Oil, gas and wood have all heated Westfield 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.
The six services Westfield homeowners call us for most - from a flue heavy with a winter of creosote, to mortar opened by hard freeze-thaw. Everything on this page is chimney in Westfield, NJ — the work, the local conditions and the coverage.
Sweep & Cleaning
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 Westfield, the sweep includes a full look at tiles and mortar, because a hard winter finds every weak joint in the flue. Booking chimney sweep in Westfield, NJ takes one call, and the tech arrives with everything the job needs.

Inspection & Care
Chimney Inspection
A full inspection of flue, liner, cap, crown, flashing and firebox — camera inside the flue, with a plain-language report of what is safe, what is not, and what can wait. In Union County, furnace and boiler flues share these stacks, so every flue gets inspected and reported, not just the fireplace. Booking chimney inspection in Westfield, NJ takes one call, and the tech arrives with everything the job needs.

Install & Replace
Chimney Cap Installation
A quality stainless cap keeps rain, birds and sparks where they belong. Fitted to your flue, secured properly, and screened against animals. Around Westfield, caps are secured against winter storm winds, because a cap lost in January leaves the flue open to every thaw. That is chimney cap installation in Westfield, NJ, done the way it should be.

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 Westfield flue where they belong. In Westfield, hard freeze-thaw is the usual cause, cracking clay tiles a few joints at a time until the gaps matter. That local standard is what chimney liner repair in Westfield, NJ means with Chimney Service Co.

Winter in Westfield 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 Westfield, 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.
A tall exterior chimney in a Westfield January holds a column of heavy cold air that sinks into the room between fires, carrying creosote smell with it and making the first fire smoky. A clean flue, sound damper and right cap solve most of it.
A chimney fire can crack flue tiles and warp metal liners without leaving much evidence in the room - the fire burns up, not out. Any chimney in Union County that has had one needs a full camera inspection before it is used again, without exception.

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.
Yes - in many Westfield 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 Union 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.
