Winter in Andover 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 Andover, 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.
Generations of Andover homes heated with oil, then gas, and those appliance flues live inside the same chimney as the fireplace. Oil soot, acidic condensate and cracked tiles degrade those liners quietly, and a failing appliance flue is a safety problem, not a detail.
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 Andover 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.

Once a year at minimum for a fireplace in regular use - and after about every cord of wood burned, whichever comes first. Andover fireplaces work for months in a cold flue, and creosote builds steadily the whole season. The sweep and inspection together are the safety check.
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 Andover chimneys eventually. Many cases call for liner repair or relining, which is a real fix.
Yes - in many Andover 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.
Late summer or early fall, before heating season. Every neglected chimney in Sussex County seems to surface the same week in October, and that is when schedules fill. A sweep and inspection in September means your first fire is routine instead of a gamble on an unchecked flue.
