Fireplace, chimney and dryer vent service in Voorhees Township, NJ
Voorhees is the youngest town we cover in Camden County. Fewer than 2,000 people lived here through 1950, and by 1990 the township had passed 24,000. More than a third of its homes went up in the 1980s alone, which puts a lot of factory-built metal fireplaces behind Voorhees mantels.
In brief
We inspect and service factory-built fireplaces, sweep and repair masonry chimneys, and clean dryer vents and air ducts from Echelon and Ashland to Kirkwood and Kresson. In the township's condo and apartment buildings the dryer vent is often the biggest job on the list.
Metal fireplaces that have reached their age
A fireplace installed in a 1980s Voorhees house is usually a listed, factory-built unit, a steel firebox lined with refractory panels and topped by a metal chimney inside a framed chase. These units wear out as a set. The panels crack, the firebox seams rust through, and the chase cover on the roof corrodes and starts sending water down into the box. Many of the original manufacturers no longer make parts for these models, so after the inspection the straight answer is sometimes a new unit rather than a repair. In the homes heated by electricity, the fireplace, the water heater and the dryer may be the only things that vent at all, and the dryer is often the one nobody has cleaned since move-in. In stacked condos and townhouses a dryer duct can easily exceed the 35 foot limit once the elbows are counted.

Reviews from our Google listing
A selection of our 5-star reviews on Google.
Polishing the ceramic glass and unblocking the air-wash intake passages turned our heavily used woodstove back into an effective heat source.
Static-cling barriers locked the aperture tight, so that high soot agitation inside the top flue never wandered into the next-door kitchen.
The entire sweep was completed with engineering precision and purity never before witnessed from meticulous pre-setup to HD inside camera feature.
What Voorhees Township homeowners ask us
Our 1987 fireplace has cracked panels in the back. Can they be replaced?
If the manufacturer still makes panels for your model, yes. We read the rating plate inside the unit to identify it. When the parts are gone, a replacement listed unit is usually the safe choice, and we explain the options before you decide.
We heat with electricity. Do we still need a chimney service?
If you have a fireplace, yes. Any fireplace you use needs its flue and chase checked, and a dryer vent still needs cleaning regardless of how the house is heated.
Our condo dryer takes two cycles to dry a load. Is that the vent?
Very often. Long duct runs with several elbows collect lint quickly, and the airflow drops long before the hood looks blocked. We clean the full run and check its length against the code limit.
Why is there rust stain on the firebox floor after rain?
That usually points to the chase cover on the roof. Once it rusts or holds water, rain runs down the metal chimney into the firebox. Replacing the chase cover stops it, and we check the chimney sections for damage at the same time.
