Leak Repair, Delaware CountyChimney Leak Repair From Your Local Crew in Delaware County, PA
A leaking chimney in Delaware County usually announces itself with a brown stain on the ceiling, bubbling paint on the chimney wall or a damp patch in the basement. Water can get in through the flashing, a cracked crown, an uncapped flue or open mortar joints, and on stone-front houses the joint where stone meets brick is a frequent culprit. Condensation from a gas boiler can look just like a leak. We figure out which it is first, then repair that spot and explain what we found.

Leak Repair for Delaware County Homes
Springfield's Stoney Creek development, started in 1949 and finished in five years, has stone-front houses that are similar but not identical. Where stone facing meets brick or the roof, mortar joints and flashing are common leak points, and those are the first places we check on these homes.
Delco sits between Philadelphia and Wilmington, where January daily averages run about 33.7 and 32.4 degrees. Snow that melts by day and refreezes by night keeps working water into any gap in the flashing, which is why so many leaks here show up in late winter.
We fix chimney leaks in Springfield, Marple, Haverford, Media and Upper Darby.
