What New York's climate means for your chimney
Local conditions change which materials and methods make sense.
- Heavy snow and ice dams
Snow sitting against the chimney finds any gap in the flashing. Make sure the cricket and flashing are checked.
- Freeze-thaw cycles
Freeze-thaw cycles crack chimney crowns and mortar quickly. A water-repellent sealer and a good crown slow that down.
- Timing
Late summer and early fall are best, before fireplace season. Fall is the busiest time.
