Winter in Westwood 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.
A Westwood 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 Bergen 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 Westwood 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.

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 Westwood chimneys eventually. Many cases call for liner repair or relining, which is a real fix.
Not before a full camera inspection. Chimney fires crack tiles, warp metal liners and open mortar joints, often with no sign visible from the room. In Bergen County we inspect the entire flue after any chimney fire and report exactly what is damaged before anyone burns again.
Yes - in many Westwood 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.
