About Lakewood
Lakewood is the most populous township in Ocean County and uses ZIP code 08701.
Once known as Bergen Iron Works and then Bricksburg, the town was renamed Lakewood in 1880 and became a fashionable winter resort.
George Jay Gould's 1896 estate is now Georgian Court University, and a property John D. Rockefeller bought in 1902 is now Ocean County Park.
The township has four man-made lakes: Lake Carasaljo, Manetta, Shenandoah and Lake Waddill.
We serve Lakewood homes in ZIP code 08701.
What This Means for Your Lakewood Chimney
Older homes, older flues
Where homes date from before the 1940s, chimneys often have clay tile flues, soft lime mortar or no liner at all, and decades of freeze and thaw open the joints. A yearly inspection catches cracked tiles and failing mortar while the fix is still small. Read: What Is a Clay Flue Liner?
Wind, rain and salt air
Near open water, wind drives rain sideways into the chimney and salt air corrodes metal caps and flashing faster. A sturdy cap and sound flashing keep water out of the flue and the masonry. Read: Does My Chimney Need a Cap?

Half of the homes in Lakewood were built before 1993, and 3.9% date from before 1940, so a good share of chimneys here were built to older standards, with clay tile liners and crowns that are now decades old. With about 116 freezing nights a year in Ocean County, water that gets into a crack freezes and widens it again and again, which is why we check the crown and flashing on every visit.
