys
More than 5,700 Raritan Township homes date from 1980 or later, built when prefabricated fireplaces and insulated metal chimneys were the normal choice. These systems are listed products, which means they must be assembled and maintained the way the maker specified, with the right chimney sections, a limited number of offsets and the original labels in place. On a system now 35 to 45 years old, faded or missing labels and replacement parts that never matched are routine findings. With gas heating four homes in five, the other common job is the flue left behind after a boiler upgrade, where a water heater now vents alone through a liner sized for more. In the township's townhouse rows several metal flues can rise through one shared chase, and later roof changes sometimes leave a termination too low for the code's height rule. We check all of it on camera and in person on the roof.

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 Raritan Township homeowners ask us
Our address says Flemington, but we are in Raritan Township. Does it matter?
For the chimney work itself, no. For any permit, yes, because Raritan Township and Flemington Borough have separate construction offices. Tell us the municipality when you book so the paperwork goes to the right place.
The label on our 1980s fireplace is unreadable. Is that a problem?
It can be, because the label identifies the listed model and the parts that belong with it. We look for model information elsewhere on the unit and on the chimney sections, and if the system cannot be identified we explain the options, which may include replacement.
We replaced our boiler with a high-efficiency unit. What happens to the old chimney?
High-efficiency boilers usually vent through their own plastic pipe, which can leave the water heater alone in the old flue. That flue may now be too big for the water heater, so we check the liner size and condition.
Do you clean dryer vents in Raritan townhouses?
Yes. We clean the entire run to the outside hood and measure it, since long townhouse runs often go past the 35 foot code limit once the elbows are counted.
