Leak Repair, QueensYour Local Chimney Leak Repair Experts in Queens, NY
A typical Queens winter has 22 days with some snowfall, and every melt sends water looking for a way past the chimney. Leaks usually start at the flashing, at a cracked crown or through porous brick, and the stain often shows up a room away from the actual entry point. Along the bay, Hurricane Sandy in 2012 showed how wind and storm surge can loosen caps and flashing. We trace the water to its real source and repair it properly, rather than coating the outside and hoping the problem goes away.

Leak Repair for Queens Homes
Many houses in southern Rego Park are in the colonial, English and Tudor styles with slate roofs. Slate cracks easily underfoot, so leak work there calls for careful roof access and flashing fitted to the slate rather than smeared with sealant.
Housing in Middle Village is largely single-family homes, with many attached houses and small apartment buildings. Where chimneys sit on attached rows, water can travel along the party wall, and the leak has to be traced from the roof down, not guessed at from inside.
We stop chimney leaks in Rego Park, Middle Village, Forest Hills, Howard Beach and Bayside.
