Chimney Inspection, Union CountyChimney Inspection in Union County, NJ from Your Local Crew
Union County chimneys mostly vent furnaces and boilers, and the damage gas exhaust does happens out of sight. Moisture condenses inside the flue, softens mortar and flakes clay tile, and the first visible sign is often a small pile of debris at the bottom. A yearly inspection catches that early. We look at the crown and cap from the roof, the flue from inside, and the base and connector in the basement, then go over the findings with you and put any repair in writing first.

Chimney Inspection for Union County Homes
Plainfield, known as the Queen City, has a large stock of preserved 19th- and 20th-century suburban homes. Chimneys on houses that old have usually seen several generations of heating equipment, and an inspection is the way to know whether the flue still suits what runs today.
About 37% of Westfield's housing units were built before 1940, by Census estimates. On those houses we pay close attention to the liner, since original clay tile from that era is often cracked or missing in sections.
We inspect chimneys in Westfield, Plainfield, Summit, Cranford, Roselle and Union Township.
