Leak Repair, The BronxYour Local Chimney Leak Repair Specialists in The Bronx, NY
Along Eastchester Bay and Long Island Sound, the Bronx gets wind-driven rain that pushes water into every weak spot on a chimney. Salt air corrodes plain steel caps and fasteners, and loose flashing lets water run down the inside of the wall. Inland, the familiar freeze-thaw cycle cracks crowns and opens joints. Hurricane Sandy, which struck the city in October 2012, showed how much damage wind and water can do. Our local crew traces each leak to its source and repairs it properly, not with a coat of sealant.

Leak Repair for The Bronx Homes
The Country Club neighborhood sits on Eastchester Bay, just south of Pelham Bay Park and Orchard Beach. Chimneys that face the water take the brunt of storm wind, and flashing there needs to be sealed into the brick joints, not just tacked on.
In the 1920s most of the large estates on Throggs Neck were broken up into smaller row homes and tightly packed bungalow lots. On close-set houses, a leak at one chimney can show up in a neighbor's wall, so we trace the water carefully before deciding on a fix.
We fix chimney leaks in Country Club, Throggs Neck, City Island, Pelham Bay and Schuylerville.
