Leak Repair, Hudson CountyYour Local Chimney Leak Repair Experts in Hudson County, NJ
Top-floor ceiling stains are the classic sign of a chimney leak in Hudson County. On a row house the stack rises straight from a flat roof, and water gets in at the crown, the cap, the flashing where tar meets brick, or through brick that has gone porous. We start on the roof and follow the water down, because patching the ceiling or tarring over the flashing only hides it. Then we fix the actual entry point and test it with water before we leave.

Leak Repair for Hudson County Homes
Hudson County sees precipitation on an average of 116 days a year, with about 48 inches of rain and 26 inches of snow. With that much water on the roof, a small gap in the flashing or a hairline crack in the crown turns into a steady leak quickly.
Weehawken sits on the Hudson Palisades facing Manhattan, and its rooftops catch strong wind off the river. Rain driven sideways soaks into the windward face of the chimney, so we look at all four sides, not only the crown, when we trace a leak there.
We fix chimney leaks in Weehawken, West New York, North Bergen, Union City and Hoboken.
