About Link Tough: Chimney repair in Ewing, New Jersey
Chimney repair in Ewing is what we do, and we have done it here since 2022. Our sweeps are CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep trained, and we work to NFPA 211 on every liner, crown and flashing job we touch.
Our story
Built for Ewing since 2022
We started Link Tough in 2022 because Ewing homeowners kept getting the same answer from out-of-town crews: nobody wanted to climb a 1920s brick chimney in the snow. Our founder had spent years sweeping and relining flues around Mercer County and knew the housing stock here, from the older colonials near the College of New Jersey to the postwar ranches off Pennington Road. So we built a small crew that stays local and does the whole job, not just the easy half. That is what about Chimney repair in Ewing, New Jersey means to us: show up, diagnose it honestly, and leave the chimney safer than we found it.
Link Tough has been repairing chimneys in Ewing since 2022, working out of the Trenton-Mercer Airport area and reaching every neighborhood from Ewingville to Scudders Falls. We fix what actually causes the damage: crown cracks, failed flashing, spalling brick and mortar joint deterioration. A chimney leak rarely starts where you see the stain, and we trace it back to the source before we quote the job.
What sets us apart is the diagnosis. We run a camera inspection system down the flue, check the damper and chimney cap, and test the flashing at the roofline. If you need affordable chimney repair near me in Ewing New Jersey, we give you a written price the same day and a 5-year workmanship warranty on masonry. Our technicians hold CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep credentials and work to NFPA 211 standards on every job.
Our team
The people on your roof
Lead sweep and relining
Role
Marcus has been on roofs since 2022 and handles our stainless steel liner installs. He has run more than 600 camera inspections in Ewing and can usually tell you what is wrong from the flue photo before he reaches the roof. He is the one who trains new hires on chimney brush technique and creosote staging.
Masonry and crown work
Role
Dana runs the masonry side: spalling brick, mortar joint deterioration, chimney crown repair, and tuckpointing. She pours Crown mix to a 2-inch overhang so water sheds instead of pooling, and she matches mortar color on older Ewing homes so the repair disappears. Ten years on the trowel, most of it in Mercer County.
Waterproofing and caps
Role
Ray handles chimney cap installation, flashing repair, and waterproofing sprayer work. He seals roughly 300 chimneys a year with ChimneySaver and checks every damper while he is up there. If your chimney leak is coming from the cap or the flashing collar, Ray is the one you will see on the ladder.
Our equipment
The tools behind the work
Link Tough runs a small, full-time crew of four, and the same faces show up year after year. Two of our technicians carry CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep credentials, and all of us train on NFPA 211 and current New Jersey chimney sweep license requirements. We work with Homesaver and Copperfield liners, ChimneySaver and SaverSystems waterproofing, and HY-C caps because those brands hold up to freeze-thaw cycles here. Our trucks carry a camera inspection system, chimney rods and brushes, a masonry trowel, mortar hawk, and an angle grinder for cutting damaged crowns. In four years we have worked on more than 1,100 Ewing chimneys, and we still walk every roof before quoting a job.
Chimney Repair Near Me
Our core repair service covers cracks, leaks, loose brick and failing mortar on any chimney in Ewing. We inspect first, then fix the cause, not just the symptom. Most repairs finish in two to four hours.
Chimney Masonry Repair
Spalling brick and crumbling mortar joints let water straight into your home. We cut out the damaged brick, rebuild with firebrick and refractory mortar, and match the existing look. Common on older Ewing homes near Prospect Heights.
Chimney Crown Repair
A cracked crown is the number one cause of chimney leaks in Ewing. We pour a new crown mix with the correct overhang and slope so water sheds away from the flue instead of pooling on top of it.
Chimney Relining
A cracked clay flue tile lets heat and carbon monoxide into your walls. We install a stainless steel liner sized to your appliance, insulated to code, and tested before we close up. Usually a one-day job.
