Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. of Philadelphia Is Levittown’s Preferred Chimney Cap & Crown Company
We’ve worked on Levittown chimneys long enough to recognize a Jubilee model from the street and know its crown dimensions before we set up the ladder. That pattern recognition matters. When your home was built from one of seven standardized plans between 1952 and 1958, you want a technician who doesn’t need to guess at your flue tile size or crown slope.
Our Level-2 camera inspections end with photos you can see and a plain-English verdict. No jargon, no scare tactics. In Levittown, we regularly document the same predictable deterioration during our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Levittown: spalled mortar, cracked crown concrete, and flue tiles that have seen 65-70 winters of Delaware River valley freeze-thaw. Homeowners in the 19054 and 19055 zip codes call us back because we identify the problem, quote it honestly, and fix it without callbacks.
Carl Bridwell built this company in 1984 on the K.E.Y.S. code: Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it. The 90-Day Done Right Promise backs every cap and crown job in writing. If it’s not right, we come back. No paperwork to dig up, no argument.
Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback queue. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians carry the parts and materials to complete most Levittown jobs in one visit, including custom caps sized for your exact model.
Our Chimney Cap & Crown Services in Levittown
Custom Cap Fabrication for Levittown’s Standardized Models
Because Levittown’s homes were built from a handful of standardized 1950s models, the chimney crown dimensions and flue tile sizes repeat block after block. That means a custom cap fabricated for one Jubilee model fits dozens of identical neighbors. We measure your crown and flue on site, then specify a cap from Olympia Chimney or Famco that seals properly against Levittown’s wind-driven rain and river-valley humidity. Off-the-shelf caps from big-box stores rarely match these mid-century dimensions. A proper custom cap blocks moisture, stops downdrafts, and keeps animals out of flues that are already past their rated service life.
Crown Repair and Rebuilding
We replaced a cracked chimney crown on a Country Clubber model in the Stonybrook section, where the original 1950s mortar had spalled from decades of freeze-thaw cycles. We used a custom DuraFlex cap matched to the exact 8×8 flue tile dimensions common to that model, restoring the chimney’s top before moisture could reach the aging single-wythe brick below. Chimney Repair in Levittown typically means removing the deteriorated mortar or concrete, assessing the brick beneath, and pouring a new sloped crown that sheds water away from the flue. For homes in the 19056 and 19057 zip codes where the crown has completely failed, we may need to rebuild several courses of brick before capping.
Multi-Flue Cap Installation
The Country Clubber and some Jubilee models in Levittown were built with two flues, one for the Levittown Fireplace Services we provide and one for the furnace or water heater. A multi-flue cap covers both with a single fabricated top, eliminating the gaps between separate caps where water and debris collect. We size these from Copperfield’s professional-grade line, anchoring them to the crown with stainless steel hardware that won’t corrode in Levittown’s humid summers. Single-piece coverage also simplifies future inspections, since our camera can access both flues without removing multiple caps.
Crown Coating and Waterproofing
For Levittown chimneys where the crown is cracked but structurally sound, a professional crown coating extends service life without full rebuilding. We use HeatShield’s crown repair system, a breathable elastomeric compound that flexes with freeze-thaw movement rather than cracking again the first winter. Application takes a few hours, and the coating cures to a finish that sheds water while allowing trapped moisture to escape. This is often the right choice for rancher models in Thornridge or Crabtree sections where the crown shows hairline cracking but the brick beneath is still solid.

That’s how most jobs finish in one visit.
Common Chimney Cap & Crown Problems We See in Levittown Homes
- Original mortar crowns erode uniformly across Levitt-built chimneys, exposing clay flue tiles to rain and frost heave. The 1950s mortar mix was never formulated for seven decades of Delaware River valley weather, and by now it’s essentially sand.
- Standardized mid-century flue dimensions mean off-the-shelf caps don’t seal properly. A cap sized for a modern 8×12 flue sits loose on Levittown’s 8×8 or 6×6 tiles, letting wind drive rain straight down the flue.
- Settlement shifts the crown and creates gaps around the flue. Levittown’s fill soil and rapid construction didn’t always allow for proper compaction; we’ve measured crown separations of half an inch or more on homes near Mill Creek.
- Unlined flues in basic Levitt models lack a cap altogether, allowing downdrafts and moisture to degrade the firebox and mortar. The modest rancher models often have nothing but an open flue top, which explains the water damage we find in their fireboxes.

FAQs - Chimney Cap & Crown in Levittown
No. Jubilee models in Levittown were built with 8×8 clay flue tiles, and most standard caps sold today are sized for larger modern flues. We fabricate custom caps from Olympia Chimney or Famco to match your exact dimensions. Call (866) 580-4069 and we’ll measure on site - estimates are free.
The original mortar crown cracks and separates from the flue tile due to decades of freeze-thaw cycling in the Delaware River valley. Split-levels in Levittown often have taller chimneys exposed to more wind and temperature swing, accelerating the spalling. We typically repair with crown coating if the brick is sound, or rebuild if the separation has allowed water into the courses below.
Yes. Country Clubber models with dual flues are ideal candidates for a single multi-flue cap that covers both openings. We size these from Copperfield’s professional line and anchor them with stainless hardware. Most installations complete in one visit. Call (866) 580-4069 to schedule - we’ll confirm your flue configuration during inspection.
Cap replacement alone typically does not require a permit in Middletown Township, but crown rebuilding or structural brick repair may. We handle permit research as part of our upfront assessment and include any required filings in our project scope. You’ll know before work starts whether a permit applies to your specific job.
Yes. An uncapped flue in Levittown allows year-round moisture intrusion from rain and humid Delaware River valley air, degrading mortar and clay tiles whether you light fires or not. Squirrels and birds also nest in open flues. A basic cap installation runs $280-$420 and prevents far more expensive repairs later. Call (866) 580-4069 for a free estimate.
