Call (856) 543-2929

The township’s housing stock presents a distinctive challenge. Cherry Hill was built almost entirely during a concentrated suburban boom in the 1960s and 1970s, triggered by the 1961 opening of Cherry Hill Mall and rapid Philadelphia-area flight to Camden County suburbs. That means an unusually dense concentration of similarly-aged masonry chimneys, most now 50-60 years old and hitting the same critical deterioration window simultaneously. A large share of those homes later converted from oil-fired furnaces to natural gas without relining the chimney, leaving original terra cotta flue tiles sized for high-temperature oil exhaust now venting cooler gas appliances. The result is condensation, acidic byproduct buildup, and accelerated liner failure that a standard sweep alone won’t catch.

We document every inspection with photos you can see and a plain-English verdict. No surprises on the bill. And if something’s not right, we make it right - the 90-Day Done Right Promise, in writing, no arguing.

Why Cherry Hill Homeowners Choose Hearthstone Chimney Co.

Homeowners in Erlton, Kingston, and the streets off Route 70 call us because we’ve been the ones who show up when we say we will, explain what we found without talking down, and leave the job site cleaner than we found it. Russell Haines built this company on the K.E.Y.S. code - Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it - and that hasn’t changed since 1984.

Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and equipped to complete most jobs in a single visit. We use professional-grade materials from HeatShield, Gelco, and Olympia Chimney - never builder-grade substitutes that fail in five years. The price we quote is the price you pay. No add-ons sprung at the door, no “while we’re here” pressure.

Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our New York City office, but our crews serve Cherry Hill locally and know the township’s specific chimney configurations. We’ve worked on the split-levels near Springdale Road, the colonials in Ashland, and the ranches tucked behind the Route 38 commercial corridor. When you call (856) 543-2929, a live person answers - not a voicemail tree, not a callback queue, not an app.

Chimney Cleaning Services We Offer in Cherry Hill

Chimney Cleaning & Sweep

Our standard sweep removes creosote buildup, obstructions, and debris from the flue using professional-grade brushes and HEPA-contained vacuums. In Cherry Hill’s older neighborhoods, we frequently find heavy glazed creosote in fireplaces that haven’t been used regularly, plus the acidic residue that accumulates in gas-converted flues. Learn more about our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Cherry Hill.

Chimney Repair

Freeze-thaw cycles in Cherry Hill’s Delaware Valley winters steadily degrade mortar joints and clay tile liners in the township’s 1960s-1970s chimney stock. We repoint deteriorated mortar, rebuild damaged sections, and address spalling brick before water intrusion compromises the structure. Learn more about our Chimney Repair in Cherry Hill.

Fireplace Services

From damper repair to firebox rebuilding, we restore the components that make your fireplace safe and functional. Cherry Hill’s original tract-home fireplaces were often built with minimal clearance and basic materials that now require careful evaluation after decades of use. Learn more about our Fireplace Services in Cherry Hill.

Chimney Cap & Crown Installation

Nor’easters drive wind-driven rain into chimney crowns and exposed mortar, accelerating spalling in chimneys whose crowns have never been replaced since original construction. We install Gelco and Famco caps and pour new concrete crowns with proper drip edges and slope to shed water away from the masonry.

Chimney Liner & Rebuild

In older Cherry Hill neighborhoods, we regularly find chimneys converted from oil to gas heat in the 1980s or 1990s with no relining work done. The oversized clay tile flue vents a modern 80% gas furnace at temperatures far too low to prevent heavy condensate and acidic residue accumulation. We install DuraFlex stainless steel liners sized correctly for the appliance, restoring safe draft and preventing further deterioration.

Neighborhoods We Serve in Cherry Hill

We work throughout the township, with crews typically arriving within a few business days of your call. These are the neighborhoods where you’ll find our trucks most often:

• Erlton - original 1960s colonials and split-levels with dual-flue chimneys common to the township’s tract developments
• Kingston - ranch and split-level homes where oil-to-gas conversions left oversized flues unlined
• Ashland - mature neighborhoods with chimneys now reaching critical maintenance age
• Springdale - homes near the Route 70 corridor with original single-wythe brick chimneys
• Woodcrest - larger properties with multiple fireplaces requiring systematic inspection

Why Cherry Hill’s Climate & Housing Affect Chimney Cleaning

Cherry Hill’s position in the Delaware Valley exposes chimneys to repeated freeze-thaw cycles each winter. Water seeps into hairline cracks in aging mortar, expands when temperatures drop below freezing, and widens those cracks progressively. By late February, a chimney that looked sound in October can show significant spalling and joint deterioration. This is especially true for the township’s single-wythe brick chimneys, built with one layer of brick rather than the two or more layers found in older Philadelphia construction.

The dual-flue configuration common in Cherry Hill’s split-level, ranch, and colonial-style homes adds another layer of complexity. A single chase often contains one flue serving the living room fireplace and another serving the basement mechanical-room appliance. After decades of uneven use - the fireplace flue maybe used twice a winter, the furnace flue running daily for months - these flues can develop cross-contamination or drafting problems that only a Level-2 camera inspection reveals. We’ve found flues so deteriorated that exhaust from one was leaking into the other, a condition invisible from the roofline but immediately apparent on camera.

The oil-to-gas conversion history compounds this. In neighborhoods like Erlton and along the Route 70 corridor, we regularly encounter chimneys where the original terra cotta liner, sized for 500°F oil exhaust, now handles 120°F gas exhaust. The cooler temperatures prevent proper draft, allow moisture to condense inside the flue, and create an acidic environment that eats away at the clay tile from the inside out. The homeowner sees nothing wrong. The furnace works fine. But the liner is failing structurally, and carbon monoxide can leak through cracks into living spaces. This is why we photograph everything and explain what we found in plain English - so you can see what we see and make an informed decision.
