Chimney inspection and repair in Paterson, NJ
Paterson grew up around the Great Falls of the Passaic River, and its typical home is an apartment in a two to four family house. More than half the city's homes are in buildings like that, and about a third were built in 1939 or earlier.
In brief
We inspect, clean and repair chimneys, fit liners and clean dryer vents and air ducts on the Eastside, in Sandy Hill, Totowa, Hillcrest, People's Park, Stoney Road and Riverside.
Two and three family houses with a flue for each floor
A Paterson two or three family house can have a heating appliance on each floor, and those appliances may share one masonry chimney with a flue apiece. Each flue needs its own check, since one can be clear while the next is blocked by debris or broken tile. Most of these houses are old enough to have changed fuels, and with gas heating nearly four homes in five, many flues are now oversized for the appliance connected to them, which invites condensation inside the brick. About two households in three rent, so we work closely with owners, inspect every flue in the building and leave photos and written findings for their records.

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 Paterson homeowners ask us
Our three-family house has a boiler on each floor. Do you check every flue?
Yes. We trace each flue to its boiler, clean and inspect it and report on each one.
Bricks have fallen from the top of our chimney. Is it safe?
Loose brick at the top is a hazard to people below and lets water into the chimney. Keep the area clear and call us. We rebuild the damaged courses down to sound masonry and add a new crown.
I rent in Paterson. Can I report a vent problem to you?
You can call us with questions, but the owner normally books the work. Let your landlord know about smoke, soot or a dryer that takes too long.
Do you clean dryer vents in Paterson?
Yes, in single units or whole buildings.
