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 sweep and repair in Cherry Hill Township, NJ
Cherry Hill Township is where the trucks start each morning — a service-area company with no storefront, just routes through the colonials, ranches, and split-levels built here between 1950 and 1980. Most of those houses converted from oil to gas decades ago, and the masonry flue that once vented a boiler is now oversized for the smaller gas appliance behind it, the condition that lets flue gas condense and eat a liner from the inside.

The short answer
In Cherry Hill Township, Royal Chimney sweeps and inspects flues in 1950s and 60s colonials and ranches, replaces aging factory-built fireplace systems from the 1970s and 80s, and cleans dryer vents and air ducts in the township’s condos and townhouses.
What we find on Cherry Hill Township jobs
The single biggest pattern in Cherry Hill Township is a conversion that finished decades ago but left its mark on the flue. More than eight in ten households now heat with gas, and most of that gas runs through masonry chimneys originally sized for the coal or oil boilers the township’s 1950s and 60s colonials and ranches were built around. An oversized flue runs cooler than the appliance needs, the flue gas condenses on its way up, and that condensation is what breaks down liners and mortar joints over years of otherwise ordinary use. The township’s other major pattern arrived with the factory-built fireplaces installed through the 1970s and into the 1980s — those units are now well past the service life most manufacturers built them for, and several original product lines are no longer made, so the honest fix is often replacing the appliance rather than repairing it. Condo and townhouse buildings near the Mall corridor add a third: dryer ducts routed through shared chases, often long enough to need checking against basic length limits.

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.
Questions from Cherry Hill Township
My house is from the 1960s and always heated with gas — why would the chimney need checking?
Most 1960s Cherry Hill Township houses were originally built for oil or coal, and the masonry flue was sized for that bigger appliance. When a house converts to gas, the same flue is now oversized for the smaller appliance venting into it, which runs cooler and lets condensation form inside — a slow process that is easy to miss without a look.
Our fireplace hasn’t worked right in years — is it worth fixing?
If it is a factory-built unit installed in the 1970s or 80s, it is now 36 to 56 years old, and parts for a lot of those original product lines simply are not made anymore. We will tell you honestly whether a repair is realistic or whether replacing the appliance is the more sensible route.
We’re selling our house — what does the Fire Department inspection involve?
Cherry Hill Township’s Fire Department handles the resale smoke and carbon monoxide certificate, and they generally ask for three to four weeks’ notice before settlement. Getting a chimney and appliance check done early gives you time to address anything the inspection flags without it holding up your closing date.
Do you handle dryer vent cleaning for condos and townhouses?
Yes. Cherry Hill Township has a real concentration of condo and townhouse buildings, and their dryer ducts often run longer and turn more corners than a single-family house’s would. That is exactly the kind of run that benefits from a regular cleaning, since every extra turn makes lint more likely to catch.
