The most common findings on a Bridgewater inspection are a cracked crown, open mortar joints on the top courses, a missing or rusted cap, flashing that was caulked over through several reroofs and, on prefabricated units, a chase cover that has rusted through or ponds water. Asset Roofing & Chimney repairs all of these, installs stainless steel liners where clay tile has failed, and rebuilds chimneys that have deteriorated beyond repointing.
Repair, repoint or rebuild in Bridgewater
We start with an inspection from the roof and from inside: crown, cap, brick and mortar, flashing against the shingles, chase cover and storm collar on prefabricated units, and the flue itself. On the typical Bridgewater chimney the result is a short list of repairs that can be completed in a single visit: a new crown, repointing above the roofline, a cap and corrected flashing.
When spalling has gone deep into the brick or the stack above the roof is loose, a rebuild from the roofline up is more cost-effective than piecemeal patching. We match brick as closely as available materials allow and install new flashing as part of the rebuild. A breathable water repellent afterward slows future moisture absorption.
