Chimney Inspection, Hudson CountyYour Local Chimney Inspection Team for Hudson County, NJ
In Hudson County, a chimney often serves more than one household and more than one appliance, and nobody living in the building has looked at it in years. An annual inspection, the baseline NFPA 211 sets, is how you find out whether each flue is lined, whether the crown and cap are holding and whether the boiler is venting where it should. Our Hudson crew checks the stack from the roof and the connections in the basement, then tells you in plain words what is sound and what is not.

Chimney Inspection for Hudson County Homes
In the late 1970s and 1980s, buyers in Hoboken snapped up many turn-of-the-20th-century brownstones and late-1800s apartment houses. Many were renovated then, and the boilers and water heaters have changed since, so we check that each flue still suits what vents into it.
About 29% of housing units in Jersey City date from before 1940, by Census estimates. In buildings that old, the original clay tile has often cracked or gone missing in places, which is what an inspection is meant to catch before exhaust finds its way into the walls.
We inspect chimneys in Jersey City, Hoboken, Bayonne, Kearny and North Bergen.
