Leak Repair, Morris CountyYour Local Chimney Leak Repair Pros in Morris County, NJ
Water is behind most of the chimney problems we see in Morris County. Wet months and nights below freezing work on porous brick and open joints, and the crown at the very top takes the worst of it. Small cracks there grow into leaks that show up as stains in the attic or on a ceiling near the fireplace. We trace the water to where it enters, whether the flashing, the crown, the cap or the brick face, and fix that point properly so the stain does not come back.

Leak Repair for Morris County Homes
In Morristown, average January lows run from about 18 to 23 degrees, and monthly precipitation ranges from about 3.1 inches in February to 5.3 in September. That is a lot of water meeting a lot of freezing nights, and every winter opens masonry gaps a little wider.
In Randolph the largest share of housing, about 22%, was built in the 1970s. Flashing and crowns on chimneys from that decade have been through many winters, and that is where most of the leaks we trace there begin.
We fix chimney leaks in Randolph, Morristown, Montville, Mount Olive and Hanover.
