Chimney Inspection, Hunterdon CountyYour Local Chimney Inspection Team for Hunterdon County, NJ
A Hunterdon County street can hold a stone farmhouse and a 1980s colonial side by side, each with a very different chimney. The old one may have deep mortar loss and unlined flues, while the newer one may be venting an oil or propane boiler into a flue that no longer fits. A yearly inspection, as NFPA 211 recommends, covers both. Our crew looks at the masonry, liner, crown, cap, firebox and appliance connection, then explains what we found in plain words.

Chimney Inspection for Hunterdon County Homes
About 17% of Hunterdon County homes predate 1940 by Census estimates, while the busiest building decade was the 1980s, at about 21%. That spread means an inspection here has to cover everything from soft historic mortar to flue sizing on later houses.
Oldwick, in Tewksbury, has more than 100 structures with Victorian, Federal, New England and Georgian style homes. Chimneys on houses that old have often been altered over the years, and an inspection shows which flues are lined and which are still safe to use.
We inspect chimneys in Tewksbury, Readington, Raritan Township, Lambertville and Frenchtown.
