Adding a fireplace or stove means getting the venting right the first time. We install units from Napoleon and Majestic, size the flue correctly, and pull the permits required by the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.

Chimney Tuckpointing
Mortar joint failure is what lets water into brick chimneys. We grind out the old mortar with an angle grinder and diamond blade, then repack joints with tuckpointing mortar matched to the original.

Chimney Waterproofing
Waterproofing is the cheapest insurance a masonry chimney can get. We apply breathable sealant that stops water penetration while letting the brick dry, typically extending chimney life by years.

Chimney Mortar Repair
Small mortar cracks grow fast through freeze-thaw cycles. We cut out failing mortar with a masonry trowel and mortar jointer, then rebuild the joint so the repair holds through winter.

Chimney Sweep
A proper sweep removes creosote, soot, and blockages from the flue. We use flue brushes and rods, protect your hearth with drop cloths, and check the damper and smoke chamber while we're there.

Start with what you notice
Chimney problems we fix in Orange
Most chimney calls come down to water, creosote, or age. Here are the issues we see most often in Orange and how we handle them.
Water staining on the ceiling near the chimney
That stain usually means flashing or crown failure, not a roof problem. We trace the water path, repair the flashing or rebuild the crown, and seal the masonry so it stops coming back.
Smoke rolling into the room when you light a fire
Smoke backdraft points to a blockage, a cold flue, or a sizing issue. We inspect the flue, clear any obstruction, and check the damper and smoke chamber to restore proper draft.
Crumbling mortar and spalling brick on the chimney
Freeze-thaw cycles destroy mortar joints over time. We grind out the failing mortar, repack joints with tuckpointing mortar, and replace spalled brick so the chimney stays solid.
Creosote buildup you can see or smell
Creosote is flammable and builds up faster than most people realize. We sweep the flue with proper brushes, remove the buildup, and tell you how often your fireplace needs cleaning.

How do I choose a chimney repair contractor in Orange NJ?
