Chimney repair and sweeping in Voorhees Township, NJ
Voorhees is the newest township we serve in Camden County, with a median build year of 1983 and more than a third of its homes built in the 1980s alone. That decade was the peak for factory-built metal fireplaces, and those systems are now old enough to fail as a whole unit, often with the original parts out of production.
In brief
We serve all of Voorhees, including Echelon, Ashland, Kirkwood, Kresson and Glendale, with chimney sweeping, inspection, repair and liner work, plus dryer vent and duct cleaning.
What we run into in Voorhees Township
More than a third of Voorhees housing comes from the 1980s, the busiest decade for factory-built metal fireplaces, and those units tend to fail as complete systems, with cracked refractory panels, rusted firebox seams, corroded chase covers and worn chimney sections. On a unit from 1985 the honest answer is usually a new appliance. Voorhees also has the highest electric heat share of the towns we serve in the county, so many homes have no heating flue at all, and their venting is just a fireplace, a water heater and a dryer, with the dryer often the only vent anyone has ever cleaned. In the Echelon and Ashland condo and apartment corridor, dryer ducts often run long through shared chases, and each elbow eats into the 35-foot length the code allows.

Voorhees Township homeowners ask
Which parts of Voorhees do you serve?
The whole township, including Echelon, Ashland, Kirkwood, Kresson, Osage, Glendale and Brighton Heights. Call to confirm your address and book a visit.
Our factory-built fireplace dates from the 1980s. Is it worth repairing?
Often not on its own. Units from that decade are failing as complete systems and many parts are discontinued. We inspect the whole assembly first, and a replacement is usually the more honest answer than patching one piece.
Our home has electric heat. What venting do we have?
Usually a fireplace, a water heater and a dryer vent. The dryer vent is the one most often forgotten, and it is the first one we check.
Our condo's dryer vent runs through the building. Can you clean it?
Yes. We clean the full run from the dryer to the outside, measure it against the code limit and work with the association when the run is shared.
