Chimney repair and sweeping in East Orange, NJ
East Orange has more large apartment buildings than any other Essex town we serve, with more than a quarter of its homes in buildings of fifty units or more. Electricity is the main heat in a much larger share of households than across the county, so here we see more building-wide systems and fewer single house chimneys than in Newark or Irvington.
In brief
In East Orange most of our work is inside apartment buildings, on boiler flues, roof vents and dryer exhaust runs that serve many units at once. Single masonry chimneys exist here too, mostly in the smaller buildings and older houses.
What we run into in East Orange
The buildings set East Orange apart. Roughly half the housing is in buildings of five or more units and over a quarter in buildings of fifty or more, the largest share among the Essex towns we serve. That moves the work toward shared systems, such as boiler flues and risers for a whole building, roof equipment and dryer or duct runs much longer than a house would have. Close to a third of households heat with electricity, so many units have no working gas appliance and no flue to sweep, and there the job is ducts and dryer vents. Where single masonry chimneys exist, they are mostly in the two to four unit buildings and the older houses mixed into the city, and they get the same camera inspection.

East Orange homeowners ask
Does East Orange have single-family chimneys or only apartment buildings?
Both, though apartments and larger buildings hold most of the housing. Masonry chimneys still exist in the two to four unit buildings and older houses, and we service them the same way.
What do you do in the large apartment buildings?
Mostly boiler flue and riser inspections, roof venting equipment and dryer or duct runs that serve several units. Those runs are long and collect lint in different places, so the inspection differs from a house call.
Our apartment has electric heat. Is there any chimney work to do?
Maybe. Electric heat means no heating flue, but some homes still have a wood or gas fireplace that needs its own inspection and sweeping.
Do you work with landlords and property managers here?
Yes, often. Many managers do not know a building's full heating history, so we inspect and report on what is actually connected to each flue and vent.
