Your Local Chimney Repair Experts in Union County, NJ

A great many Union County chimneys were built in the 1950s, and they are now at the age where the weather has found their weak spots. Freeze-thaw winters crack the crown, wash out mortar near the top and loosen the flashing, and gas exhaust wears the inside. Our crew repairs what is failing and leaves what is sound, from a rebuilt crown or a few courses of brick to new flashing and a cap. You get a written price first, and the same crew sees the job through.

Chimney Repair for Union County Homes

In Union Township the busiest building decade was the 1950s, with about 26% of housing units. Chimneys from that wave usually carry a furnace and water heater, and the repairs we see most are cracked crowns and worn mortar at the top of the stack.

Clark's median year built is 1961, and the largest share of its housing, about 32%, went up in the 1950s. Many of those houses share the same chimney design, so the same problem often shows up on one house after another along a street.

We repair chimneys in Union Township, Clark, Linden, Scotch Plains and Springfield.

Chimney Repair Questions in Union County

My 1950s chimney in Clark has white stains on the brick. What does that mean?
White stains, called efflorescence, mean water is moving through the masonry and leaving salts behind. The cause is usually a cracked crown, a missing cap or open joints, and we fix the source rather than just cleaning the stain.
Can you repair just the top of the chimney?
Often, yes. If the damage stops a few courses below the crown, we take down only that section, relay it with matching brick and pour a new crown. The rest of the chimney stays as it is.
Can a small crack wait?
It can wait a little, but freeze and thaw cycles widen cracks every winter. Fixing a crown or a few joints early costs far less than rebuilding.
