Chimney Sweep In Dover NJ | Chimney Inspections & Repairs
When your chimney is damaged or isn’t working correctly, you need timely solutions. National Chimney Service has helped Dover NJ homeowners for over 20 years with their chimney needs from inspection & cleaning to repair and rebuilding.

Homeowners in Dover, NJ know the importance of having an annual chimney sweep and chimney inspection. National Chimney Cleaners has been servicing chimneys and fireplaces in Rockaway, Kenvil, and Wharton with rave reviews. These neighboring towns trust the professionalism and quality of the technicians and owners.
The NFPA’s standard NFPA 211 ( for chimneys, fireplaces, vents, and solid-fuel appliances) states that chimneys, fireplaces, and vents should be inspected at least once a year, and National Chimney Cleaners agrees. Chimneys should be cleaned based on inspection findings.
The Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) also supports this guidance and trains certified chimney sweeps with NFPA standards.
When a chimney is malfunctioning, potential safety risks could be present or on the way soon. We resolve all common (and all uncommon!) chimney problems for our customers.
- Leaky chimney that could seriously affect the masonry structure, chimney components and nearby building materials of the home
- Chimneys that won’t draft properly and cause smoke to backup into your home
- Leaning chimneys due to structural compromise
- Repeated chimney fires caused by built-up creosote in the flue
- White stains (water penetration) that show up on exterior chimney masonry
- Bad smells coming from the fireplace due to moisture in the flue
- Gas line leaks

Our chimney technicians know how to solve these and all other problems quickly and properly.
We offer chimney inspections, as outlined by the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA). Basic Level 1 inspections cover all the visible areas of your chimney system and should be performed once a year. It’s the best way to stay on top of chimney maintenance and get repairs done early before serious damage requires expensive and complex repair work.
What you can expect when scheduling an inspection:
- Our technician will first conduct a visual inspection, both inside and out.
- The inspector will use a camera to assess the flue liner. They will look for cracks, obstructions, or damage.
- The damper will be inspected to ensure it is operating properly.
- The inspection will also make sure that there is enough clearance between the chimney and any combustible areas located nearby.
- After a thorough inspection, we will provide an inspection report with suggestions or needed repairs, if needed.

When chimney liners are seriously damaged, harmful combustion cases can leak into your home. Additionally, the chimney’s interior masonry and adjacent home building materials are subject to damage from heat and acidic substances. We offer professional chimney relining with sturdy new stainless steel chimney liners.
Your furnace flue doesn’t collect creosote, but it does collect particulate matter that over time can affect the drafting of the furnace. We clean furnace flues, and we also repair them. When relining is necessary, we’ll use a reliable stainless steel liner as we do for chimney flues.
Saving From Costly Chimney Repairs
Repairs can become costly. Finding out about damage sooner rather than later will save you money. Water intrusion is one of the major problems with chimneys and may lead to deterioration. Tackling leaks early can save you in the long run.
The bottom line is that annual inspections are strongly recommended as standard, and sweeping is done as needed, often during or following that inspection.
