Leak Repair, Somerset CountyYour Local Chimney Leak Repair Crew in Somerset County, NJ
Water reaches a Somerset County chimney from above and below. From above, it gets in through a cracked crown, a missing cap, worn flashing or porous brick, and the freeze-thaw winters here widen every one of those gaps. From below, houses that took on floodwater in the past can have damp chimney bases and rusted cleanout doors. We find the actual source, fix it, and check the rest of the chimney so you are not chasing a second leak next season.

Leak Repair for Somerset County Homes
In Somerville, average January lows sit around 18 degrees, and the record is 16 below zero, set in January 1984. Ice takes up more room than the water did, so every hard freeze widens cracks in the crown and joints that the next rain will use.
Downtown Bound Brook lies on the Raritan River flood plain, and Main Street has flooded many times, including in 1938, 1955, 1973, 1996 and 2010. Houses that took on water can have damp chimney bases and rusted cleanout doors, which we check along with the top of the chimney.
We repair chimney leaks in Bound Brook, Somerville, Bridgewater, Warren Township and Bernards Township.
