What This Means for Your Ocean City Chimney
Older homes, older flues
Where homes date from before the 1940s, chimneys often have clay tile flues, soft lime mortar or no liner at all, and decades of freeze and thaw open the joints. A yearly inspection catches cracked tiles and failing mortar while the fix is still small. Read: What Is a Clay Flue Liner?
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 Ocean City were built before 1983, and 15.9% 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.
