Leak Repair, Passaic CountyYour Local Chimney Leak Repair Experts in Passaic County, NJ
Snow, rain and steady freeze-thaw cycles give water every chance to work its way past a Passaic County chimney. Leaks usually start at flashing that has lifted, at a crown with cracks or through brick that has lost its joints. On wooded lake lots, leaves and moisture collect around the chimney and make the problem worse. Inside, the wet spot rarely sits right under the gap that let the water in. Our local crew traces the leak from the roof down and repairs the real source, rather than covering the outside with caulk.

Leak Repair for Passaic County Homes
Garret Mountain Reservation, a 568-acre county park in Woodland Park, rises about 500 feet above sea level. Homes on the slopes below catch more wind, and driven rain on the exposed face of the chimney is a common cause of leaks.
About 31% of Clifton's housing units were built before 1940. On those older chimneys, worn flashing and open joints near the roof line are the most common leak sources we find.
We fix chimney leaks in Woodland Park, Clifton, Little Falls, Hawthorne and Paterson.
