Chimney repair and sweeping in Passaic County, NJ
Passaic County is old before it is anything else. More than half of its housing, 103,392 of 186,184 units, predates 1960, and over a quarter predates 1940. It is also mixed, with just under half the homes single-family and roughly three in ten in two to four unit buildings. Clifton, Passaic and Paterson cover that whole range along the Passaic River.
In brief
In Clifton, Passaic and Paterson we sweep, inspect and repair chimneys and clean dryer vents and ducts, in houses and in multi-family buildings.
What we run into in Passaic County
The three cities we serve line up along the Passaic River, and the housing gets older and denser as you go from Clifton toward Passaic and Paterson. Across the county more than half of all units predate 1960 and a little over a quarter predate 1940, so many chimneys started out venting whatever fuel was common on that block at the time. Close to half the county is single-family, about three in ten homes are in two to four unit buildings and around one in five is in a larger building, which means a service call here is as likely to come from a landlord as from a homeowner. Gas heats more than eight in ten households, and oil is down to about one in twenty-five, but where it still runs, it runs every day.

Mostly old. More than half of the county's housing predates 1960 and a little over a quarter predates 1940. The building type changes a lot by city, from mostly single-family in Clifton to mostly multi-family in Passaic and Paterson.
