Leak Repair, Nassau CountyYour Local Chimney Leak Repair Pros in Nassau County, NY
Hurricane Sandy did extensive damage to low-lying coastal areas of Nassau County in 2012, and wind-driven rain still finds weak spots on chimneys across both shores. The usual culprits are flashing at the roof line, a split crown or thirsty brick, and the wet spot inside can sit a fair distance from where the water got in. We trace each leak from the roof down and repair the real source with properly fitted flashing, a sound crown and a cap that keeps rain out of the flue.

Leak Repair for Nassau County Homes
Freeport's early developer dug several canals, including the Woodcleft Canal, one side of which is now the Nautical Mile. Homes near the water face salt wind that wears flashing and caps faster, and leaks there often start at the side of the chimney facing the canal or bay.
The West End of Long Beach is known for small bungalows and some large houses set close together on narrow streets. On tight lots, flashing has to be fitted carefully so a chimney leak does not spread to a neighboring roof or wall.
We fix chimney leaks in Freeport, Long Beach, Massapequa, Lynbrook and Valley Stream.
