Chimney repair and sweeping in Clinton Township, NJ
Clinton Township is half way through a fuel change. Gas reaches most homes, yet more than a third still burn oil or propane. Over half of the houses date from the 1980s and 1990s, so most have already replaced their first furnace or boiler, and each of those swaps should have included a fresh look at the chimney.
In brief
We sweep, inspect and repair chimneys across Clinton Township, in Annandale, Beaver Brook and the old crossroads hamlets, with extra attention to oil and propane flues and liner sizing, and we clean dryer vents and ducts too.
What we run into in Clinton Township
The fuel change in Clinton Township never quite finished. Just over half of the homes come from the 1980s and 1990s, which means most of the original furnaces and boilers have been replaced at least once, and every replacement should have come with a check that the chimney still suited the new appliance. Around a third of households never left oil or propane, so we regularly find acidic residue and scale inside older masonry flues, often on equipment installed before the current owners moved in. Wood heat is rare here, fewer than one home in a hundred. The first useful question on many visits is whether anyone can find the chimney verification paperwork from the last equipment swap.

Clinton Township homeowners ask
We are replacing our old oil furnace with gas. What happens to the chimney?
It has to be checked before the new appliance is signed off. A flue sized for oil is often the wrong size for gas, and New Jersey's chimney verification form asks the installer to confirm the chimney suits the replacement.
Our address says Annandale. Is that still Clinton Township?
If the house is in the township, yes. Mail here can read Annandale, Clinton or Lebanon depending on where you are, but it is all one municipality with one construction office.
How can we tell if our chimney was ever inspected?
Ask whoever last replaced your furnace, boiler or water heater for the chimney verification form from that job, since it belongs in the permit file. If nobody has it, treat the flue as unchecked and have it inspected before the next swap.
We hardly use our fireplace. Does it still need attention?
Yes. An idle flue still lets in moisture and debris, and if it shares a chase or wall with a working heating appliance, its condition affects that system too.
