Chimney Inspection, Monmouth CountyYour Local Chimney Inspection Crew in Monmouth County, NJ
Along the Monmouth County shore, the yearly chimney inspection does double duty. It checks the usual things, the flue, liner, firebox and appliance connection, and it also catches the damage wind and salt do to caps, crowns and flashing between storms. NFPA 211 calls for an inspection every year and another after any event that may have caused damage, which here includes a hard storm as well as a chimney fire. Our crew checks the chimney from the cap down and explains what we find.

Chimney Inspection for Monmouth County Homes
When Hurricane Sandy arrived in October 2012, floodwater at Sandy Hook was measured at 13.31 feet above normal, breaking every previous local record. A chimney can look fine after a storm like that and still have a loose crown, a damaged cap or a wet base, which is why we inspect after big storms.
Much of Middletown grew rapidly right after World War II. Chimneys from that growth are now decades old, and an inspection there usually focuses on the crown, the flue tile and whether the flue still suits the furnace and water heater.
We inspect chimneys in Middletown, Hazlet, Keansburg, Red Bank and Long Branch.
