Chimney Repair for Frankford chimneys

Frankford chimneys see heavy use. Wood stoves and fireplaces are a common heat source in this rural part of the county, and the long cold season keeps them running for months. Farmhouses have older brick chimneys, sometimes with several flues, while lake homes and newer houses have everything from masonry chimneys to prefabricated flues in framed chases. Chimneys on open land and lakefronts also take wind that strips caps and drives rain into the masonry.

Asset Roofing & Chimney inspects, cleans, repairs, relines and rebuilds chimneys throughout Frankford. We repair crowns, install caps and chase covers, repoint and waterproof masonry, install stainless-steel liners and rebuild flashing at the roofline. We are licensed and insured, and estimates are free.

Frankford housing

Frankford's buildings include older farmhouses and farm outbuildings, lake homes at Culver Lake and Lake Owassa, many of them converted from seasonal use, and ranches, colonials and contemporaries built on larger rural lots from the 1960s onward. Asphalt shingle covers most houses; barns and outbuildings carry a mix of older roofing, and commercial and agricultural buildings along the main roads add low-slope and flat roofs.

Weather & exposure

Open farmland lets wind cross the township with little to stop it, and the land rises toward the Kittatinny Ridge in the west, where weather is harsher. Frankford gets the cold winters, deep snow and long freeze-thaw season typical of northwestern Sussex County. Lake homes add wind and humidity off the water.

Repair, repoint or rebuild in Frankford

If wood heat is part of your winter in Frankford, an annual inspection and cleaning before the season is the baseline. If you added a stove to an existing fireplace, make sure the flue has a liner sized to it.

For masonry damage, repointing, a rebuilt crown and a breathable water repellent handle most chimneys. Where the top courses are loose or the stack leans, we rebuild from a sound course up and secure a cap sized for the wind exposure.

Frankford Specifics

Chimney problems we see in Frankford

Creosote from long heating seasons

Stoves that run from fall into spring build creosote steadily, particularly in oversized or unlined flues. Annual cleaning and a correctly sized liner keep it under control.

Multi-flue farmhouse chimneys

Older farmhouse chimneys may carry flues for a fireplace, an old kitchen stove and a furnace. Each needs to be checked, and unused flues should be capped and sealed so they do not take on water.

Caps lost to open-country wind

Exposed chimneys lose caps in storms, and wind-driven rain then soaks the flue and smoke chamber. A properly sized and fastened cap prevents both.

Freeze-thaw damage at the top of the stack

Cracked crowns and open joints let water into the masonry, where repeated freezing loosens brick from the top down. Catching it early keeps the repair to repointing and a new crown.

FAQ

Chimney Repair in Frankford: your questions

My farmhouse chimney has three flues. Do they all need attention?

Each flue should be inspected. Active flues need to be sound and correctly sized for their appliances, and unused flues should be capped so they do not channel water into the chimney.

How often should I clean my wood-stove chimney?

At least once a year, and more often if you burn heavily or burn softwood. The inspection that goes with it checks the liner, cap and crown before the cold season.

My chimney cap blew off. Is it urgent?

It should be replaced soon. Without a cap, rain and snow fall straight into the flue and damage the damper and smoke chamber, and animals can get in. We install a cap fastened for the exposure your chimney faces.

Do you repair chimneys on lake homes at Culver Lake and Lake Owassa?

Yes. We repair, reline and rebuild masonry chimneys and replace chase covers on prefabricated chimneys at lake homes throughout Frankford, along with the flashing where they meet the roof.
