About Hempstead
The Village of Hempstead, in the Town of Hempstead, Nassau County, incorporated on May 6, 1853, the first community in what was then Queens County to do so.
Families such as the Vanderbilts and the Belmonts built homes in Hempstead, which became a center of Long Island society.
Hempstead's St. George's Episcopal Church received a silver communion service from England's Queen Anne.
What This Means for Your Hempstead 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?

Half of the homes in Hempstead were built before 1957, and 21.1% 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.
