Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

AfterChimney Cleaning & Sweep Near You in Cherry Hill, NJ
If you’re searching for chimney cleaning near you in Cherry Hill, NJ, Hearthstone Chimney Co. has been the answer for over 42 years. We serve Cherry Hill and the surrounding South Jersey communities with our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep services, including same-visit sweeps, Level-2 camera inspections, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise – in writing, no arguing. Call (856) 543-2929 and a live person picks up, any hour of the day.
A chimney that hasn’t been swept in a season or two isn’t just dirty – it’s a Creosote Removal situation waiting to become a flue fire. The National Fire Protection Association recommends an annual inspection and cleaning for any chimney in regular use, and in Cherry Hill’s climate, where fireplaces often run hard from October through March, that inspection matters every single year. We document what we find with photos you can actually see, then give you a plain-English verdict on the spot. No mystery, no upsell pressure, no vague reports that leave you guessing.
Russell Haines and the Hearthstone team arrive uniformed, background-checked, and ready to complete most jobs in a single visit. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice – upfront pricing, no surprises.
Fast, Local Chimney Cleaning & Sweep
When you search “chimney cleaning near me,” speed matters. We schedule appointments throughout Cherry Hill and the surrounding townships quickly, and for urgent situations – a flue fire, a blocked damper, heavy smoke backing into the house – a live person at (856) 543-2929 is available around the clock to talk through next steps and get a technician moving.
Most sweeps and inspections are done in a single visit. Our technicians carry professional-grade equipment and materials from brands like Copperfield and Olympia Chimney, so if a cap needs replacing or a minor repair comes up during the sweep, we can often handle it the same day rather than scheduling a return trip. That matters when you’ve taken a morning off work to be home.
Same-day availability depends on schedule, so calling early in the week gives you the best window. Either way, you’ll speak to a person – not a voicemail box, not a callback queue – who can give you an honest timeline.

- Camden – older rowhouse stock and colonial-era fireplaces that need careful inspection before each season.
- Gloucester Township – a mix of ranch homes and newer builds, many with factory-built fireplaces that still require annual cleaning.
- Evesham Township – larger suburban homes with wood-burning inserts that accumulate creosote faster than open fireplaces.
- Waterford Township – more rural pockets where wood is a primary heat source and chimney maintenance is especially critical.
- Winslow Township – properties on larger lots, often with older masonry chimneys that benefit from our Level-2 camera inspection.
- Pennsauken – mid-century homes with original flues that we see regularly for full sweeps and liner evaluations.

What a Hearthstone Chimney Sweep Actually Looks Like
Some sweeps arrive, run a brush through the flue, and leave a receipt. That’s not how we work. Here’s what a standard cleaning visit looks like when a Hearthstone technician comes to your Cherry Hill home.
Before the brushes come out
We start with a visual assessment of the firebox, damper, smoke chamber, and exterior cap as part of our Fireplace Cleaning process. For most customers we include a Level-2 camera inspection, which means a camera travels the full length of the flue and we look for cracks, spalling, mortar joint deterioration, or any obstruction – a bird nest in the upper flue is more common in South Jersey than most homeowners expect, particularly in homes that sit near the wooded buffer zones along Evesham Road and Springdale Road.
The sweep itself
We use professional-grade rotary equipment and drop cloths to keep your firebox and hearth clean. Creosote and debris are removed and bagged – we don’t leave the mess for you. For flues with Stage 2 or Stage 3 creosote glaze, a standard brush pass isn’t enough, and we’ll tell you that honestly before we start rather than after.
The verdict
After the sweep, we walk you through the photos from the camera inspection. If we see something that needs attention – a cracked terra cotta tile, a failing mortar crown, a damper that isn’t sealing – we explain what it is, why it matters, and what fixing it costs. You decide. There’s no pressure, no manufactured urgency, and no follow-up calls asking if you’ve thought about it.
Every job is covered by the 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, we come back and make it right. That’s the whole policy – no paperwork, no arguing.
What Chimney Cleaning Costs Near Cherry Hill, NJ
A straightforward chimney sweep and Level 1 Inspection in the Cherry Hill area typically runs between $149 and $299 for a single flue. The range depends on flue height, accessibility, and the degree of creosote buildup. Homes in Evesham and Waterford that use wood as a primary heat source often land at the higher end because the flue simply has more to clean.
| Service | Typical Range (Cherry Hill Market) |
|---|---|
| Standard chimney sweep (single flue) | $149 – $249 |
| Sweep + Level-2 camera inspection | $199 – $299 |
| Seasonal Tune-Up (standing offer) | $89 |
| Chimney cap replacement (standard size) | $175 – $425 installed |
| Minor mortar repair during visit | $95 – $250 |
Current standing offers: $50 Off Any Repair Over $250, a Free Second Opinion on any written estimate you’ve received from another company, and a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans. The $89 Seasonal Tune-Up is the most straightforward entry point for a homeowner who wants a professional set of eyes on the flue before lighting the first fire of the season.

Why Cherry Hill Homeowners Call Hearthstone First
Cherry Hill is a mature suburb. Most of the housing stock along Kings Highway, Kresson Road, and the older sections near Ellisburg was built between the 1950s and 1980s – which means a lot of original masonry chimneys, a lot of terra cotta liners that have been through four decades of freeze-thaw cycles, and a lot of dampers that haven’t been serviced in longer than the current owner can remember.
We understand that customer profile because we’ve been working in these neighborhoods since 1984. Russell Haines started this company when Ronald Reagan was president, and the plan is to still be here when the grandkids of current customers need their chimneys swept. A company with that timeline doesn’t cut corners on materials or hide costs in fine print.
The professional-grade materials we use – HeatShield for smoke chamber and flue tile repairs, DuraFlex stainless liner systems, Gelco and Famco components for cap and chase work – are the same products that commercial chimney contractors specify on historic restorations. We don’t substitute builder-grade parts because the repair won’t hold and we’ll be back to do it again. That costs everyone time.

A Note on Safety: When to Call Before You Light
Chimneys that haven’t been inspected in more than twelve months should not be used until a qualified sweep has evaluated them. This is not an upsell pitch – it’s the honest position of the Chimney Safety Institute of America and every fire code in Camden County.
High-tension flue components, cracked firebox panels, and deteriorated liner sections are not DIY repairs. The temperatures and draft pressures inside an active flue make amateur work genuinely dangerous. If you’ve moved into a home and don’t know the chimney’s history, or if you saw smoke backing up into the room last season, call before you light a fire. We’ll tell you clearly what we find and what – if anything – needs attention before the firebox is safe to use.

What Our Customers Say
"Second property I have had them at. Both times the tech showed me photos from inside the flue before quoting anything."
- Ryan Hoffman"Booked a sweep, and he told me it did not need one yet and to call back next season. Charged me the inspection fee and nothing else."
- Tara Delaney"Creosote buildup was worse than I realized. He measured it, put a camera up to show me the glazing on the flue, and was honest that we were closer to a chimney fire than I wanted to hear."
- Mark Bennett
