Chimney Inspection, Salem CountyYour Local Chimney Inspection Team in Salem County, NJ
Salem County's housing leans old, and old chimneys hide problems. More than a fifth of homes here were built before 1940, and a big share went up in the 1950s, so a lot of chimneys are well past the age when liners crack and mortar softens. Our inspection follows each flue from the appliance or fireplace to the cap. We check whether the chimney has a liner at all, look at the crown and flashing, and tell you plainly what is fine and what is not.

Chimney Inspection for Salem County Homes
Census estimates for 2024 put about 22% of Salem County homes before 1940 and about 19% in the 1950s. Many prewar brick chimneys here should be checked for a liner before they are relied on for a wood stove or boiler.
In the early 1900s many Italian immigrants who worked at the Carneys Point plant settled on Pitman Street in Penns Grove. Homes from that period are now more than a century old, and an inspection is the only way to know what condition the flue is in.
We inspect chimneys in Penns Grove, Salem, Carneys Point, Woodstown and Pennsville.
