Chimney Repair in Union Township, NJ

Union Township's capes, ranches and split-levels were built with brick chimneys serving oil or gas furnaces and, in many cases, a fireplace. Several decades of freeze-thaw have cracked crowns and opened joints, and the many homes converted from oil to gas now vent into flues too large for the appliance, which damages the chimney from the inside.

We repair chimneys across the township: crown replacement, repointing, caps, flashing, stainless steel liners, rebuilds of deteriorated upper sections, waterproofing and cleaning. We also handle the masonry and flue work on commercial buildings that still use masonry stacks for heating equipment, with photos and a written scope for owners and property managers.

On capes and ranches, chimneys often rise through a low roof beside a taller dormer or addition, where snow and runoff collect against the flashing. That configuration fails earlier than a chimney on an open gable and is a common source of stains attributed to the roof.

Repair, repoint or rebuild in Union Township

An inspection of the crown, cap, brick, flashing and flue sets the scope. Typical Union Township chimneys need a crown, a cap, repointing of the top courses and, where gas appliances vent through clay tile, a liner. Loose or heavily spalled upper sections are rebuilt from the roofline. We provide photos and a written scope.

If you are planning a roof replacement, have the chimney inspected first so masonry work is done before the new shingles go on.

Union Township Specifics

Chimney problems we see in Union Township

Thin mid-century crowns

Many 1940s to 1960s chimneys were topped with a mortar wash rather than a proper crown. It cracks within a few winters and lets water into the core. We remove it and pour a reinforced crown with overhang and a drip edge.

Oversized flues after oil-to-gas conversion

Gas furnaces and water heaters venting into flues built for oil produce condensation that erodes tile and mortar from inside. A stainless steel liner sized to the appliance corrects draft and stops the damage.

Deteriorated upper courses

Exposed brick above the roof loses mortar and faces to freeze-thaw. We repoint where the brick is sound and rebuild from the roofline where it is not, matching brick as closely as practical so the repair does not stand out.

Flashing beside dormers and additions

Chimneys hemmed in by later construction collect snow and water against their flashing. We rebuild the flashing with step and counterflashing cut into the masonry and add crickets to divert runoff around the chimney.

Missing caps

Open flues take in rain and animals and keep the chimney wet from inside, which accelerates every other problem. We fit caps sized to the flue and screened against nesting as part of most chimney repairs.

FAQ

Chimney Repair in Union Township: your questions

Our furnace was converted to gas years ago. Should we worry about the chimney?

It is worth an inspection. Gas exhaust is cooler and wetter than oil, and in a large clay flue it condenses and slowly breaks down the tile and mortar. The damage is internal and easy to miss until tile fragments show up at the cleanout or the furnace connector rusts. A liner sized to the appliance prevents it.

Can you fix a chimney that leaks only when snow sits against it?

Yes. Chimneys beside dormers or additions trap snow against the flashing, and meltwater finds its way under. We rebuild the flashing with step and counterflashing and add a cricket to divert water and snow around the chimney. If the crown or brick is also contributing, we address that at the same time.

Is a chimney cap really necessary?

Yes. Without one, rain goes straight down the flue, soaks the smoke shelf or furnace connector and keeps the masonry wet from inside. Animals and debris get in. A cap is a small cost that prevents larger problems, and we fit them as part of most chimney repairs.

Do you work on chimneys for commercial buildings?

Yes. Older commercial buildings in Union Township that still use masonry stacks for heating equipment get the same services: inspection, repointing, crowns, caps, liners, flashing and rebuilds. We provide photos and a written scope for owners and property managers.
