About Pottstown

John Potts founded the town in 1761, and it became a borough named Pottstown in 1815.

High Street is the borough's main east-west street and continues east as Ridge Pike.

Pottsgrove Mansion and the Grubb Mansion are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Pottstown includes the historic districts High Street Historic District, Old Pottstown 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 Pottstown 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 Pottstown were built before 1948, and 42.7% 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 107 freezing nights a year in Montgomery 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.
