South Shore Suffolk County — Chimney Characteristics
South Shore Suffolk homes span Lindenhurst ranches to Bay Shore colonials — most built between 1950 and 1975. Salt air from the Great South Bay accelerates chimney cap corrosion, crown cracking, and mortar joint deterioration faster than anywhere else in Suffolk County.
Rusty caps from salt air, spalling brick from freeze-thaw cycles, oil flue soot buildup, crown cracking from coastal temperature swings, oil-to-gas conversion liner installation
