Leak Repair, Mercer CountyYour Local Pros for Chimney Leak Repair in Mercer County, NJ
A climate that hovers around freezing is harder on chimneys than a steadily cold one, and that is Mercer County's winter. Water in the brick freezes and thaws again and again, and snow piled against a chimney on the roof feeds water into the joints as it melts. Leaks follow. We find where the water gets in, whether at the crown, cap, flashing or brick, and repair that point with the right material so the stain does not return.

Leak Repair for Mercer County Homes
Trenton's daily average in January is 32 degrees, and there are about 17 days a year when the temperature never rises above freezing. The Blizzard of January 1996 dropped 24.2 inches in one storm, and snow that deep around a chimney keeps feeding water into the flashing as it melts.
Long a thinly settled farm community, West Windsor has filled with houses in planned developments since the 1970s. Flashing and crowns on the earlier of those homes have been through many seasons, and they are where most of the leaks we trace there start.
We stop chimney leaks in West Windsor, Princeton, Lawrence Township, Hamilton Township and Ewing.
