What This Means for Your Pike Creek Chimney
Shared walls and party chimneys
Attached houses often share a chimney stack with the neighbor, with one flue per home. Smoke or water from next door, a blocked shared cap or a leaning stack affects both houses, so we check the whole stack and every flue before we plan a repair. Read: How Does Repair Work on a Shared Chimney?

Half of the homes in Pike Creek were built before 1988, and 0.8% 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.
