Leak Repair, Hunterdon CountyYour Local Chimney Leak Repair Experts in Hunterdon County, NJ
Water that gets into Hunterdon County masonry through a cracked crown, a missing cap or worn joints freezes and widens the gap, and the next rain goes in deeper. On old stone and brick chimneys, that water can travel a long way before it shows. We trace leaks from the stain back to the entry point, then repair it with materials that suit the chimney, from new flashing on a modern roof to soft mortar on a historic stack. If the brick is sound, a breathable water repellent can finish the job.

Leak Repair for Hunterdon County Homes
In Flemington, average January lows are about 19 degrees, and the record there is 18 below zero, from January 1984. July brings the most rain, about 5.2 inches on average, so leaks can open in a summer storm as easily as in a winter thaw.
Raritan Township's John Reading Farmstead was built in 1760 for a former governor of the Province of New Jersey. Farmhouses of that age often have large chimneys where water can enter through the stone, the joints or the roof junction, and we check each before repairing.
We repair chimney leaks in Flemington, Raritan Township, Readington, Clinton and Lambertville.
