On brick chimneys we most often repair cracked crowns, deteriorated mortar joints, missing or rusted caps and failed flashing at the roofline. On prefabricated units the chase cover is the usual culprit: galvanized covers rust through, flat covers pond water, and the storm collar around the pipe loosens. Asset Roofing & Chimney inspects, repairs and replaces all of these components, and installs liners where the old clay tile has failed.
Repair, repoint or rebuild in Parsippany-Troy Hills
Start with an inspection. We look at the crown, cap, brick and mortar, check the flashing against the shingles, examine the chase cover and storm collar on prefabricated units, and look down the flue. On the typical 1960s Parsippany chimney the result is a short list: a new crown, repointing on the exposed section above the roof, a cap and corrected flashing.
If a liner is cracked or missing, or if a new furnace or water heater has been installed and vents into an old clay flue, a liner should be part of the plan. Relining is less disruptive than most homeowners expect and is done from the roof and the appliance connection without opening walls.
