What chimneys
are like here
Bayonne sits on a peninsula with water on three sides, and salt air is a genuine factor in what we replace here. Metal components on a chimney — caps, chase covers, flashing — corrode faster in Bayonne than they do twenty miles inland, and galvanized parts that might last thirty years elsewhere do not.
The housing is mostly early-1900s through 1940s: a lot of two-family frame and brick houses on the standard narrow Bayonne lot, with a good stock of solid single-family homes through Bergen Point and Uptown. Chimneys are generally masonry, generally original, and generally serving equipment several generations newer than they were built for.
When we quote replacement parts in Bayonne we quote stainless rather than galvanized as a matter of course. It costs a little more and it is the difference between a cap that lasts and a cap that rusts through and drops debris into your flue.
On our Bayonne calls
What we find most
- Salt-air corrosion of caps, chase covers and flashing
- Galvanized components failing early and needing stainless replacement
- Original masonry flues serving much newer appliances
- Two-family venting arrangements that have never been verified
None of that is unusual for the housing stock here, and most of it is cheaper to deal with early. The $49 inspection tells you which of these you actually have.
