Chimney Cap & Crown in Pocantico Hills, NY

On Pocantico Hills' historic estate structures, original chimney crowns may be 100-130 years old — an age at which hairline cracking is virtually universal, even when not visible from the ground. In the woodland humidity environment of the Pocantico River corridor and the surrounding preserve, a cracked crown allows active moisture penetration into masonry that is already consistently more moist than on a drier property. On Pocantico Hills' wooded estate properties, a missing or failed cap also provides easy access for the wildlife — raccoons, squirrels, and birds — that are abundant in and around the preserve.
