What This Means for Your Port Washington 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 Port Washington were built before 1952, and 34.7% date from before 1940, so many chimneys here still run on original clay tile or unlined brick, and mortar joints that old need repointing on a schedule. 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.
