Leak Repair, Gloucester CountyYour Local Chimney Leak Repair Pros in Gloucester County, NJ
A lot of Gloucester County chimneys are in their middle years, built somewhere between the 1970s and the 2000s. That is the age when original parts on top start to let water in. On masonry chimneys it is usually the crown or flashing. On factory-built fireplaces with framed chases, it is the metal chase cover, which rusts, sags and pools water around the flue. Our crew traces the leak, fixes the actual source and checks the rest of the chimney top while we are up there.

Leak Repair for Gloucester County Homes
Census estimates for 2024 show steady building in Gloucester County from the 1970s through the 2000s, each decade at roughly 12 to 14% of the housing. That puts many chimneys here in the 20- to 50-year range, when caps, chase covers and flashing start to fail.
The county runs from the Delaware River southeast to the edge of the Pine Barrens, mostly over low-lying rivers and coastal plain. Wind-driven rain from thunderstorms and nor'easters can run through a cracked crown and down the inside of the flue, so leaks here often appear after a storm rather than a steady rain.
We repair chimney leaks in Washington Township, Monroe Township, Glassboro, Deptford and Mantua.
