Chimney sweep and repair in Haddonfield Borough, NJ

What we find on Haddonfield jobs

Haddonfield's chimneys are old enough to have lived through three fuels. A stack built for coal in the early twentieth century got converted to oil at some point and then to gas later still, and each swap tends to leave the flue larger than the new appliance needs, which is the setup for condensation trouble down the road. Corbelled brick, multiple flues sharing one stack, and crowns that predate the point where a crown was standard practice are all common finds here, simply because so much of the borough's housing predates any of those details being required. Oil is still more common in Haddonfield than in the other towns we cover nearby, and oil leaves a different residue than gas condensate or wood creosote, a harder, more acidic glaze on the flue tile that behaves differently under a brush. With the lowest share of electric-only heating of any town on this list, more Haddonfield houses are running both a heating appliance and a fireplace through their own flues than anywhere else we work, which means more venting to check per property.
