Chimney repair and sweeping in Cherry Hill Township, NJ
Cherry Hill has the most households of any Camden County township, and most of it went up between 1950 and 1980 on former farmland, colonials, ranches and split-levels, followed by a wave of factory-built fireplaces in the 1970s and 1980s. Many of those units are now around forty to fifty years old, with parts that are no longer made.
In brief
We serve all of Cherry Hill, including Barclay, Erlton, Woodcrest, Kingston Estates and Ashland, with chimney sweeping, inspection, repair and liner work, plus dryer vent and duct cleaning.
What we run into in Cherry Hill Township
Cherry Hill finished switching from oil to gas long ago, and that is the source of its most common chimney problem. Masonry flues from the 1950s and 1960s were sized for coal or oil and now vent a smaller, cooler gas appliance, so condensation forms inside and wears the liner. A separate, large share of the township comes from the 1970s and 1980s, when factory-built fireplaces were installed in quantity. Those units are now past the service life of their fireboxes and refractory panels, several model lines are discontinued, and the work is often replacing the appliance. In the condos and townhouses, dryer ducts tend to run long and turn through shared chases, and every elbow eats into the 35-foot length the code allows.

Cherry Hill Township homeowners ask
Which parts of Cherry Hill do you serve?
The whole township, including Barclay, Erlton, Woodcrest, Kingston Estates, Ashland and Greentree. Call to confirm your address and book a visit.
Our factory-built fireplace is original to the 1970s house. Is that a problem?
It can be. Units from that era are past the service life of most fireboxes and refractory panels, and several are no longer made. We inspect the whole system before recommending anything, and often the honest answer is a replacement.
We are selling our house. When should we book the chimney?
Early. The township's Fire Department asks for weeks of notice before its resale inspection, so it helps to have the chimney and the dryer vent checked well before the listing goes up.
Our condo's dryer takes forever. Could it be the vent?
Quite possibly. Condo dryer ducts here often run long through shared chases, and lint collects at every bend. We clean the full run and measure it against the code limit.
