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 Edison, NJ
Edison is the town where the duct side of the van does more work than the chimney side. Post-war and later single-family housing with forced air throughout, long runs, and a good proportion of fireplaces that are decorative rather than in regular use.

The short answer
Chimney surveys and brushwork across Edison, plus the duct and laundry runs that most of this housing genuinely lives or dies by.
What we find on these jobs
The recurring finding here is duct leakage rather than anything to do with fire. Joints that were never sealed, or were sealed with cloth duct tape that has since dried and let go, leak conditioned air continuously into crawlspaces and joist bays — and because the symptom is a heating bill rather than a visible mess, it goes unaddressed for years. Behind that comes the disconnected branch: a flexible run pushed onto a sheet metal takeoff and secured with nothing but a strap works its way off over years of expansion, and the register still blows enough air that nobody suspects it while one bedroom stays six degrees colder than the rest of the house. On the chimney side, the finding is the opposite of dramatic: flues in reasonable condition that have simply not been looked at, on fireplaces used three times a winter.

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 Edison
One bedroom is always cold. Is that the ducts?
Very often, and the usual cause is a branch that has come off its takeoff inside a joist bay or a crawlspace. The register still blows a little, so nobody suspects it, and the system spends every winter heating the space between two floors. Following the run is the only way to find it.
Is duct sealing worth doing?
On a house of this age it is usually the highest-value thing that can be done to the system. Leaking joints send heated and cooled air into unconditioned space continuously, and because the symptom is a bill rather than a cold room it tends to go unaddressed for a decade.
We use the fireplace maybe three times a winter. Do we need anything?
An inspection, yes, and often for reasons unconnected with burning. A flue that goes unused most of the year is the one that collects nesting material and leaves, and a chimney nobody burns is usually the one nobody has looked up in years.
Should the ducts be sealed before they are cleaned?
Where both are needed, yes — otherwise a system pulling air in through open joints undoes part of the cleaning it has just had. If we find significant leakage during a cleaning visit we will tell you rather than finish and say nothing.
