Leak Repair, Staten IslandYour Local Chimney Leak Repair Service in Staten Island, NY
Staten Island sits at the center of the New York Bight, a sharp bend in the shoreline between New Jersey and Long Island, and storms hit it hard. On October 29, 2012, Hurricane Sandy caused severe damage on the island and destroyed many homes. Wind-driven rain still finds weak flashing, cracked crowns and porous brick, and the stain inside often shows up some distance from the actual entry point. Our local crew traces the water from the roof down and fixes the source, so the leak stays fixed after the next big storm.

Leak Repair for Staten Island Homes
Great Kills stayed mostly rural, with shoreline resorts, until the 1950s, and heavy home building followed the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. Houses near the harbor take wind off the water, and chimney flashing there needs to be fitted tight into the brick.
Grymes Hill is a 374-foot serpentine hill, the second highest natural point in New York City. On a hillside, rain hits a chimney at a slant, and leaks usually start on the uphill or windward face where water sits against the brick.
We stop chimney leaks in Great Kills, Grymes Hill, Huguenot, Tottenville and New Dorp.
