Half of the homes in Lower Township were built before 1975, and 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 72 freezing nights a year in Cape May 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.
