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.

We’ve been working Evesham Township long enough to know what we’re actually looking at when we pull up to a Marlton-area colonial or bi-level. Most of these aren’t masonry chimneys at all. They’re factory-built, zero-clearance prefab fireplaces tucked inside vinyl- or Hardie-sided chases, and their 20-30 year service life means the round galvanized chase cover rusts through and dumps water onto the firebox years before the homeowner notices anything wrong. That’s the reality of cap and crown work here. Not brick and mortar. Metal flues, chase covers, flashing, and refractory panels that fail quietly until they fail catastrophically.
Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Evesham’s Preferred Chimney Cap & Crown Company
Evesham homeowners have been calling us since well before the township’s building boom peaked. We’ve watched the K. Hovnanian and Centex communities off Greentree Road and Tomlinson Mill Road age from new construction to the point where their prefab systems need real intervention, not just a brush and a vacuum. Our Chimney Cap & Crown team knows the difference between a chase cover that has two seasons left and one that’s already funneling water into the wall cavity.
Our reviews from Evesham customers consistently mention the same things: the technician showed them the camera footage, explained what they were seeing, and didn’t push work they couldn’t verify. That’s the 90-Day Done Right Promise in action - Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it. In writing, no arguing.
We’re in Burlington County weekly. Response time to Evesham is typically three to five business days for non-urgent cap and crown work, faster when water is actively entering the chase. And because we stock professional-grade materials from Gelco, Olympia Chimney, and Famco, most jobs finish in a single visit once scheduled.
Our Chimney Cap & Crown Services in Evesham
Custom Cap Installation
Most Evesham prefab systems left the factory with a cheap galvanized chase cover that was never meant to last thirty years. A custom cap - measured to your chase’s exact dimensions, fabricated in stainless steel or copper - replaces that failure point permanently. We template on-site, show you the drawing before ordering, and install with proper clearances and fastening. In the planned communities near Marlton where HOA rules restrict visible changes, we match profiles that keep architectural review boards satisfied.
Multi-Flue Cap
Townhomes along Evesham’s older stretches - particularly the 1980s and early 1990s clusters near the intersection of Route 70 and Evesham Road - often share a chase with two flues terminating side by side. A single multi-flue cap covers both with one integrated structure, eliminating the gap between separate caps where water and debris collect. We size these from Gelco and Olympia Chimney stock, or fabricate custom when the flue spacing is non-standard. The key detail most crews miss: the cap must extend far enough past the chase edge to shed water onto the roof, not the siding.
Crown Repair
When a prefab chase does have a masonry crown - typically a thin concrete wash at the top of a framed chase - Burlington County’s freeze-thaw cycles from November through March crack it predictably. Water gets in, freezes, expands, and opens the crack wider each season. Crown repair here means removing the loose material, treating the exposed edge, and applying a proper crown coat formulated for thin-section applications. We don’t slop on sealant and call it done. The repair gets shaped for drainage, cured properly, and documented with before-and-after photos you can see.
Crown Coating
For crowns with hairline cracking but sound substrate, coating extends service life five to ten years at roughly half the cost of rebuild. We use professional-grade flexible crown coatings - never the box-store acrylics that peel in two seasons - applied to a prepared surface after camera inspection confirms the chase structure beneath is dry and intact. In Evesham’s humidity, preparation matters more than the product. We grind, prime, and coat in conditions that let the material bond.

Trusted Brands We Service in Evesham
We work exclusively with professional-grade materials: Gelco for standard and custom chase covers, Olympia Chimney for multi-flue assemblies and replacement flue components, and Famco for specialized flashing and termination hardware. These aren’t builder-grade substitutes you track down at a big-box store. We stock common sizes and configurations locally, which means Evesham customers aren’t waiting three weeks for a part to ship. When we measure your chase on Tuesday, the custom cap is typically fabricated and ready for install by the following week. That’s the difference between a company that plans to be in town in thirty more years and one that might not answer the phone next season.
Common Chimney Cap & Crown Problems We See in Evesham Homes
- Galvanized chase covers rust through at the seams. The factory covers on 1990s prefab systems in Evesham’s Centex and K. Hovnanian developments were never galvanized to last. Once the seam separates or the center rusts thin, water pours straight onto the firebox below. We catch this with a camera inspection before the refractory panels degrade past recovery.
- Vinyl and Hardie chase siding leaks at the flashing. Moisture enters the wall cavity, rots the chase framing, and corrodes the metal flue from the outside in. The homeowner sees a water stain on the ceiling and assumes it’s the roof. Often it’s the chase flashing, failed for years.
- Freeze-thaw pops cap fasteners and cracks crown wash. Burlington County’s winter temperature swings stress every termination. Fasteners back out, gaps open, and the thin crown wash on prefab chases cracks within a few seasons. Annual inspection catches this before water enters.
- Refractory panel deterioration hidden below the damper. Homeowners smell something off or notice drafting problems. The real issue is a rusted or cracked refractory panel, caused by years of moisture from a failed chase cover. No cap replacement fixes this alone. We show you the camera footage and explain exactly what needs what.

FAQs - Chimney Cap & Crown in Evesham
Yes, and arguably more urgently. Prefab metal flues terminate with a chase cover that serves the same protective function as a masonry crown and cap combined. When that cover rusts or blows off, water enters the chase directly and degrades the firebox components. Most Evesham prefab systems we inspect need chase cover replacement, not just cleaning. Call (856) 543-2929 and we’ll show you exactly what yours looks like from the inside.
Demand to see camera footage of the panels, and ask the technician to point to the specific defect - cracking, warping, or rust staining from above. In our field vignette from a 1996 Greentree Road colonial, we ran the camera with the homeowner watching the monitor: first-degree creosote at the top, but a rusted-through refractory panel below the damper that no sweep alone would have caught. We don’t recommend panel replacement without this documentation. Photos you can see, a plain-English verdict. That’s our standard.
A multi-flue cap spans two or more flue terminations with one integrated cover, eliminating the gap between separate caps where water and debris collect. A single custom cap covers one flue or chase. If your Evesham townhome or duplex shares a chase with a neighbor’s flue, or you have a fireplace and a furnace vent terminating together, multi-flue is the correct solution. We measure both flue positions and fabricate to fit.
Yes, and we’ll show you why. Crown coating works when the substrate is sound and cracks are hairline. Rebuild is necessary when the crown is spalling, separating from the chase structure, or saturated with moisture. Our Level 2 inspection includes moisture meter readings and probing where accessible. We don’t coat over rot. The recommendation comes with camera evidence and a clear explanation of what happens if you defer.
Because the cap and crown are the most visible parts, but they’re rarely the only problem. In Evesham’s 20-30 year old prefab systems, a failed chase cover often hides refractory damage, flue corrosion, or chase framing rot that isn’t visible until you look. The Level 2 inspection is how we connect the symptom - your call about the cap - to the full condition of the system. Nothing is recommended without camera evidence you can see. That’s not upselling. That’s doing the job right.
