Chimney sweeping and repair in Middletown Township, NJ
Middletown is a township of owner-occupied, detached houses, with more than three in four homes standing on their own lot. The 1950s were its biggest building decade, and about half of today's homes were built before 1970.
In brief
We sweep and inspect chimneys, check liners, rebuild crowns and clean dryer vents and air ducts from Lincroft, Navesink and River Plaza to New Monmouth and the Bayshore sections of Belford, Port Monmouth and Leonardo.
Postwar houses and the Bayshore
Most Middletown homes are detached houses from the postwar decades, often with a single masonry chimney for the furnace and a fireplace. With gas now heating about 85 percent of households, a lot of those chimneys serve a different appliance than the one they were built around, so we check that each liner suits its furnace or water heater. Crowns and caps on these 60 and 70 year old chimneys are another regular repair, since water that gets past them works its way into the brick. Along the Bayshore, in Belford, Port Monmouth and Leonardo, the county's hazard plan records recurring tidal flooding in low-lying areas, and after a flood we check the base of the chimney, the cleanout and the connectors for silt and corrosion.

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 Middletown Township homeowners ask us
Our 1955 house has a gas furnace and the original chimney. Is that a problem?
Not necessarily, but the flue may be larger than the furnace needs. A camera inspection shows the liner's condition and whether a new liner would help.
We live in Belford and our basement took on water. Should the chimney be checked?
Yes. Floodwater can leave silt at the base of the flue and corrode the cleanout door and connector. Have your appliances checked by a qualified technician too.
The crown on our chimney is cracked. Can you repair it?
Yes. Depending on the damage we seal it or replace it, and we add a cap if there is none.
Do you cover Lincroft and Navesink?
Yes, and the whole township.
