Chimney care in the 718 area
Long heating seasons and repeated freeze-thaw cycles are hard on masonry around Brooklyn, Bronx and Staten Island. Water that soaks into a cracked crown or open mortar joint freezes, expands and breaks brick apart (spalling), and nor'easter rain drives water in at the flashing. An annual inspection before the first cold snap catches crown cracks and creosote build-up from a winter of wood burning.
The Census Bureau counts about 2,707,600 homes and apartments in the 718 territory. 81.4% were built before 1980 and 38.1% before 1940, close to the New York figure of 75.4% built before 1980. The median home here dates from the 1950s, and 11.9% of homes are single-family detached houses.
70.2% of occupied homes heat mainly with utility gas and 12.8% with fuel oil or kerosene. Wood is the main heating fuel in 0% of homes, lower than the national rate of 1.5%.
With 38.1% of homes built before 1940, many chimneys here are older masonry. Older flues can be unlined or have clay tile liners that have cracked over the years, which a camera inspection of the flue will show.
