Chimney Inspection in Hamilton, NJ
Hamilton Chimney Repair inspects masonry chimneys in Hamilton and the surrounding Mercer County towns: before a sale, after a chimney fire, when an appliance is being replaced, or when something is leaking and nobody can say where from.
An inspection is a written record, not a sales call. You get the photographs, the camera footage stills, and a plain description of the condition of each component, including the ones that are fine.
Which level of inspection you need
Level 1: nothing has changed
Same fuel, same appliance, no known problem. Readily accessible portions of the chimney and the connections, checked visually.
Level 2: something has changed
A sale, a new or different appliance, an earthquake or chimney fire, or a leak nobody has traced. Adds camera scanning of the full flue interior plus accessible attic and crawl space.
Level 3: the report calls for it
Where a hazard is suspected and cannot be seen without removing masonry. Rare, invasive, and only recommended when a Level 2 has established a reason for it.
What an inspection covers in Hamilton
- Interior: appliance connection, damper, firebox, smoke chamber, and any clearance issues.
- Flue: full-length camera scan, tile by tile, recording cracks, shifts, and blockages.
- Exterior: crown, cap, flashing, joints, and plumb, from the roof rather than the ground.
- Structure: attic and accessible framing where the chimney passes through.
- Written report with photographs, and a repair list ordered by urgency, with nothing invented.
What you get afterwards
A written report with photographs and camera stills, keyed to each component, delivered as a file you can send to a buyer, an insurer, or another contractor. If it needs repair we will quote the repair, and if it does not, the report says that too. We do not run inspections as a route to selling a reline.
What an inspection costs in Hamilton
Level 1 and Level 2 are priced differently because the Level 2 includes the camera scan and the report takes longer to write. Access, chimney height, and the number of flues move it. When an inspection is the first step of a repair we are already quoting, we credit it against the work. Say so when you call and we will confirm that in writing.
