Chimney Repair for Green chimneys
Many of Green Township's newer homes have prefabricated fireplaces with metal flues inside wood-framed chases, while older farmhouses have brick chimneys and some 1970s homes have masonry fireplaces. Each type has its own weak points: chase covers and storm collars on prefab chimneys, crowns, joints and flashing on masonry.

Green housing
Green's housing is weighted toward single-family homes from the 1970s through the 2000s, many of them two-story colonials and contemporaries with multiple gables, skylights and prefabricated fireplaces in framed chases. Older farmhouses and hamlet homes remain along the original roads. Asphalt shingle is nearly universal on houses.
Weather & exposure
Green's rolling hills mix wooded lots with open fields, so some homes are shaded and debris-prone while others take wind across cleared land. The township has the county's cold winters, heavy snow and long freeze-thaw season.
Repair, repoint or rebuild in Green
If your Green Township home has a prefab fireplace, the chase cover and storm collar are the first things to check when you see water stains near the fireplace or rust streaks on the chase siding. If you have a masonry chimney, start with the crown, cap and flashing.
Anyone burning wood should schedule an annual inspection and cleaning, and confirm that a stove or insert has a liner sized for it. Prefab fireplaces also need regular inspection of the flue sections and firebox.
