Oil, gas and wood have all heated Allentown homes over the decades, and many chimneys carry a flue for each era - some lined, some tired, some quietly cracked. We sort out what you actually have, on camera, before recommending any work to you at all.
Your information is kept private and used only for your chimney service request.

Sweep & Cleaning

Chimney Cap Installation

Repair
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 Allentown flue where they belong. In Allentown, hard freeze-thaw is the usual cause, cracking clay tiles a few joints at a time until the gaps matter. Chimney Liner Repair in Allentown, NJ runs on one standard: done properly, checked, and shown to you before we leave.

Winter in Allentown 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 Allentown, 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.
Coastal storms drive rain and wet snow sideways at Allentown chimney tops, tear at caps and soak crowns that are already cracked by freeze-thaw. After a big storm, the cap, crown and flashing all deserve a look before the next fire gets lit.
Where salt air reaches Allentown - the shore towns and harbor neighborhoods - stainless caps, dampers and liner tops corrode years faster than they do inland. The failure is quiet: a seam opens, rain follows, and the flue starts taking water every storm.

Once a year at minimum for a fireplace in regular use - and after about every cord of wood burned, whichever comes first. Allentown fireplaces work for months in a cold flue, and creosote builds steadily the whole season. The sweep and inspection together are the safety check.
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 Allentown chimneys eventually. Many cases call for liner repair or relining, which is a real fix.
Often ice and flashing working together: ice dams push meltwater against the chimney, flashing loosened by freeze-thaw lets it in, and saturated brick passes it through to the wall. The stain shows by the fireplace, but the repair belongs at the roofline and the crown, in that order.
