Chimney Inspection, Middlesex CountyYour Local Chimney Inspection Pros in Middlesex County, NJ
Most Middlesex County homes were built after World War II, and their chimneys are now well past half a century old. A typical one carries the furnace and water heater exhaust, sometimes with a fireplace flue beside it, and age shows in predictable places: the crown, the liner, the flashing and the base of the flue. An annual inspection, as NFPA 211 recommends, catches those before they turn into leaks or venting problems. Our crew goes from the cap to the cleanout and explains what we see.

Chimney Inspection for Middlesex County Homes
Census estimates put about 15% of Middlesex County homes in the 1950s and another 15% in the 1960s, with only about 10% older than 1940. A postwar flue of that age is where we most often find cracked clay tile and a broken-up crown, and a yearly inspection is how you catch them.
Watson-Crampton, next to the Woodbridge River, was one of the neighborhoods hit hardest by Hurricane Sandy. NFPA 211 calls for another inspection after any event that may have damaged a chimney, and after a storm or flood we check the base, cleanout and appliance connection as well as the top.
We inspect chimneys in Woodbridge, Edison, Piscataway, East Brunswick and Old Bridge.
