Long cooling seasons and heavy summer rain drive the two problems we see most here: moisture getting into assemblies, and anything that traps it staying wet.
Creosote is what burns in a chimney fire. Third-degree creosote is glazed and hot enough to crack flue tile, and removing it is the entire point of an annual sweep.
A Level 2 inspection with a video scan is the standard before a property transfer, after a chimney fire, or when the appliance or fuel type changes.
What the job includes
- Annual sweeping and creosote removal
- Level 1 and Level 2 inspections
- Stainless cap and crown repair
- Flue liner installation

Public figures for the township of Hamilton in Mercer County, not the metro, and the general practice that follows.
The Trenton Mercer Co Ap station averages 97 nights a year at or below 32°F and 26 at or below 20°F.1,2 Repeated freeze-thaw cycles open small masonry cracks; an inspection should include the crown, the cap and the condition of the flue tiles. The median home in the township of Hamilton was built in 1964, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the New Jersey median of 1970.3 Older masonry chimneys may be unlined or have cracked clay tile liners; a Level 2 camera inspection is the standard way to confirm the liner before the first fire of the season.
The stock is old by national standards: 75% of Hamilton's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 4% since 2010.3 Rainfall is substantial: about 46 inches a year, 12 days of it an inch or more.1,2 Heavy rain tests the flashing and crown; most chimney leaks enter there rather than through the brick, and the inspection report should say which. Heating dominates the year: about 4,977 heating degree days against 1,050 cooling degree days (base 65°F).1,2 In a heating-led climate, insulation and air sealing carry most of the energy-code weight for any work that opens the envelope.
