Chimney and duct work in Middlesex County, NJ

Middlesex County is where the duct side of the van does at least as much work as the chimney side. Edison is forced-air suburban housing with long runs, New Brunswick is largely rented and wants documents, and Perth Amboy is old masonry taking waterfront weather. Three towns, three different jobs.

The short answer

Chimney surveys and brushwork across all three towns, plus the duct and laundry runs most of this housing genuinely depends on.

What we find across Middlesex County

Duct leakage leads the list, and it is invisible, undramatic and expensive. Joints that were never sealed, or were sealed with cloth duct tape that has since dried out and let go, leak conditioned air continuously into crawlspaces and joist bays; because the symptom is a heating bill rather than a visible mess, it goes unaddressed for a decade. Behind it comes the disconnected branch, which is the usual reason one bedroom is six degrees colder than the rest of the house all winter. On the chimney side the county splits: the rented older housing produces flue maps that nobody has, and the waterfront produces weather findings — caps working loose, chase covers rusting from the seam, and mortar opening on the exposed face long before the sheltered one.

Matthew Jones

Honest good working local company. The amount they quoted me on the phone was the price I paid after the service was completed.

Megan Gough

Expert setup, high-powered vacuums, and absolutely no dust residue. Excellent work.

Lucille Jensen

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 Middlesex County

Is duct sealing worth doing before cleaning?

Where both are needed, yes. A system pulling air in through open joints undoes part of the cleaning it has just had, and sealing is usually the higher-value job of the two on a house of this age.

I am a landlord here. What do I get?

A written report with photographs: what was inspected, what was found and what follows, separated into act now, watch and leave alone. It is written so a tenant or an insurer can act on it, which is the difference between a report and an invoice with notes.

Our chimney is near the water. Anything different?

The metal on it has a shorter life. Caps, chase covers, mesh and fastenings all wear faster in that exposure, so stainless is worth the difference. The masonry itself ages much as it would inland.
