About Hellertown
Hellertown was founded in 1742 by Johann Christoph Heller and his son Johann Simon Heller.
The town grew from a farming village into an industrial center in the late 1840s, and the North Pennsylvania Railroad arrived in 1856.
Lost River Caverns, a natural limestone cave, is in Hellertown, and Main Street carries Pennsylvania Route 412.
What This Means for Your Hellertown 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 Hellertown were built before 1951, and 34.8% 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 119 freezing nights a year in Northampton 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.
