Chimney Inspection, Cape May CountyChimney Inspections From Your Local Crew in Cape May County, NJ
Salt air, steady wind and the occasional hurricane mean a chimney in Cape May County can change a lot in one season. NFPA 211 calls for a chimney inspection every year, and again after any storm or event that might have caused damage. We look at the cap, crown, flashing and brick from the roof, then check the flue, smoke chamber and firebox from inside. You get a written summary of what is sound, what needs watching and what needs work, with upfront pricing on any repair.

Chimney Inspection for Cape May County Homes
Hurricane Sandy in 2012 caused major or severe damage to 29 percent of the houses in Ocean City. Damage like that is not always visible from the street, which is why we look closely at a chimney after a hurricane or a hard nor'easter before anyone lights a fire.
In 1976 nearly all of Cape May, apart from the Coast Guard Training Center, was named a National Historic Landmark as the Cape May Historic District. If your house is inside it, an inspection gives you a clear description of the chimney's condition to bring to the local historic preservation body before any visible repair.
Our crew inspects chimneys across Cape May, Ocean City, Lower Township, Middle Township and Wildwood.
