What This Means for Your Absecon Chimney
Wind, rain and salt air
Near open water, wind drives rain sideways into the chimney and salt air corrodes metal caps and flashing faster. A sturdy cap and sound flashing keep water out of the flue and the masonry. Read: Does My Chimney Need a Cap?

Half of the homes in Absecon were built before 1974, and 14.6% 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 101 freezing nights a year in Atlantic 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.
