What we run into in Clifton
Clifton is the nearest thing to a single-family town on our Passaic County route. Just over half its homes are single-family, and close to seven in ten predate 1960, spread across Botany Village, Athenia, Richfield, Delawanna, Allwood and Montclair Heights. On a house that old, the useful first question is what the chimney was built to vent, because gas now heats the large majority of Clifton homes and oil is under two percent. A flue that has carried more than one kind of appliance over sixty years deserves to be checked against whatever runs through it today. The rest of the housing is in two to four unit and larger buildings, where a shared flue can turn one household's problem into two or three.

Clifton homeowners ask
Do you cover all of Clifton, including Botany Village and Allwood?
Yes, the whole city, with chimney sweeping, inspection, repair and liner work, plus dryer vent and duct cleaning. Tell us which section you are in when you call.
Our Clifton house predates 1960. What should we know about the chimney?
A chimney that old may have vented more than one kind of appliance. Before assuming it is fine, have the flue checked against the furnace or water heater connected to it today.
We own a two-family house. Does the chimney serve both units?
Often it does. We inspect each flue in the chimney and confirm which appliance uses which, so both households know where they stand.
Can you clean the dryer vent while you are here?
Yes. In most Clifton houses the dryer run is short, and we clean it from the machine to the outside hood on the same visit.
