About Ardsley
Ardsley is a village in the town of Greenburgh, Westchester County; it took its name from Cyrus West Field's Ardsley Park estate and incorporated in 1896.
A December 1914 fire destroyed the village center, and Ardsley later grew in two booms, one between World War I and the Great Depression and one after World War II.
Building the New York State Thruway in the late 1950s greatly changed the village and ended service at the Ardsley station on the Putnam line.
What This Means for Your Ardsley 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 Ardsley were built before 1958, and 14.9% 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 109 freezing nights a year in Westchester 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.
