Benton Chimney Co - in Livingston, NJ
Trade Capabilities
Creosote Sweeping & Obstruction Clearing
Thorough mechanical sweeping clears third-degree glazed creosote, bird nests, and drafting soot from smoke chambers. We operate industrial HEPA extractors alongside triple-layer canvas hearth containment to protect interior carpets.
Internal Diagnostics
Flue Camera Scans & Relining
Our 360-degree digital inspection cameras descend full flue lengths to uncover hairline tile cracks, mortar deterioration, and dangerous liner voids. Damaged flues receive custom-fit UL-listed stainless steel relining systems engineered for decades.
Weather Protection
Chimney Caps, Spark Arrestors & Chase Covers
Heavy northeast rains deteriorate unprotected masonry crowns. We measure and bolt custom stainless steel spark arrestor caps and galvanized chase covers that prevent rainwater intrusion, animal nesting, and downdrafts.
Structural Masonry
Tuckpointing, Crown Rebuilds & Dampers
Spalling red brick and cracked concrete crowns compromise roofline stability. Our masons grind decayed mortar joints, repoint with weather-matched mortar, pour reinforced crowns, and install tight-sealing top-mount energy dampers.
Inspection Sequence
Four-Stage Safety Protocol
Hearth Isolation

Photographic Report
Technicians seal the hearth perimeter with industrial poly sheeting and deploy negative-pressure HEPA air scrubbing before running rotary sweep tools.
A dual-axis motorized camera traverses the entire flue column, recording chimney tile joint health, creosote stage, and clearance tolerances.
You receive a clear, unedited written findings sheet with video stills and honest repair recommendations without aggressive upselling or surprise add-ons.
Our crew inspects the chimney crown, lead roof flashings, brick mortar joints, and spark arrestor screens for water penetration or freeze-thaw damage.
