Chimney Leak Repair by Your Local Crew in Bucks County, PA

Water that shows up around a chimney in Bucks County can come from more places than most people expect. Summer storms drive rain sideways into brick and mortar, while winter snow sits on the crown and in the gap behind the chimney, then melts into any crack it finds. We trace the path before quoting, checking the cap, crown, flashing, cricket and masonry in turn. Then we fix the actual entry point, so you are not paying for a sealant that only hides the problem for a season.

Open 24 hours, Sunday to Friday. Free written estimates.

Leak Repair for Bucks County Homes

In Doylestown, July is the wettest month and the peak of thunderstorm season, and the area gets about 30 to 36 inches of snow between November and April. A chimney here has to shed hard rain in summer and melting snow in winter, and flashing is usually the first thing to give.

New Hope's historic houses include Cintra, the Joshua Ely House and the Rhoads Homestead, all on the National Register. On older stone and brick chimneys like the ones in town, leaks often come through worn mortar joints rather than the roof, and repointing is the lasting fix.

We fix chimney leaks in New Hope, Doylestown, Quakertown, Lower Makefield and Newtown Township.

When to Call Us

  • Stains on the ceiling or wall by the chimney

Leak Repair Questions in Bucks County

Why does my chimney leak only when snow melts?
Snow piles up on the uphill side of the chimney and on the crown. As it melts slowly, water pools there for days and works into any gap in the flashing or crown. A cricket behind wide chimneys and a sound crown usually stop it.
Is a water-repellent coating a good idea for my brick chimney?
Only after the real leak is fixed and only with a breathable product made for masonry. Sealing over cracked mortar traps moisture inside the brick, which can make freeze damage worse.
Is it the roof or the chimney?
Often it is where they meet: the flashing. We check both before we say which.
