Chimney Sweep
The full professional sweep: rotary brushes scrub the flue from top to bottom while a HEPA vacuum keeps every speck of soot sealed in — the visit that keeps a chimney safe to burn in. In Camden County, where many flues serve both a fireplace and a furnace, the sweep report covers the whole stack. That local standard is what chimney sweep in Mount Ephraim, NJ means with Chimney Service Co.

Winter in Mount Ephraim 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 Mount Ephraim, 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.
A Mount Ephraim fireplace is often real heat, burned nightly for months, and steady burning in a cold masonry flue lays down creosote layer on layer. That buildup is the fuel in a chimney fire, which is why annual sweeping here is safety work, not housekeeping.
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.

Once a year at minimum for a fireplace in regular use - and after about every cord of wood burned, whichever comes first. Mount Ephraim 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 Mount Ephraim 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 Mount Ephraim 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.
