About Lower Saucon
Lower Saucon Township was chartered in 1743 on farmland along Saucon Creek.
Bethlehem Steel executives bought farmland in the township and built large estates there.
The Michael and Margaret Heller House and the Lutz-Franklin School are on the National Register of Historic Places.
Lower Saucon includes the historic district Ehrhart's Mill 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 Lower Saucon 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 Lower Saucon were built before 1978, and 17.3% 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 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.
