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 going up 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 — cracked refractory panels, rusted firebox seams, corroded chase covers — with original manufacturer parts frequently out of production.
The short answer
Royal Chimney Repair Bridgewater services Voorhees Township, covering Echelon, Ashland, Kirkwood, Kresson, Glendale 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 Voorhees jobs
More than a third of Voorhees' housing dates to the 1980s, the single peak decade for factory-built metal fireplaces, and those units tend to fail as complete systems rather than piece by piece — cracked refractory panels, rusted-through firebox seams, corroded chase covers, deteriorated listed chimney sections — with the original manufacturers' parts frequently out of production. On a unit from 1985, the honest answer is usually replacing the appliance rather than repairing a chimney around it. Voorhees also carries the highest electric-heat share of any town we serve in the county, which means a real number of homes have no heating flue at all; the venting inventory there is just a fireplace, a water heater and a dryer, and the dryer is often the only vent anyone has ever had cleaned. In the township's Echelon and Ashland condo and apartment corridor, dryer ducts frequently run long and turn through shared chases, and each 90-degree elbow eats into the code's 35-foot developed-length allowance — the violation we find most often and label least.

Our factory-built fireplace is original to the house from the 1980s. Is it worth repairing?
Often not on its own. Units from that decade are now failing as complete systems — cracked panels, rusted firebox seams, corroded chase covers — and the original manufacturer's parts are frequently discontinued. We inspect the whole assembly first, since replacing the appliance is usually the more honest answer than patching one part.
We heat with electricity and don't have a fireplace. Is there anything to inspect?
Usually yes, just a smaller list. Even without a heating flue, most homes still have a dryer vent, and it's frequently the only vent that's never been cleaned. We check dryer duct length and routing, especially in condo or townhouse construction where it runs through shared chases.
I live in a condo in the Echelon or Ashland area. Does that change dryer vent service?
It often does. Ducts in that condo and apartment corridor tend to run longer and turn through shared chases rather than 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 recommending a fix.
