Leak Repair, Warren CountyStop Chimney Leaks in Warren County, NJ
Warren County gets its heaviest rain in summer and its hardest freezes in winter, and chimneys leak in both seasons. Summer storms drive water through cracked crowns and open joints. Winter snowmelt runs behind loose flashing and freezes there. Older homes with several chimneys have more places for water to get in. Our crew traces the leak to the actual entry point, repairs the crown, flashing or masonry there and caps any open flue, rather than coating the whole chimney and hoping it holds.

Leak Repair for Warren County Homes
Monthly precipitation in Warren County ranges from about 2.8 inches in February to 4.7 inches in July. Heavy summer storms push rain into cracked crowns and worn joints, and that water is still in the masonry when the first freeze arrives.
Census estimates for 2020 to 2024 put the median year built of housing in the borough of Washington at 1960, with about 31% built before 1940. Older houses there may have more than one chimney, and an open, unused flue or tired flashing on any one of them can be the leak.
We repair chimney leaks in Washington, Phillipsburg, Hackettstown, Blairstown and Lopatcong.
