The technician showed me exactly what he was doing, step by step, while he worked. It was really interesting to look inside the flue with his tablet camera. Very open service!
Chimney and Duct Service in Eleven New Jersey Counties
Royal Chimney Sweep Repair Cherry Hill is based in Cherry Hill Township, Camden County, and the map opens from there. Pennsauken, Collingswood, Haddonfield, Voorhees and Gloucester Township sit just minutes away; the rest of the route, north through Somerset, Hunterdon, Essex, Hudson and Union, is worked by appointment.

Eleven counties, thirty-eight towns
Cherry Hill Township anchors the map, and everything else on this page is described by its distance from here. Pennsauken, Collingswood, Haddonfield, Voorhees and Gloucester Township are close enough to reach in minutes. Cherry Hill Township’s own housing sets the baseline for that work — 72.8% of its 30,775 housing units predate 1980, mostly the colonials, ranches and split-levels built through the postwar decades — and the same pattern of housing eras repeats, town by town, out through Somerset and Hunterdon, the Middlesex and Union corridor, and Essex, Hudson, Bergen and Passaic beyond that. The seven clusters below sort all thirty-eight towns by what their houses are actually built from, not by which county happens to draw the line.
Seven Housing Patterns, Reading Outward From Cherry Hill
Prewar Rail-Town Blocks
Jersey City, Hoboken, Union City and Somerville’s downtown core all grew up before 1940 around a rail line or a ferry slip, so the masonry chimney behind an old brick front predates any modern liner or clearance code.
Somerville · Jersey City · Hoboken · Union City · West New York
Multifamily and Party-Wall Blocks
Flemington Borough, Newark, East Orange, Irvington, Passaic and Paterson put more households behind fewer chimneys — over half of Flemington’s own housing sits in multi-unit buildings — so one flue or one dryer run often answers to more than a single kitchen.
Flemington Borough · Irvington · Newark · East Orange · Passaic · Paterson
Postwar Ranch and Colonial Blocks
Cherry Hill Township is the model for this one: 72.8% of its housing predates 1980. The same belt of ranches, split-levels, Capes and colonials continues through Manville, Edison, Clifton, Parsippany, Pennsauken and Fair Lawn, where the original heating and fireplace systems are well past the service life either was built for.

Bay and Tidal Towns
Perth Amboy, Elizabeth, Bayonne and Middletown Township sit against the Raritan Bay and the Arthur Kill, where salt air and damp ground put a cap, a crown or a piece of flashing through a harder season than the same part sees inland.

Streetcar-Era Suburbs
Bloomfield, Collingswood and Haddonfield grew up along early trolley lines and still show it — Collingswood is 48.9% pre-1940 and Haddonfield 50.1% — so a masonry stack in these towns is more often original brick than a later rebuild.
Haddonfield Borough · Collingswood Borough · Bloomfield
Hunterdon Mill-Hamlet Villages
Readington, Tewksbury and Lebanon Township are built around the old mill hamlets and rail stops of rural Hunterdon County, where stone stacks and heavy reliance on fuel oil and wood mean a visit gets scheduled ahead rather than fit in the same day.
Readington Township · Tewksbury Township · Lebanon Township
The Tract Belt Around Voorhees and Gloucester
Voorhees and Gloucester Township anchor the wider 1970s-to-90s tract build-out that also covers Bridgewater, Hillsborough, Bernards, Franklin, Raritan and Clinton Township, where the standing question on arrival is which era of factory-built fireplace is behind the wall.

I have an ancient farm home with an unlined brick chimney. They cleaned the soot away with soft brushing without disturbing any of the ancient interior mortar joints.
The tech pointed out a small fracture in our firebrick that I would have overlooked entirely. Patched it up there for a very fair amount.
