About Kennett Square
Kennett Square is known as the Mushroom Capital of the World, and the area grows about half of the country's mushrooms.
The borough was incorporated in the 1850s and takes the Square in its name from William Penn's original one-square-mile land grant.
Longwood Gardens is about 3 miles from Kennett Square, and the borough has the 100-plus-acre Anson B. Nixon Park.
What This Means for Your Kennett Square Chimney
Winters are hard on masonry
Cold winters with many freeze and thaw cycles work water into brick and mortar every year. Keep the chimney swept and inspected once a year, keep a cap on top, and fix small cracks before they spread. Read: How Often Should a Chimney Be Swept?

Half of the homes in Kennett Square were built before 1955, and 32.5% 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 131 freezing nights a year in Chester 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.
