What This Means for Your Readington Chimney
Winters are hard on masonry

Half of the homes in Readington were built before 1980, and 12.7% 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 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.
