About Newark
Newark was founded in 1694 by Scots-Irish and Welsh settlers.

Once ringed by farmland, Newark is now surrounded by housing developments in several directions.
What This Means for Your Newark Chimney
Postwar homes and their chimneys
Homes built in the postwar decades often have a brick chimney with a mortar crown that was never meant to last. After decades of winters, crowns crack, caps go missing and flashing lets water in. These are quick, affordable fixes when caught early. Read: What Should You Do About a Cracked Chimney Crown?

Half of the homes in Newark were built before 1977, and 4.7% date from before 1940, so a good share of chimneys here were built to older standards, with clay tile liners and crowns that are now decades old. With about 92 freezing nights a year in New Castle County, water that gets into a crack freezes and widens it again and again, which is why we check the crown and flashing on every visit.
