Adrian V Chimney Inc was founded to help first-time homeowners in Pemberton and the surrounding communities navigate chimney maintenance without the overwhelm. We know buying your first home is exciting, but it also comes with questions—especially about things like chimney safety that weren’t covered in the inspection report.

Unlike big-box chimney services that tack on ‘inspection fees’ or ‘disposal charges,’ we quote you one price upfront for sweeping, inspections, or repairs. Our free estimates include photos, videos, and a written report so you can see what’s happening—and decide what to fix now vs. later. We’ll never recommend work you don’t need, and we’ll explain why in plain English. Your trust matters more than a quick sale.
Every masonry repair, flue relining, or waterproofing job we do comes with a 10-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. If a brick falls out or a sealant fails within a decade, we’ll fix it at no cost—because we stand behind our work. We’re the only Pemberton chimney company offering this guarantee, and it’s our way of proving we’re here for the long haul.

Call or book online for a same-day or next-day visit. We’ll confirm your address (Pemberton, NJ or nearby towns like Bordentown or Robbinsville) and ask about your fireplace’s history—how often you use it, if you’ve noticed smoke smells, or if you’ve had issues in the past.
Our certified sweep arrives on time, inspects your chimney with a camera and tools, and explains what we find in plain English. We’ll show you photos or videos of cracks, creosote buildup, or blockages, then give you a fixed-price quote with no surprises.
After sweeping or repairs, we leave your home spotless—vacuumed floors, wiped surfaces, and no debris left behind. We’ll walk you through what we did, what to watch for, and when to schedule your next service. You’ll get a digital report with photos, videos, and our recommendations.

"We bought a 1940s home on Lakehurst Road and had no idea our chimney was a fire hazard. Adrian’s team swept it, found a cracked flue liner, and fixed it the same week. They explained everything in terms we understood—no scare tactics, just honest work. Our fireplace works perfectly now, and we finally feel safe using it."
"After a raccoon got into our chimney and died, we had a terrible smell for weeks. Adrian’s crew removed the nest, cleaned the flue, and installed a cap to keep pests out. They were on time, professional, and even gave us a discount for the emergency service. Highly recommend for Pemberton-area homeowners."
"I’m a first-time homeowner and terrified of chimney fires. Adrian’s inspection revealed creosote buildup I didn’t even know was there. They swept it, waterproofed the chimney, and taught me how to check for issues myself. The 10-year warranty gave me peace of mind—I wish I’d called them sooner."
"Our chimney started leaking after a heavy rain, and we found water stains on the ceiling. Adrian’s team diagnosed a missing cap and repaired the mortar joints. They worked in the rain to get it done, and the chimney looks brand new. No mess, no fuss—just great service."
"We inherited a fireplace in our new home and had no idea it wasn’t safe to use. Adrian’s Level 2 inspection found a blocked flue and a cracked crown. They fixed it all in two days and showed us the video footage. Their pricing was fair, and they didn’t upsell us on unnecessary work."
"After a chimney fire scare last winter, I knew I had to get it checked. Adrian’s team came out the same day, found the cause (a buildup of creosote in the bends), and cleaned it thoroughly. They even tested our CO detectors to make sure they were working. I sleep better knowing my chimney is safe."

That persistent campfire odor is usually creosote residue trapped in your flue, which releases gases even when the chimney isn’t in use. Pemberton’s humid air can make it worse by keeping moisture locked in the bricks and liner, so the smell lingers longer than in drier climates.
White staining on your chimney’s masonry is efflorescence, a sign water is seeping through the bricks and dissolving natural salts. In Pemberton, where freeze-thaw cycles are common, this can lead to cracks and mortar breakdown if left unchecked.
Those black streaks are called “splash marks” and they’re a red flag for water leaks around the flashing or crown. Pemberton’s frequent rain and wind can push water behind the flashing, so don’t ignore streaks—they often point to hidden rot.
Shine a flashlight up from the firebox: if you see daylight or gaps in the liner, it’s cracked. Pemberton’s older homes often have clay liners that degrade over time, so even small cracks can let heat escape and spark a house fire.
That popping is usually trapped moisture in the bricks or liner expanding from the heat. Pemberton’s damp air means chimneys absorb more water, so the sound is louder here than in drier areas—it’s a warning to check for water damage inside.
A Level 1 inspection is what we do during routine cleanings—checking accessible parts of the chimney. Level 2 is required after a chimney fire, major storm, or when you sell your Pemberton home; it includes a camera scan of the entire flue.
No—soot falling into the firebox means your damper or flue isn’t sealing properly, which can let smoke and carbon monoxide into your home. In Pemberton, where many chimneys are older, this is a common sign of a failing liner or cracked smoke chamber.
Schedule your next inspection 12 months after cleaning, or sooner if you use your fireplace more than 50 times a year. Pemberton’s climate accelerates creosote buildup, so sticking to this schedule prevents hidden hazards from forming between cleanings.
