About Radnor
Wayne, in western Radnor, was organized as one of the first suburban developments in the United States.
Lancaster Avenue follows the 1794 Philadelphia and Lancaster Turnpike and passes Villanova University and downtown Wayne.
The Radnor Friends Meetinghouse was built in 1717.
Radnor includes the historic districts North Wayne Historic District, South Wayne Historic District, Downtown Wayne Historic District. Older brick chimneys there often need matched brick and mortar, so we look at the house before we plan the work.
What This Means for Your Radnor 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 Radnor were built before 1964, and 18.7% 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 77 freezing nights a year in Delaware 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.
