Your Local Chimney Leak Repair Pros in Ocean County, NJ

Shore wind turns ordinary rain into a chimney leak. It drives water sideways into cracked crowns, open joints and flashing that has pulled away from the brick, often long before a stain shows on the ceiling. Ocean County's wettest month, March, is also when roofs are still cold and slow to dry. Our crew traces the leak to where water gets in, repairs the crown, flashing or masonry at that point, and makes sure every flue has a cap with mesh.

Leak Repair for Ocean County Homes

Rain falls through the whole year in Ocean County, and March is the wettest month on average at about 4.79 inches. That is also when crowns and flashing are coming out of winter, so leaks that started with a frost crack often show up in spring.

Brick Township keeps three oceanfront beaches and Windward Beach Park on the Metedeconk River. Homes near open water take wind-driven rain on the chimney face, and the side facing the wind is usually where the leak starts.

We fix chimney leaks in Brick, Point Pleasant, Toms River, Lakewood and Manchester Township.

When to Call Us

  • Stains on the ceiling or wall by the chimney

Leak Repair Questions in Ocean County

My chimney leaks only during nor'easters. Why?
Nor'easters push rain hard and sideways, often for hours. That pressure forces water through small gaps in flashing and joints that stay dry in ordinary rain, so we check the face that takes the storm.
Can a chimney leak come from the cap?
A missing or rusted-through cap lets rain fall straight into the flue. It is not the only cause, but it is common near the shore, and we replace failed caps with stainless or copper ones.
Is it the roof or the chimney?
Often it is where they meet: the flashing. We check both before we say which.
