Chimney Leak Repair in Atlantic County, NJ, by Your Local Crew

Nor'easters are when Atlantic County chimneys show their leaks. Hours of rain driven sideways by strong wind will find any crack in a crown, gap in the flashing or open mortar joint. On the island, salt air also rusts the cap and chase cover until they let water straight in. Our crew traces the leak to the point of entry, repairs that spot with materials that stand up to salt and wind, and checks the rest of the chimney top so the next storm does not find another way in.

Open 24 hours, Sunday to Friday. Free written estimates.

Leak Repair for Atlantic County Homes

February is usually the snowiest month on Absecon Island and the peak of nor'easter season, and winter cold snaps can push wind chills below zero. Water driven into a chimney during a February storm can freeze in place and open the crack further.

Ventnor City's boardwalk runs the full length of its beachfront and connects to the Atlantic City Boardwalk. Homes that close to the ocean take salt spray and wind on the chimney, and rusted flashing or chase covers are a common leak source there.

We stop chimney leaks in Ventnor City, Atlantic City, Absecon, Egg Harbor Township and Galloway.

When to Call Us

Leak Repair Questions in Atlantic County

Why does my chimney leak during nor'easters but not in summer storms?
Nor'easters bring hours of steady, wind-driven rain from one direction, which forces water into small gaps on that side. Summer storms are often shorter, so we look closely at the face of the chimney that takes the nor'easter wind.
Can rusted flashing be patched?
Small rust spots can sometimes be treated, but rusted-through flashing should be replaced. Near the ocean, copper or stainless flashing lasts much longer.
Is it the roof or the chimney?
Often it is where they meet: the flashing. We check both before we say which.
