Your Local Chimney Sweep in Newark, NJ
Homeowners across Newark light their first fire of the season the same week the {NAME} school year starts—and every year, a handful call us that first cold night because the flue smoked back into the living room. Don't be that call.
The housing stock in Newark skews heavily toward attached row homes, converted brownstones with sealed decorative fireplaces, and mid-rise condos with gas log sets. That mix matters, because the right approach for a 1920s clay-tile flue is different from a 2005 prefab metal chase—and different again from a gas insert vented into a chimney originally sized for a coal furnace. Our techs read the house first, then quote the work.
We especially see steady call volume from the quieter side streets off the main commercial corridor of Newark, where seasonal use patterns and building age line up in ways that make annual inspection genuinely worth it—not just a box to check.
The 3 Problems We See Most in Newark

What Newark Homeowners Say
"Third company we tried—first one that actually got on the roof instead of just poking a brush up from the firebox. Worth every dollar."
"Bought a 1954 colonial and the seller's inspection missed a completely blocked flue. These guys caught it, relined it, and we had a fire by Thanksgiving."
