What Newark homeowners can book
Our work in Newark covers three parts of a home that are easy to forget until something goes wrong: the chimney, the fireplace or stove it serves, and the dryer vent. On the chimney side that means sweeping and creosote removal, clearing blockages and nests, and a full chimney inspection when you're buying, selling or simply haven't had one in a while. When something is cracked, leaking or loose, chimney repair work covers everything from crowns and flashing to liners and masonry.
For the fireplace itself, we clean and repair wood-burning fireplaces, inserts and wood stoves. We also service and install gas fireplaces and gas logs and fix electric units. Dryer vents get cleaned and tested for airflow. They can also be repaired or rerouted when the run is too long or crushed.
Where to start if you're not sure
If you don't know what's causing a problem, describe what you're seeing when you get in touch. Useful details include smoke coming back into the room, a smell after rain, water stains near the chimney, sounds from inside the flue, or clothes that stay damp. That tells us whether a cleaning, an inspection or a repair is the right first visit, so you're not booking the wrong job.
An open flue with no cover is one of the simplest things to fix. Rain, leaves and animals get in more easily without one. Chimney cap installation is usually a short visit that heads off bigger trouble later.
Helpful details to have when you call
- Whether you burn wood, use gas or have an electric unit
- When the chimney or dryer vent was last cleaned, if you know
- What you've noticed and when it started
- Whether the attic or roof can be reached, if it matters for the job
