Chimney Inspection, Warren CountyYour Local Chimney Inspectors in Warren County, NJ
Warren County's housing is unusually old, and that makes inspections more than a formality. A quarter of the county's homes were built before 1940, and in Phillipsburg it is more than half. Chimneys from that era often have no liner or have clay tiles that cracked long ago. We inspect each flue in use, look at the crown, flashing and mortar, and check whether a modern furnace or water heater has been tied into an old chimney. Then we explain what we found in plain terms.

Chimney Inspection for Warren County Homes
Census estimates for 2020 to 2024 put the median year built of housing in Phillipsburg at 1938, with about 51% of housing units built before 1940. Many of those chimneys have no liner or cracked tiles, and an inspection should confirm what is inside before a boiler or stove relies on it.
In Blairstown, about 21% of housing units were built before 1940 and the busiest building decade was the 1970s, at about 23%. Both prewar and 1970s chimneys are now at an age when liners, crowns and flashing need a careful yearly look.
We inspect chimneys in Phillipsburg, Blairstown, Washington, Hackettstown and Lopatcong.
