What This Means for Your High Bridge 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?
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 High Bridge were built before 1971, and 30.8% date from before 1940, so many chimneys here still run on original clay tile or unlined brick, and mortar joints that old need repointing on a schedule. With about 124 freezing nights a year in Hunterdon 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.
