Chimney and duct service in Morris County

Chimney work in Morris County is seasonal and largely routine, with one thing worth knowing: houses here have two flues more often than anywhere else we work, and the second one is the one people do not know to ask about. It serves a family-room fireplace or a wood stove added decades after the house was built, and it does not get thought about because it is not the fireplace anybody pictures.

The short answer

We sweep and scan both on one visit, and we look at the connector pipe on a stove as well as the flue above it.

What we find on these jobs

Crowns and mortar joints wear faster in this part of the service area than anywhere else in it, because the freeze-thaw count is higher — water in a joint freezes and expands more times each winter, and that is the mechanism that opens both. Alongside that we find the second flue in the state you would expect of something never touched, and stove connector pipes corroded at the joint, which is the part that goes first and the part easiest to overlook. The sensible booking window here is September rather than the first cold weekend in November, when everybody calls at once.

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 Morris County

I have two fireplaces. Is that two appointments?

One visit, two flues. What matters is that the second one gets looked at — out here it is very often the one that gets missed, because a stove flue added later does not look like part of the chimney.

I put in a wood stove years ago. Does that flue need doing?

Yes, and so does the connector pipe between the stove and the flue. That pipe corrodes first and it is the easiest part of the whole system to overlook.

When is the best time to book?

September, before the first genuinely cold weekend. The work is identical in September and in November; the difference is that in September you pick the appointment.
