Honest good working local company. The amount they quoted me on the phone was the price I paid after the service was completed.
Chimney and duct work in East Orange, NJ
In East Orange the opening question is about the building, not the chimney: how many homes does this stack serve, and which shaft inside it ends up at your boiler. Get that wrong and everything after it is guesswork with a brush attached.

The short answer
Camera work, sweeping, repairs and dryer runs, right across the city — with the shaft belonging to your unit identified before any of it starts.
What we find on these jobs
Two things recur, and both come from a hundred years of appliances arriving and leaving with nobody drawing what changed. One is the dead shaft: a flue orphaned by some long-ago conversion, never capped, quietly swallowing rain and starling nests ever since while the brick around it never properly dries out. The other is the divider between two live shafts. It is thin, it was never meant to be inspected, and where it has split, fumes from one household can find their way into the neighbour's flue. Neither shows itself from a hearth. On top of that we routinely open shafts still carrying residue from coal, oil and gas in layers, because nothing was ever cleared between one changeover and the next.

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.
Questions from East Orange
We own a two-family here. Does the visit cover both flues?
Every shaft in the structure gets looked at; the ones that want sweeping get swept. What we settle first is whether each appliance genuinely has a shaft of its own reaching it, because in a building with this much history that is not safe to assume from how the basement looks.
The upstairs tenant says they can smell exhaust. Is that possible?
Yes, and it deserves a camera rather than reassurance. A split divider between two shafts moves combustion gases from one household into another, and there is nothing to see from either apartment. This is precisely the situation the scan exists for.
How do you reach the roof on an attached house?
The hatch, in almost every case. Mention on the phone whether the building has one and who can open it — that single detail shapes the whole appointment, and a padlock discovered at nine in the morning wastes the slot for everyone.
I am buying a divided house here. Which inspection?
Ask for a Level 2 and ask for the flue map in writing. Every shaft run, every one matched to what it actually feeds. A Level 1 reports on what can be reached, and reaching is exactly what the question is not about.
