Chimney repair and sweeping in Cherry Hill Township, NJ
Cherry Hill is Camden County's biggest township by household count, and most of it went up between 1950 and 1980 on former farmland — colonials, ranches and split-levels, plus a wave of zero-clearance factory-built fireplaces through the 1970s and '80s. Those units are now well past fifty years old, with parts and appliance lines the original manufacturers have long since discontinued, which changes the conversation from repointing a chimney to replacing what's inside it.
The short answer
Royal Chimney Repair Bridgewater services Cherry Hill Township, covering Barclay, Erlton, Woodcrest, Kingston Estates, Ashland and the rest of the township, with chimney sweeping, inspection, repair, and liner work, plus air duct and dryer vent cleaning.
What we find on Cherry Hill jobs
Cherry Hill finished its oil-to-gas conversion decades ago, and that is exactly the problem: masonry flues built in the 1950s and '60s were sized for coal or oil, and now vent a smaller, cooler gas appliance. The lower flue-gas temperature condenses inside that oversized space, and condensation is the dominant liner-failure mechanism we see here. A separate, larger share of the township dates to the 1970s and '80s zero-clearance fireplace era — factory-built units now 36 to 56 years old, past the service life of their fireboxes and refractory panels, with several model lines discontinued outright. That's appliance replacement work, not a repointing job. In the township's condo and townhouse stock, dryer ducts often run long and turn through shared chases rather than straight out a rim joist, and every 90-degree elbow trims five feet off the code's 35-foot allowance. Exterior brick chimneys on 1950s and '60s slab and crawl-space construction are also a common site of settlement separation from the wall face.

Our factory-built fireplace is original to the house from the 1970s. Is that a problem?
It can be. Zero-clearance units from that era are now 36 to 56 years old, past the service life of most fireboxes and refractory panels, and several manufacturers have discontinued the model lines entirely. We inspect the whole system before recommending anything, since the honest answer on an older unit is often replacement rather than repair.
I live in a condo or townhouse in Cherry Hill. Does that change dryer vent service?
Often, yes. Ducts in condo and townhouse construction tend to run longer and turn through shared chases instead of exiting straight out a wall, and each 90-degree elbow cuts into the code's 35-foot length allowance. We measure the actual run before cleaning or repairing it.
My exterior chimney looks separated from the house. Is that serious?
It's worth a look. On Cherry Hill's 1950s and '60s slab and crawl-space homes, exterior brick chimneys separating slightly from the wall face is a pattern we see often, usually settlement rather than a sudden failure — but the gap should be inspected before it lets water in.
