Chimney repair and sweeping in Middlesex County, NJ
Middlesex County starts just east of Somerset, so a visit there fits into an ordinary day for us. We cover New Brunswick, Edison and Perth Amboy, three cities that grew in different ways. Two of them are dense and mostly older than 1960, and the third, Edison, is a postwar suburb of single-family homes.
In brief
From Bridgewater we sweep, inspect and repair chimneys in New Brunswick, Edison and Perth Amboy, and we clean dryer vents and ducts in the same buildings.
What we run into in Middlesex County
Middlesex County straddles a real change in the ground. The northwest, including parts of Edison and New Brunswick, sits on the shale and sandstone of the Piedmont, and the southeast, including Perth Amboy, sits on the sandier soils of the Coastal Plain. For a chimney, the housing matters more than the rock. New Brunswick and Perth Amboy are old, dense cities where a chimney may serve a whole building. Edison went the other way, with 60.6 percent of its homes single-family and most of them built during the postwar boom, the kind of house that got one interior chimney for one furnace. Gas dominates in all three today, from 58.9 percent of households in New Brunswick to 83.2 percent in Edison, and each still has homes on oil.

Middlesex County homeowners ask
Which Middlesex County towns do you serve?
New Brunswick, Edison and Perth Amboy have their own pages here. If you are elsewhere in the county, call with your address and we will tell you if we can reach it.
Does a chimney permit come from the county or from the town?
From the town. New Jersey's construction code is enforced locally, so a job in New Brunswick, Edison or Perth Amboy goes through that city's own construction office.
Can you clean the ducts and dryer vent on the same visit as the chimney?
Yes. In all three towns we can sweep or inspect the chimney and clean the dryer vent and ducts in a single visit, so owners and landlords do not need two appointments.
