Whether your Fireplace Cleaning has been neglected for three seasons or you just want a clean bill of health before the first cold snap, the answer is the same: schedule a sweep, get a Level-2 camera inspection with photos you can actually see, and leave with a plain-English verdict on the condition of your chimney. That’s how we’ve been doing it for over 42 years, and it hasn’t changed.
We serve homeowners throughout Brick and the surrounding communities of Ocean County and Monmouth County – people who’ve lived in their homes for decades and want a chimney company that will still be in business when they need us again. If that sounds like you, you’ve found the right place.
Fast, Local Chimney Cleaning & Sweep
When a homeowner in Brick calls us, they’re not routed to a regional dispatch center somewhere else. The person who picks up knows this area – the salt air off Barnegat Bay that accelerates mortar erosion, the older Cape Cods in Herbertsville where original clay tile liners are well past their service life, the newer construction along Drum Point where prefab fireplaces need a different inspection protocol than a traditional masonry unit.
We schedule promptly, and most jobs are done in a single visit by a background-checked, uniformed technician who arrives when we say he will. No-hassle upfront pricing means the number on the estimate is the number on the invoice – no line items that appear after the job is finished.
Every cleaning includes a Level 1 Inspection and Level-2 camera inspection so there are no guesses about what’s happening inside the flue. You get photos, and you get a plain-English explanation of what we found. If something needs repair, we’ll tell you clearly – and if it doesn’t, we’ll tell you that too.
All work is backed by the 90-Day Done Right Promise: in writing, no arguing. If something isn’t right, we come back. That’s the commitment Russell Haines has stood behind since Hearthstone Chimney Co. opened its doors.
Areas We Cover
Hearthstone Chimney Co. provides Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Brick and throughout the surrounding region. Our service area spans a broad stretch of Ocean and Monmouth Counties, including Lakewood, Howell, Wall, Tinton Falls, Neptune, Ocean, and Point Pleasant. If you’re in any of these communities and need a sweep, chances are we’ve already been down your street.
Brick is our home base, and it shapes how we work. The coastal climate here – the humidity cycling off Barnegat Bay, the freeze-thaw winters that crack mortar joints faster than people expect – creates chimney conditions specific to this part of New Jersey. We account for that in every inspection we write up.

Why Homeowners in Brick Choose Hearthstone
There’s no shortage of chimney companies willing to take your money in Ocean County. What’s harder to find is a company that documents the work, backs it in writing, uses professional-grade materials, and plans to be around long enough to honor the promise.
Here’s what sets us apart, in plain terms:
- 42 years in service: Founded in 1984, Hearthstone Chimney Co. has been in continuous operation longer than most of the houses we service have had their chimneys cleaned. That kind of longevity isn’t an accident.
- Level-2 camera inspections with photos: You see what we see. No vague verbal reports, no “trust us.” Documented like an engineer, explained like a craftsman.
- Professional-grade materials only: We work with DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield – not builder-grade substitutes sourced for the lowest cost.
- 90-Day Done Right Promise: Every job is backed in writing. If it’s not done right, we make it right. No paperwork, no arguing.
- Live answers, 24 hours a day: A real person picks up. Every call, every hour.
- Background-checked, uniformed technicians: You know who’s coming to your home before they arrive.
- Upfront pricing: The estimate is the invoice. Nothing changes between the two.
The K.E.Y.S. values code – Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it – isn’t a slogan on a truck. It’s the standard Russell Haines holds every job to, on every chimney, every day.
What Chimney Cleaning Involves in the Brick, NJ Area
A chimney sweep isn’t just running a brush up the flue and calling it done. In the Brick area, where salt-laden coastal air takes a steady toll on masonry and metal components alike, a proper cleaning is as much a diagnostic visit as a maintenance one.
Here’s what a Hearthstone cleaning typically covers:
- Full chimney sweeping to remove creosote, soot, and debris from the firebox, smoke chamber, and flue
- Level-2 camera inspection of the flue interior – documented with photos
- Check of the damper, smoke shelf, firebox floor, and firebox walls
- Inspection of the chimney cap, crown, and visible flashing
- Plain-English written report with photos – no guesswork, no jargon
- Honest assessment of what needs attention and what can wait
If we find something during the inspection – a cracked liner, a compromised crown, a cap that’s letting rain in – we’ll document it with photos and give you a clear explanation before we recommend anything. That’s the promise behind every visit.
Creosote buildup is worth taking seriously. In the Brick area, homeowners who burn during the full season – October through March, given how Ocean County winters run – can accumulate significant third-degree creosote deposits in a single heating season if their wood isn’t properly seasoned. Third-degree creosote is the form most likely to ignite a chimney fire, and Creosote Removal is also the most expensive when it reaches this stage. One annual sweep, done properly, keeps it manageable. Skipping years does not.
A note on safety: If you notice the smell of smoke in living spaces, see visible cracks in the firebox, or suspect a recent chimney fire (a loud cracking sound during a fire, followed by unusual smoke behavior), stop using the fireplace and call a professional before lighting another fire. These are conditions that require a trained inspection, not a DIY once-over.

About Hearthstone Chimney Co.
Russell Haines founded Hearthstone Chimney Co. in 1984, and for over 42 years the company has operated on a simple principle: do the work correctly, document what you find, and stand behind the result in writing. The Hearthstone Chimney Co. home page has the full picture of what we do and how we do it.
We’re not a franchise. We’re not a low-bid operator who disappears after the invoice is paid. We’re a company built around the idea that a chimney job done right the first time is the only kind worth doing – and that if something falls short of that standard, the right response is to come back, fix it, and not make the homeowner argue for it.
That’s been true since 1984. It’s still true today.
