Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

Chimney cap and crown work in Audubon typically runs $350-$1,200 for repairs and $1,800-$3,500 for full rebuilds, with most jobs booked within a week during off-peak months. The borough’s 1920s-1940s brick housing stock means nearly every chimney we inspect has a cracked or missing crown from original thin-set Portland cement that failed decades ago. We’re Level Two Chimney Co., and we document every Audubon job with a camera-scan inspection and written price before any work starts. Call (856) 741-9572 for a free estimate.
Why Audubon Homes Are Different
Audubon’s homes are Cape Cods, colonials, and semi-detached brick dwellings built mostly between the 1920s and 1940s, with original masonry chimneys designed for coal or oil and later converted to gas. That conversion legacy leaves many flues oversized for their current appliance, causing draft problems and accelerated moisture damage. South Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles hit Audubon’s exposed mortar joints and corbeled crowns hard, while Delaware Valley humidity drives efflorescence and spalling on chimneys that haven’t been waterproofed in decades. In neighborhoods like Audubon Manor and between White Horse Pike and the PATCO line, we regularly find crowns that were never built to overhang the casing, letting water wick straight into brick. Homeowners often call us about interior staining they’ve already had a roofer look at twice.
Our Main Audubon Services
Most Audubon homeowners who call us need one of these three services, each with its own dedicated page.
Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Audubon
Our NFPA 211 Level 2 sweep includes a camera-scan down the flue, creosote removal, and a documented photo record under Haven Standard Clause 4. In Audubon, we frequently find Class III glazed creosote in chimneys converted from coal to gas without proper relining. Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Audubon covers scheduling, what the inspection finds, and how we price it.
Chimney Repair in Audubon
Audubon’s aging brick chimneys need repointing, crown rebuilding, and water damage repair more often than newer suburbs. We quote repointing, crown work, and structural repairs in writing before starting, with photos of every stage. Chimney Repair in Audubon details our process for the borough’s specific masonry problems.
Fireplace Services in Audubon
Fireplace insert installation, damper repair, and smoke chamber parging in Audubon must account for flues that are often oversized for modern gas appliances. We measure draft and clearance to NFPA 211 before recommending any modification. Fireplace Services in Audubon explains our approach.

Before
AfterChimney Cap & Crown in Audubon
Chimney cap and crown work is the most common repair we perform in Audubon because the borough’s original 1930s-40s construction practice used thin Portland-cement crowns that didn’t overhang the casing. Water wicks directly into the brick, causing the recurrent interior staining that sends homeowners looking for roofers first and chimney professionals second. Chimney Cap & Crown explains our full service range.
Crown Repair
Signs you need it
Water stains on interior walls near the chimney, missing mortar chunks on the roof, or a crown with visible cracks and no drip edge.
What it costs in Audubon
Crown repair in Audubon typically ranges from $350 to $850 depending on whether the crown can be coated or needs partial rebuild.
How we do it
We grind out cracked cement, form a new sloped crown with proper overhang and drip edge, and seal it with a waterproofing agent rated for freeze-thaw cycling.
Cap Installation
Signs you need it
Rainwater entering the flue, animal nesting debris in the fireplace, or rust streaks on the chimney face from a deteriorated existing cap.
What it costs in Audubon
Single-flue stainless steel cap installation in Audubon runs $180 to $450; multi-flue caps for larger chimneys range from $400 to $900.
How we do it
We measure the flue or crown footprint, fabricate or source a cap from our Famco and Copperfield inventory, and attach it with masonry screws and high-temp sealant.
What Chimney Cap & Crown Costs in Audubon
| Item | Typical range in Audubon |
|---|---|
| Crown repair | $350 - $850 |
| Single-flue cap installation | $180 - $450 |
| Multi-flue cap installation | $400 - $900 |
Can a cracked crown wait until next year?
Small hairline cracks can be sealed, but once water is entering the brick matrix, freeze-thaw damage accelerates rapidly and repair costs double within two seasons. Call (856) 741-9572 for a camera inspection and written quote.
Why does my roofer say the chimney is fine?
Roofers inspect flashing and shingles, not the crown’s slope, overhang, or internal water migration through brick; we find the actual source with a camera and moisture meter. Call (856) 741-9572 for a free second opinion on any written estimate.
Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Audubon
Chimney liner work in Audubon addresses the legacy of coal-to-gas and oil-to-gas conversions that left most 1920s-1940s chimneys with oversized flues and deteriorated clay tile. An unlined or improperly sized flue in Audubon creates draft problems, condensation damage, and carbon monoxide risk that a camera inspection reveals in minutes. Chimney Liner & Rebuild covers our complete liner and rebuild capabilities.
Stainless Steel Liner
Signs you need it
Condensation stains in the firebox, poor draft with modern gas appliance, or cracked clay tile visible on camera inspection.
What it costs in Audubon
Stainless steel liner installation in Audubon ranges from $1,800 to $3,200 for a standard single-flue system with proper insulation and connector.
How we do it
We measure the flue with a video scan, drop a DuraFlex or Olympia Chimney stainless liner with insulation wrap, and seal the top with a proper termination collar.
Partial Rebuild
Signs you need it
Spalling brick above the roofline, leaning chimney stack, or mortar erosion that exposes the flue liner to direct weather.
What it costs in Audubon
Partial rebuild of the upper chimney in Audubon typically runs $2,500 to $4,500 depending on height and whether the crown must be reconstructed.
How we do it
We dismantle damaged courses to sound brick, rebuild with matching masonry units, install a new crown with proper overhang, and document with before-and-after photos under Haven Standard Clause 4.
What Chimney Liner & Rebuild Costs in Audubon
| Item | Typical range in Audubon |
|---|---|
| Stainless steel liner | $1,800 - $3,200 |
| Partial rebuild | $2,500 - $4,500 |
| Full chimney rebuild | $4,500 - $8,500 |
Do I need a liner if my chimney was built for coal?
Coal-era chimneys are oversized for gas appliances and usually unlined; NFPA 211 requires proper sizing and lining for safe venting of any fuel. Call (856) 741-9572 for a camera inspection and written scope.
Can you line a chimney with offset bends?
Flexible DuraFlex liners navigate offsets in Audubon’s older construction, though severe offsets may require smoke chamber modification or partial rebuild for proper draft. Call (856) 741-9572 for a camera evaluation and exact quote.

We typically book Audubon inspections within 5-10 business days during spring and summer; fall demand extends this to 2-3 weeks, so we recommend scheduling sweeps before burning season.
