When your chimney is professionally cleaned, you’re not just checking a box on your maintenance list. You’re eliminating the creosote buildup that causes house fires. You’re removing the blockages that force carbon monoxide back into your living space. You’re ensuring your fireplace draws properly so smoke doesn’t fill your home during those cold Newark winters.
Clean chimneys mean your heating system works efficiently, saving you money on energy costs. Your family breathes cleaner air. And you sleep better knowing a certified professional has inspected every inch of your chimney system for safety hazards.
Most importantly, you avoid the devastating costs of emergency repairs or, worse, fire damage that could have been prevented with regular maintenance.
Apex Air Duct Cleaning & Chimney Services brings something unique to The Ironbound: we’re the only team in New Jersey with CSIA, NFI, and NADCA certifications. That’s not just alphabet soup – it means we’ve mastered chimney safety, fireplace expertise, and air duct standards at the highest professional levels.
For over 40 years, our family-owned business has served Newark families from three locations across the state. We understand The Ironbound’s unique housing challenges – the older buildings, the dense population, the mix of single-family homes and multi-unit apartments that define this vibrant neighborhood.
Our approach is educational, not pushy. We explain what we find, why it matters, and what your options are. No surprises, no pressure, just honest expertise you can trust.
Your chimney sweeping starts with a free estimate and thorough inspection. Our certified technician examines your entire system – from the firebox to the crown – documenting everything with photos you’ll see before any work begins.
During cleaning, we protect your home with drop cloths and use professional-grade vacuums to contain dust and debris. We sweep from top to bottom, removing creosote, soot, and any obstructions like bird nests or leaves that could create dangerous blockages.
The process includes checking your damper, inspecting the flue liner for cracks, and ensuring your chimney cap is secure. You’ll receive a detailed report of our findings and clear recommendations for any additional maintenance your system needs. Everything is explained in plain language, so you understand exactly what’s happening and why.

Your chimney sweeping service includes comprehensive inspection, professional cleaning, and detailed safety assessment. But in The Ironbound’s dense urban environment, you need more than basic maintenance.
The neighborhood’s older housing stock – much of it built between 1940 and 1999 – often features chimneys that haven’t been properly maintained. Multi-unit buildings create unique challenges with shared flue systems and varying usage patterns between units.
We address these local realities with EPA-approved cleaning products, advanced camera inspection technology, and same-day emergency service when you discover problems that can’t wait. We handle everything from routine annual cleanings to urgent repairs that keep your family safe and your property protected.
