The Services We Bring for Lodi Homeowners

Whatever prompted your chimney cleaning near me search, we likely handle it. We are set up for every service here, start to finish.

Chimney Sweep

When smoke cools on its way up a Lodi chimney, the tar it carries sticks to the masonry, and that accumulation is what a sweep removes. The team masks the firebox opening, pulls negative air through a HEPA system, and works the brush through the smoke chamber, flue, and damper area in sequence. The wood-burning culture across Bergen County means many of these chimneys see heavy use and need a sweep more often than the once-a-decade myth suggests. We document the creosote level we found so you have a real baseline for when the next sweep is genuinely due. Reach 908-228-9707 for a Bergen County sweep that comes with photos, not a sales pitch.

Chimney Inspection

A chimney inspection is the one service every other Lodi chimney job starts from, because you cannot fix what nobody has actually looked at. We inspect from the firebox up through the smoke chamber and flue to the cap, camera-document the interior, and put the findings in writing. In Lodi, fireplaces that sat dormant for a few owners frequently hide animal nests or debris an inspection reveals before the first fire. You will understand precisely what your chimney needs and what it does not, backed by photos you can see for yourself. Call 908-228-9707 to schedule a Lodi chimney inspection with a written report.

Chimney Repair

Most chimney leaks in Lodi are not coming through the flue at all but through cracked crowns, failed flashing, or spalled brick that lets water in. Our masons repoint failing joints, rebuild or seal the crown, reset flashing, and replace spalled brick, whatever the inspection shows is letting water in. Many Lodi chimneys are original to homes built decades ago, with soft old mortar that has simply reached the end of its service life. We quote the repair in writing before any work starts, so there are no surprises and no pressure to approve more than the chimney needs. Get us at 908-228-9707 for tuckpointing, crown, and flashing repair across Bergen County.

Chimney Cap Installation

Birds, squirrels, and raccoons treat an uncapped Lodi flue as prime real estate, and the nests they build are both a blockage and a fire hazard. Our caps are stainless or copper, never the rust-in-two-seasons cheap steel, and we mount them to handle the wind a Lodi roofline takes. The mix of chimney sizes across older Lodi housing means a cap is rarely off-the-shelf, so we size it to the flue in front of us. The cap carries a real warranty, and we install it so that warranty actually means something. Reach us at 908-228-9707 for a stainless or copper cap sized to your chimney.

Chimney Crown Repair

A failing crown is often the real reason a Lodi chimney leaks, even when the flashing and brick look perfectly fine from below. The crew repairs hairline crown cracks with a purpose-made coating, or forms and pours a new crown with the overhang the original was missing. Older Lodi homes frequently have crowns that were patched with the wrong material before, and that failed patch is part of what we fix. No exaggerating a sealable crack into a full demolition; we scope the crown work to what the slab really needs. Phone 908-228-9707 for honest crown repair on your Lodi chimney.

Chimney Liner Installation

Heat from a chimney fire, or just decades of use, cracks the clay tiles lining a Lodi flue, and a damaged liner has to be replaced before the fireplace is used again. Johnsons Chimney Sweep confirms the need with a camera scan, specifies the right liner, flexible stainless or cast-in-place, sizes it to your appliance, and installs it insulated to code. In Bergen County, many relines follow a failed real-estate inspection, where the camera found gaps no one knew were there. The quote covers a correctly sized, code-compliant liner, with no hidden add-ons once the work starts. Dial 908-228-9707 to reline your Bergen County chimney the right way.
