Chimney and duct service in Monmouth County

Chimney work in Monmouth County is dominated by weather rather than by sweeping. This is the most exposed part of our service area — nor'easters come straight off the bay — so caps, flashing and crowns account for most of what we do, and the useful appointment is usually the one booked after a storm rather than before a season.

The short answer

We sweep and scan here too, but if a cap has gone, that is the job that comes first.

What we find on these jobs

Friction-fit caps do not reliably survive a serious blow on this coast, and once one has gone the flue takes rain until somebody notices. Flashing that would last twenty years inland does not, because driven rain from the north-east finds any weakness in it. And masonry that never fully dries between storms takes the freeze-thaw cycle far harder than dry masonry does, which is what opens crowns fastest here. The pattern is consistent enough to plan around: check the cap and the flashing after each named storm, and deal with what you find before the freeze works on a saturated stack.

There was a lot of shaking in the chimney at night because the cap had come loose. They took it out and replaced it with a safe locking model, fixed the broken tile below, cleaned up the mess, and checked the…

The formation of water stains around the fireplace was prevented by repairing the flashing. The sealing seems to be well-done and secure. At last, weatherproofing feels solid. Thorough focus on detail.

Questions from Monmouth County

Should I have the chimney looked at after a storm?

On this coast, yes. NFPA 211 calls for a Level 2 inspection after any event that could have moved the structure, and a serious nor'easter qualifies. A lifted cap found in November is a cap; found in February it is a cap, a soaked flue and a ceiling.

My cap blew off. Can it just be put back?

It should be replaced rather than refitted, with a locking cap sized to the flue. A cap that came off once in this exposure will come off again.

Are you really coming this far?

It is the edge of the range rather than outside it. Call and we will tell you honestly what the scheduling looks like instead of booking you and moving it twice.
