Hi-Nella chimneys do the hardest heating work in the country - months of steady wood fires, deep cold, and freeze-thaw cycling on brick that is often a century old. Our sweeps clean thoroughly, inspect on camera, and leave the flue safe for the long season ahead.

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 Hi-Nella flue where they belong.

Winter in Hi-Nella 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 Hi-Nella, 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.
Colonial, Victorian and early suburban homes give Hi-Nella some of the oldest chimneys in daily use - hand-laid brick, clay tiles, fireboxes built before modern codes. They reward careful inspection and punish shortcuts, and we report honestly what is sound and what is not.
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.
Where salt air reaches Hi-Nella - 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.

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 Hi-Nella chimneys eventually. Many cases call for liner repair or relining, which is a real fix.
Yes - in many Hi-Nella 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.
Late summer or early fall, before heating season. Every neglected chimney in Camden 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.
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.
