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 Gloucester Township, NJ
Gloucester Township's median house dates to 1979, a decade newer than Cherry Hill's, and almost a quarter of its homes were built in the 1970s alone. That build-out means the dominant fireplace here is a listed factory-built unit set into a framed chase, not a solid masonry stack, and the township also carries the largest count of shared-wall townhouses of any town we cover nearby.

The short answer
We inspect and repair factory-built fireplaces and their chase covers across Gloucester Township, sweep the masonry chimneys that do exist here, and clean dryer vents and air ducts in the township's houses, townhouses and mobile homes alike.
What we find on Gloucester Township jobs
Gloucester Township's housing came up mostly in one long run from the 1960s through the 1990s, and a median build year of 1979 means the typical hearth here is a listed factory-built appliance in a framed, sided chase, not a masonry fireplace. The recurring problems follow: a chase cover corroded or loose at the seams, chase flashing that has failed and let water track behind the siding, and firebox components reaching the end of a service life never as long as brick and mortar's. The township's townhouse rows add a second pattern. With more attached single-family homes here than in any other town we cover nearby, many Gloucester Township chimneys share a chase or party wall with the house next door, so a single failed cover or cracked crown can let water into more than one household's flue while the neighbor has no idea anything is wrong. And because the median house here is younger than Cherry Hill's or Pennsauken's, an oil or propane appliance found in a Gloucester Township home is rarely original equipment, so its vent connector and flue were likely sized for something else.

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 Gloucester Township
My fireplace is a metal unit in a framed enclosure, not brick. Is that unusual for Gloucester Township?
No, it's the norm here. With a median house built around 1979, most Gloucester Township fireplaces are factory-built units set into a framed chase rather than solid masonry, so the failure points are the chase cover, flashing and the firebox itself, not mortar joints.
I live in a townhouse and share a chase with my neighbor. Does that matter for chimney work?
It can. Gloucester Township has more of this shared-chase townhouse construction than any other town we cover nearby, and a failed cover or cracked crown on one side can let water into a neighboring flue without either household noticing right away.
Our house has an oil furnace but I don't think it's original. Should the chimney be checked?
Yes. Most Gloucester Township houses are newer builds where an oil or propane appliance is rarely the equipment the house was originally built with, which means the vent connector and flue may be sized for a different appliance than the one now running through them.
Do you handle chimneys on mobile homes in Gloucester Township?
Yes. Mobile and manufactured homes use listed metal chimney systems and direct-vent appliances with their own clearance and support requirements, quite different from either masonry or a framed-chase fireplace, and we service and inspect those systems for homeowners here as well.
