Chimney Inspection, Sussex CountyChimney Inspections in Sussex County, NJ, From Your Local Pros
A Sussex County winter is long, cold and hard on chimneys, so the time to inspect is before it starts. We look at every flue in use, whether it serves an oil boiler, a propane furnace, a wood stove or a fireplace, and check the cap, crown and flashing for damage from last year's snow and ice. In converted lake cottages and older village homes, we also confirm that the chimney has a liner and proper clearances before you rely on it through the cold months.

Chimney Inspection for Sussex County Homes
Lake Mohawk, a 300-acre lake made by damming the Wallkill River in 1928, began as a private resort of summer homes that were winterized starting in the 1940s. A summer home turned year-round house may have a chimney never meant for months of steady fires, and an inspection confirms whether it can handle them.
Census estimates for 2020 to 2024 put the median year built of housing in Newton at 1962, with about 37% of housing units built before 1940. Prewar chimneys often lack a sound liner, and that is the first thing we check.
We inspect chimneys in Sparta, Newton, Hopatcong, Vernon and Byram.
