About Toms River
Toms River, in Ocean County, includes ZIP codes 08753 through 08757 and 08739; its downtown village is the center of township and county government.
The population grew sharply in the decades after World War II, helped by the opening of the Garden State Parkway.
In March 1782, British and Loyalist troops attacked the militia blockhouse on the river and destroyed the salt works and most houses in the village.
National Register listings include the Ocean County Courthouse and houses such as the Captain Amos Birdsall House and the Captain George W. Giberson House.
We serve Toms River homes in ZIP codes 08753, 08754, 08755, 08756, 08757, 08739.
What This Means for Your Toms River Chimney
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 Toms River were built before 1978, and 2.7% 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.
