We put a camera up the flue before any brush goes in, you watch the screen while we do it, and the photographs go home with you whether or not anything needs booking.
No obligation, and a person picks up from 7am until 9pm.

Why people call
Not a menu of services. The three things that actually put this number into a Bloomfield homeowner's hand, and what each one really is.
The first cold night
A chimney that drew beautifully in the spring can be furred with deposit by the time the clocks change. If the room starts filling instead of the flue drawing, let that fire die and ring before another one goes in.
Two cycles, then three
What you are seeing is lint, and lint in a hot pipe is how laundry rooms catch. The screen in the door stays looking innocent for years while the pipe behind the plasterboard narrows to nothing.
After a week of rain
Three parts up there keep rain out, and one of them has stopped. Identifying which is an afternoon with a ladder. Waiting until spring turns it into masonry work.
The same firebox, one visit apart
Deposit off the back wall and the floor, and the brickwork readable again underneath it. Same camera position, same light, nothing staged.
Two trades, one van
Chimney work and duct work are the same problem seen from two ends of the building: something that needs to leave, and something standing in its way.
Brushwork, both inspection levels, and the repairs that follow: slabs, lids, roof metalwork, steel liners, brickwork. Gas and wood appliances too.
See chimney services
Laundry pipes that have quietly closed up, ductwork that genuinely warrants attention, ductwork that does not, and a straight answer about which yours is.

Honest good working local company. The amount they quoted me on the phone was the price I paid after the service was completed.
Expert setup, high-powered vacuums, and absolutely no dust residue. Excellent work.
Water had been leaking around the chimney flashing, but the repair solved it completely. The crew sealed and reinforced the affected area with precision. Rain is no longer a concern. The workmanship looks strong and durable.
That is 38 out of 38. Tell us what you are seeing — somebody answers until 9:00 PM, every day.
What actually happens
So you know what is coming before anybody rings the bell — and so you can tell whether the visit you got was the visit you booked.
Coverings over the hearth and out across the floor, and the vacuum is running before the damper is touched.
The monitor faces your way. Tile, bedding joints, the chamber above the damper — whatever is up there, you are looking at it while we are.
Rods from the firebox up, cap off and worked from above wherever the roof is safe, soot into suction rather than into the room.
Before and after, plus anything we found worth watching, and no pressure to book any of it today.
That is the whole visit, start to finish. No obligation and nothing booked on the doorstep.

A brownstone flue in Hoboken and a split-level in Parsippany are not the same appointment. The county pages say what actually changes.
Before you call
Telephone rather than type. Between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM a person picks up, seven days. We will say straight out whether that fire wants putting out now or whether it holds until a booking, and whether anyone is free to reach you before tonight.
Thirty-eight towns, eleven counties, measured outward from Bloomfield: Essex first, then Hudson, Union, Bergen, Passaic, Morris, Middlesex, Monmouth. Not seeing your town is not a no — where the line falls shifts with the time of year, so ask.
No, and what prevents it is sequence rather than cleaning up afterwards. Coverings go down first, suction starts before the damper moves and stays on until we pack up, and a photograph of the hearth on the way out puts the condition you got it back in on record.
It is decided by how you burn rather than by the date. A wood fireplace used through a full New Jersey winter usually wants a sweep once a season; burn wood that has not had a summer to dry, or shut the fire down to hold overnight, and it comes round sooner. A gas insert wants an annual inspection rather than a sweep — that flue still corrodes, it simply does not fill with creosote.
The first is what a person can reach and see: firebox, damper, the reachable stretch of shaft, the outside of the stack. The second sends a camera the full length and into everything hidden between the two ends. Ask for the second when the house is being sold, after any chimney fire however brief, or after anything that could have moved the brickwork — a bad storm, a strike, a tremor.
