About Elmont
Elmont is an unincorporated hamlet in the northwest of the Town of Hempstead, Nassau County, on the Queens border.
After World War II Elmont filled with suburban tract homes, many with a brick-veneer first story in versions of the Cape Cod style, especially around Dutch Broadway.
Older, smaller shingled houses are grouped along Hempstead Turnpike near Belmont Park; after the track opened in 1905, nearby farms were sold and cut into house lots.
What This Means for Your Elmont Chimney
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 Elmont were built before 1952, and 17.9% 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 83 freezing nights a year in Nassau 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.
