Your information is kept private and used only for your chimney service request.

Winter in Berlin 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.
Ice dams at the roof edge push meltwater under shingles and against chimney flashing all winter in Camden County. The leak that shows by the fireplace in February often starts at frozen flashing, not the flue - and it returns every thaw until it is fixed.
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 Berlin 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 Berlin - 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. Berlin fireplaces work for months in a cold flue, and creosote builds steadily the whole season. The sweep and inspection together are the safety check.
Usually a cold flue. A tall masonry chimney in Berlin holds heavy cold air that pushes down until a fire warms the flue, so the first minutes spill smoke. Creosote narrowing, a stuck damper or a missing cap make it worse. We check the whole path before suggesting fixes.
Yes - in many Berlin 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.
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.
Yes - it is one of the highest-value inspections a New Jersey buyer can order. Sellers rarely know the flue condition, and cracked tiles, an unlined section or heavy creosote are all invisible from the room. You get a plain report on what is sound, what needs work and what can wait.
No — and be wary of anyone who does. Every chimney fails differently, so a phone price is a guess that changes at your door. Our estimates are free: a tech looks at the actual problem, then gives you one clear price before any work starts.
