What This Means for Your Fort Greene 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?
Shared walls and party chimneys
Attached houses often share a chimney stack with the neighbor, with one flue per home. Smoke or water from next door, a blocked shared cap or a leaning stack affects both houses, so we check the whole stack and every flue before we plan a repair. Read: How Does Repair Work on a Shared Chimney?
