About Bedminster
Bedminster is a township in the Somerset Hills of northern Somerset County, bordering Hunterdon and Morris counties.
The Vanderveer-Knox House, with parts dating to the 1770s, was used by General Henry Knox and is now a township-owned museum.
The Pluckemin Continental Artillery Cantonment Site, where Knox trained artillery troops in the winter of 1778 to 1779, is on the National Register.
Part of Natirar, a former estate now run by the Somerset County Park Commission, lies in the township.
Bedminster includes the historic districts Lamington Historic District, Pluckemin Village Historic District, Pottersville Village Historic District. Older brick chimneys there often need matched brick and mortar, so we look at the house before we plan the work.
What This Means for Your Bedminster Chimney
Winters are hard on masonry
Cold winters with many freeze and thaw cycles work water into brick and mortar every year. Keep the chimney swept and inspected once a year, keep a cap on top, and fix small cracks before they spread. Read: How Often Should a Chimney Be Swept?

Half of the homes in Bedminster were built before 1985, and 5.7% 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 137 freezing nights a year in Somerset 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.
