For our homeowner's insurance, we needed proof. They did a full check with photos and video, cleaned the flue, fixed some small problems with the mortar, and sent a professional report the same day. The insurance company agreed to cover…
Chimney sweep and repair in Cherry Hill Township, NJ
Cherry Hill was built out fast between 1950 and 1980, mostly as colonials, ranches and split-levels on old farmland, and that single stretch still shapes almost every job we run here. Some of those houses have a masonry chimney sized for a fuel that left the house decades ago. Others have a factory-built metal fireplace from the 1970s or 1980s that is well past the age most of those units were ever meant to last.

The short answer
We sweep, inspect and repair chimneys across Cherry Hill, and clean air ducts and dryer vents in its condos, townhouses and houses alike. Which job it is depends on whether the fireplace behind the wall is masonry or a listed metal unit.
What we find on Cherry Hill jobs
Cherry Hill's finding depends on when the house was built, and the township has two clear generations of it. In the 1950s and 1960s houses, most already converted to gas, the masonry flue is oversized for the appliance now venting through it, and the cooler exhaust condenses on the liner instead of clearing it, which is the main way these older flues fail from the inside out. In the 1970s and 1980s houses, the fireplace itself is usually a factory-built metal unit rather than masonry, and those units are now decades past the service life most manufacturers built into a refractory panel or a firebox seam. We see cracked panels, rusted seams and corroded chase covers on units whose parts are no longer made. Add to that the township's condos and townhouses, where dryer ducts routinely run longer than a house's would and turn through more elbows on the way out, and a Cherry Hill route in a single week can mean a settlement-cracked exterior chimney, a discontinued 1985 firebox and a dryer vent nobody has opened since the building went up.

Excellent communication throughout the process. I received a text when the tech was on his way, and he arrived exactly when promised to do the sweep.
After it rained a lot, we saw wet spots on the wall next to the chimney. A broken crown and worn-out flashing were found by the team. They put in new lead boots instead of flashing, poured a new sloped crown, sealed all the joints, and…
Questions from Cherry Hill Township
My house was built in the 1960s and heats with gas. Why would the chimney still need attention?
Most 1950s and 1960s Cherry Hill houses were built for coal or oil and converted to gas later. The flue is usually sized for the old appliance, and gas exhaust runs cooler, so it can condense inside a flue that large instead of clearing it.
My fireplace is a metal insert from the 1980s. Is that different from a brick chimney?
Yes. A factory-built unit is a listed system with its own parts, not brick and mortar. At 37 to 46 years old, cracked refractory panels and corroded chase covers are common, and original manufacturer parts are frequently discontinued, so replacement is often the honest answer.
I live in a Cherry Hill condo. Do you clean dryer vents in buildings like that?
Yes. Condo and townhouse dryer ducts tend to run longer and turn more corners than a single house's does, which makes them more likely to exceed the length a duct is meant to run before it needs a labeled exception.
I'm selling my Cherry Hill house. Does the chimney need anything before closing?
Cherry Hill's Fire Department performs the resale fire-safety inspection for smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, and typically asks for a few weeks' notice before settlement. A separate chimney inspection is worth scheduling alongside that, well before your closing date arrives.
