Midtown Chimney Sweeps of Basking Ridge is proud to call New Jersey home.
The area of Basking Ridge, New Jersey, on the eastern seaboard of the US, was originally settled in the 1720’s by British Presbyterians escaping religious persecution. The actual land was bought from the Lenape Native Americans around the same time.
Bernards Township was officially chartered 16 years before the American Revolution on May 21, 1760, and granted by King George II to Sir Francis Bernard, the first governor of Basking Ridge. After the Revolution began, another memorable event occurred in Basking Ridge, NJ. On the morning of December 15, 1776, General Charles Lee was captured by the British at Widow White’s tavern. Lee had ranked next to Washington in command. The downtown area of Bernards Township, known as Basking Ridge, was added to the New Jersey and National Registries as a Historic District in 1974. If you like history, then you will enjoy talking with our Basking Ridge chimney sweep franchise owner, Kurt Matthews!

Fireplace Repair and Maintenance near Bernardsville and Osborn Mills, NJ
Please do not be fooled by our name; we do much more than sweep chimneys!
- Gas Fireplaces: Do you have an issue with your gas fireplace staying on? Need your pilot light started for the season? Perhaps there is a nest at the exhaust termination that needs to be properly removed and cleared away?
- Pellet stoves and inserts. Is your pellet stove not providing the warm air like it used to? We can diagnose the problem you may be having to determine the source of the issue and get you solutions for repair.
- Brick chimneys need linings too. Rain and moisture mix with carbon and sulfur residues to produce a light H2SO4 (sulfuric acid) which tears up mortar joints and deteriorates brick and clay. We have a great solution for that- Heatshield or Fireguard ceramic lining for the inside of the flue! Ask your technician when he comes out, or call our office or click here: Heatshield Relining of Masonry Flues.
- Furnace and boiler flue relining. Furnaces and boilers, powered by the burning of natural gas, liquid propane, coal, or wood, or home heating oil, all produce rather unpleasant exhaust that needs to draft up a sealed flue to the outside world. When a furnace flue becomes blocked or deteriorated so that it can no longer contain the byproducts of combustion, then it must be relined, repaired, or replaced. We believe that quality stainless steel liners are just the thing for this scenario, and we have you covered in this department.
- Fireplace installation. While we specialize in installing wood burning inserts into masonry fireboxes, and attaching full length liners, we may also do a pellet insert or a gas insert if conditions and county licensing permits. Please contact us today to learn more!
