Leak Repair, Chester CountyChimney Leak Repair by Your Local Crew in Chester County, PA
Leaks around a Chester County chimney often start where old meets new. A stack built centuries ago now passes through a newer roof or a later addition, and the flashing at that joint was never quite right. Other leaks come from cracked crowns, open joints in fieldstone, missing caps or rusted chase covers on newer homes. We follow the water back to where it gets in, then fix that point with new step and counter flashing, a rebuilt crown, a cap or repointing, and explain what caused it.

Leak Repair for Chester County Homes
West Chester averages about 46.7 inches of precipitation and 27.7 inches of snow a year, enough to keep brick and stone wet for long stretches. A chimney that stays wet that long will find any weakness in its flashing or crown.
West Goshen was mostly farmland until railroads in the 1830s and 1850s brought Philadelphians looking for country homes. Many of those older houses have been added onto since, and the spot where an old chimney passes through a newer roof is where we find the most leaks.
We fix chimney leaks in West Goshen, West Chester, Kennett Square, Tredyffrin and Exton.
