Leak Repair, Bergen CountyYour Local Chimney Leak Repair Team for Bergen County, NJ
Rain is spread through the year in Bergen County, with average monthly precipitation in Hackensack ranging from about 3.2 inches in February to about 4.6 inches in July. That steady moisture, plus winter freezes, gives water plenty of chances to get past a chimney. Leaks usually begin at flashing that has pulled away, at a cracked crown or at a missing cap. Our local crew starts on the roof, finds the real entry point and fixes it with properly fitted flashing and sound masonry, not a layer of caulk.

Leak Repair for Bergen County Homes
Fort Lee sits on top of the Hudson Palisades, facing Upper Manhattan's Washington Heights. Homes on the cliffs take wind off the river, and driven rain finds weak flashing on the exposed side of the chimney first.
Hackensack's housing ranges from a mile-long strip of high-rise apartments on Prospect Avenue to older two-family blocks and single-family streets. On two-family homes, a chimney leak can show up in either unit, so we trace it from the roof down.
We fix chimney leaks in Fort Lee, Hackensack, Englewood, Garfield and Fair Lawn.
