Chimney repair and sweeping in Hudson County, NJ

What we run into in Hudson County

The same pattern repeats across the five cities. Much of the housing predates 1940, and almost none of it stands alone. In Union City, the older parts of Jersey City and Hoboken's brownstone blocks, one flue often serves households stacked above one another, so the first step on any call is tracing which chimney belongs to which unit. Roof access is usually a hatch off a shared stairwell, and in taller buildings a single boiler flue can run the full height of the structure. Gas has replaced most of the oil and coal, so old brick chimneys now vent smaller, cooler appliances than they were built for, and that mismatch shows up as staining and wear inside the liner long before anything shows outside.
