Creosote, soot and ash removed from the flue, smoke shelf and firebox — the deep clean that kills the campfire smell and the fire risk with it.

Chimney Liner Repair
Cracked tiles, gaps at the joints, a liner that is shifting — liner faults found on camera and repaired so hot gases stay inside the Allendale flue where they belong. A tight liner also restores draw, so some smoking fireplaces in older homes trace back to tiles, not the firebox.

Winter in Allendale is long and hard, the housing stock is old, and many chimneys predate modern liner standards entirely. This is what we actually find here, and what we check on every visit.
Water enters mortar joints and crown cracks across Allendale, freezes hard, expands and pries the masonry apart a little further with every cycle. By late winter the evidence is spalling brick, open joints and leaks that were hairlines back in the fall.
Some older New Jersey chimneys were built with no liner at all, and others carry liners that stop short or crack at the joints. Hot gases and sparks reach mortar and framing through those gaps, so the camera inspection comes before the first fire, not after.
A tall exterior chimney in a Allendale January holds a column of heavy cold air that sinks into the room between fires, carrying creosote smell with it and making the first fire smoky. A clean flue, sound damper and right cap solve most of it.
A chimney fire can crack flue tiles and warp metal liners without leaving much evidence in the room - the fire burns up, not out. Any chimney in Bergen County that has had one needs a full camera inspection before it is used again, without exception.

Serious enough to fix before another winter. Mortar is the sacrificial layer that keeps water out of the brickwork, and freeze-thaw in New Jersey opens failed joints fast once they start. Repointing sound brick is a repair; waiting until bricks loosen and shift turns it into a rebuild.
Not until a tech has seen how extensive the cracking is. Tiles are the barrier between hot gases and the masonry and framing behind them, and hard freeze-thaw cracks them in most older Allendale chimneys eventually. Many cases call for liner repair or relining, which is a real fix.
Yes - in many Allendale homes the furnace, boiler or water heater vents through its own flue in the shared stack, and oil and gas liners crack, soot up and block with age. A blocked appliance flue can spill exhaust indoors, so we inspect every flue in the chimney.
