Why Chimney Maintenance in New Jersey Should Be on Your To-Do List This Year

When was the last time you had your chimney inspected or cleaned? If you had to pause and think, you’re not alone. Chimneys are one of the most overlooked parts of a home—until there’s a problem.

At All Pros NJ, we’ve seen firsthand how regular chimney maintenance can prevent costly repairs and serious safety hazards. Whether you’re using a wood-burning fireplace in the winter or have a gas heating system, your chimney works hard all year long—and it deserves some attention.

If you’re in New Jersey and you’re wondering whether your chimney is in good shape, keep reading. We’re breaking down the why, when, and how of chimney care—and how we can help.

What Happens When You Neglect Your Chimney?

Let’s start with what can go wrong. Many homeowners assume that if there’s no visible smoke or strange smell, the chimney must be fine. But that’s not always the case.

Here are some common chimney problems we come across in homes across NJ:

Creosote buildup – This flammable residue from wood fires can lead to dangerous chimney fires if not removed.
Cracked chimney crowns or flue liners – These leave your home vulnerable to moisture damage and poor air flow.
Brick and mortar deterioration – Over time, water and weather cause bricks to crumble and mortar to decay.
Blocked chimneys – Nesting animals, debris, or structural damage can block airflow and force carbon monoxide back into your home.

Scary stuff, right? The good news is, all of this is avoidable with routine inspections and maintenance.
