Chimney and flue service in Passaic, NJ
Passaic has some of the oldest housing on our map. Close to six homes in ten were built in 1939 or earlier, fewer than one in five is a single-family house, and nearly three households in four rent.
In brief
We inspect and clean chimneys and flues, fit liners and clean dryer vents and air ducts in Dundee, the Third Ward, Passaic Park and Lakeview, working with owners, managers and tenants.
Prewar buildings and the flues inside them
With most of the city built before 1940 and much of it in multi-unit buildings, a Passaic chimney often serves several apartments or a central boiler. Buildings that old often began on coal, and many have since switched to oil or gas, which can leave a flue far larger than the appliance now connected to it. Oil heat is still more common here than in Clifton or Paterson, so oil flues and their scale are a regular part of the work. In a building with several flues we trace each one to its appliance, clean and inspect it and give the owner a clear report. In apartments, long dryer runs and shared exhaust outlets are where lint builds up and where a clogged vent becomes a fire risk.

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 Passaic homeowners ask us
Our building has an old oil boiler. How often should the chimney be cleaned?
Inspect it every year, and expect the oil flue to need cleaning at most inspections, since scale keeps building up.
I rent in Passaic. Who should arrange chimney or dryer vent service?
Usually the building owner. If you notice smoke, a soot smell or a dryer that stays hot and slow, tell your landlord.
Our building switched from oil to gas. Is the old chimney still right?
Possibly not. A gas appliance in a flue built for oil or coal can cause condensation. We inspect the flue and recommend a liner if it needs one.
Do you work in Passaic Park and Dundee?
Yes, and in every other part of the city.
