Chimney Inspection, Somerset CountyYour Local Pros for Chimney Inspection in Somerset County, NJ
In Somerset County, a gas-venting chimney can look perfectly fine from the street while its liner is falling apart inside. Gas exhaust is full of water vapor, and in a cold or oversized flue it condenses and breaks down mortar and clay tile. A yearly inspection, the schedule NFPA 211 sets, is when we confirm the liner still suits the furnace and water heater using it, and check the crown, cap, flashing and firebox while we are there. You get straight answers and a written price for any repair.

Chimney Inspection for Somerset County Homes
Census estimates show the 1980s and 1990s as Somerset County's busiest building decades, at about 17% and 15% of homes, with only about 10% older than 1940. Chimneys from those decades are reaching the age when crowns crack and flashing wears, which an inspection picks up early.
Bridgewater was mostly a farming community until the 1960s, and its population began to rise in the 1970s. That leaves a mix of old farmhouse chimneys and suburban ones, and we adjust what we check to the age and fuel of each.
We inspect chimneys in Bridgewater, Branchburg, Hillsborough, Montgomery Township and Warren Township.
