Gloucester County, NJ Chimney Inspection by Your Local Crew

Most Gloucester County homes need routine chimney care more than big repairs, provided someone looks at the chimney on schedule. A yearly inspection catches the small things: a cap starting to rust, a chase cover that has dished and holds water, a crown with its first crack. It also matters after a hard storm, when damage up top is easy to miss from the ground. Our crew checks the chimney inside and out, explains what we found and puts any work in a written estimate.

Open 24 hours, Sunday to Friday. Free written estimates.

Chimney Inspection for Gloucester County Homes

On September 1, 2021, a tornado from the remnants of Hurricane Ida damaged more than 100 homes in Deptford Township. After wind like that, NFPA 211 calls for an inspection before the chimney is used again, since a bent cap or cracked chimney top is rarely visible from the yard.

Woodbury's Broad Street Historic District takes in Broad Street between Woodbury Creek and Courtland Street, part of Delaware Street and the county courthouse. Buyers of older homes in and around that district should have the chimney inspected before closing, since a prewar flue may lack a sound liner.

We inspect chimneys in Deptford, Woodbury, West Deptford, Washington Township and Glassboro.

Chimney Inspection Questions in Gloucester County

What should I check on my chimney after a big wind storm?
From the ground, look for a missing or tilted cap, loose flashing and any brick that looks out of line near the top. If anything seems off, or a tree limb hit the roof, have it inspected before lighting a fire or running the boiler hard.
Is an inspection needed when I replace my furnace?
It is a good time for one. A new, efficient furnace may not match the old flue, which can cause poor draft and condensation. We check the size and condition of the flue so the installer and you know where things stand.
How long does an inspection take?
Most homes take under an hour. A tall chimney or a hard roof can take longer, and we tell you before we start.
