Chimney sweep and duct cleaning in Cherry Hill Township, NJ

Cherry Hill is the anchor of our Camden County work, the largest township on this list and the one whose postwar build-out sets the pattern for the towns around it. A visit here still means a planned date rather than a same-day fit-in — we're a genuine drive from Bloomfield — but the housing itself, mostly 1950s through 1980s colonials, ranches and split-levels, is some of the most consistent stock we cover anywhere.

The short answer

Cherry Hill's chimneys are overwhelmingly gas-fed now, and the flues were built for the oil furnaces this housing shipped with in the 1950s and 60s — a mismatch that shows up as condensation working on the liner before anyone notices it from the fireplace.

A postwar chimney, a furnace it never met

Cherry Hill's housing is some of the most consistent we work with anywhere in Camden County — post-war colonials, ranches and split-levels built between 1950 and 1980 on what used to be farmland, most of it going up in the twenty years after the 1961 shopping center helped rename the township. Eight in ten of those houses run on gas today, and the most common thing we find is the flue that never caught up: a shaft sized for the oil furnace the house was built with, now venting a much smaller gas appliance whose exhaust cools and condenses before it reaches the top, working on the liner from the inside. A close second is the township's factory-built fireplace stock from the 1970s and 80s, now old enough that firebox seals and chase covers are failing on units whose original manufacturers have stopped making parts. In the condo and townhouse pockets, dryer ducts routed through shared chases with several turns are the other recurring finding — every elbow eats into the length the vent is allowed to run, and long runs here tend to exceed it.

Matthew Jones

Honest good working local company. The amount they quoted me on the phone was the price I paid after the service was completed.

Megan Gough

Expert setup, high-powered vacuums, and absolutely no dust residue. Excellent work.

Lucille Jensen

Water had been leaking around the chimney flashing, but the repair solved it completely. The crew sealed and reinforced the affected area with precision. Rain is no longer a concern. The workmanship looks strong and durable.

Questions from Cherry Hill Township

Our furnace runs on gas but the chimney feels oversized. Is that a problem?

Often, yes, and it's the single most common thing we find in Cherry Hill. A flue built for a mid-century oil furnace is usually much bigger than a modern gas appliance needs, so the exhaust cools and turns to moisture before it clears the top — moisture that then works on the liner from the inside. A properly sized liner is the usual fix.

Our fireplace insert is from the 1970s. Can it still be serviced?

Sometimes, but plenty of units from that era are past their intended service life, and original parts for some model lines simply aren't made anymore. We'll tell you plainly whether yours can be kept running or whether it's genuinely time to replace the appliance rather than keep chasing parts for it.

We live in a townhouse with a shared chase for the dryer duct. Should we be worried?

It's worth checking, since shared chases with several turns are exactly where we find restricted dryer runs most often in Cherry Hill's condo and townhouse pockets. Every elbow the duct takes eats into the total length it's allowed to run, and a long shared run with a few bends can exceed that limit without anyone realizing.

We're selling our Cherry Hill house soon. Does the chimney factor into that?

It can. The township's fire department handles the smoke and carbon monoxide compliance check that closings require, and that office generally wants three to four weeks' notice, so it's worth having any chimney work sorted well before the inspection window rather than discovering an issue during it.
