Chimney Sweep & Repair in Franklin Township (Somerset County), NJ
About 5 miles west of downtown New Brunswick in Somerset County, Franklin Township (Somerset County) has roughly 68,900 residents. The typical home in Franklin Township was built around 1986, a period that mixed site-built masonry chimneys with factory-built fireplace systems — so caps, crowns, and flashing tend to fail before the structure itself does. Most homes in Franklin Township (about 78%) heat with natural or propane gas, and gas furnaces and water heaters vent through the chimney too — a blocked or deteriorated flue can push carbon monoxide back into the house. At roughly 1,490 residents per square mile, it is a typical suburban-to-semi-rural community. We serve Franklin Township together with nearby communities such as North Brunswick Township, Manville and New Brunswick.
New Jersey winters are cold and damp, with repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and storms and salt air along the Shore add moisture and wind stress — all of which are hard on chimney masonry, caps, and flashing.

Franklin Township (Somerset County) Chimney FAQ
My Franklin Township home heats with gas — does the chimney still need attention?
Yes. Gas furnaces and water heaters vent through the chimney, and a cracked, blocked, or oversized flue can let exhaust gases, including carbon monoxide, back into the house. An annual inspection catches this early.
