Chimney Cap & Crown in Mount Pleasant, NY

Chimney caps and crowns across Mount Pleasant face different conditions depending on community. On Pleasantville's Victorian homes, original concrete crowns may be 80-120 years old and virtually always show hairline cracking that allows moisture penetration. On Sleepy Hollow's river-facing properties, Hudson River humidity means any cracked crown allows active moisture penetration into masonry that is already more consistently moist than on drier inland chimneys. On postwar homes throughout Valhalla, Thornwood, and Hawthorne, crowns from the 1950s-1960s are at the typical age where deterioration is active but still addressable at low cost.
