Leak Repair, Union CountyYour Local Pros for Chimney Leak Repair in Union County, NJ
Most chimney leaks we chase in Union County start at the top and show up somewhere else. Water slips through a crack in the crown, a gap in the flashing or a missing cap, then runs down inside the masonry until it stains a ceiling or a wall near the fireplace. Freeze-thaw winters make every one of those gaps bigger each year. We trace the leak from the roof down, repair the actual entry point, and check the rest of the chimney so a second leak does not follow.

Leak Repair for Union County Homes
Average January lows in Elizabeth are around 24 degrees, low enough that water in brick and mortar freezes and thaws over and over each winter. That cycle usually begins at a cracked crown or an uncapped flue, and catching it early keeps a small leak from turning into a rebuild.
Elizabethport, Elizabeth's oldest neighborhood, runs east of 7th Street out to the shore. Older houses near the water take more wind-driven rain on the chimney face, so we check the brick and joints there as well as the flashing when we trace a leak.
We stop chimney leaks in Elizabeth, Linden, Rahway, Roselle and Cranford.
