Stop Chimney Leaks Before They Damage Your Home

A leaking chimney isn't just an annoyance—it's a threat to your home's structure, insulation, and interior finishes. At Three Brothers Roofing Company, we've repaired hundreds of chimney leaks across Palisades Park and know exactly where to look and how to fix them right the first time.

Why Chimneys Leak

Chimneys are one of the most common sources of roof leaks, and for good reason. They penetrate your roof system, creating multiple vulnerable points where water can enter. The most common culprits include:

  • Damaged or missing chimney flashing – The metal seal between your chimney and roof deteriorates over time
  • Cracked chimney crown – The concrete cap at the top of your chimney cracks from freeze-thaw cycles
  • Deteriorated mortar joints – Brick mortar erodes, allowing water to seep through
  • Missing or damaged chimney cap – Without proper protection, rain pours straight down the flue
  • Condensation issues – Modern high-efficiency furnaces can cause moisture problems inside the chimney

Our Chimney Leak Repair Process

We don't guess. We diagnose the actual source of your leak, then fix it properly:

1. Thorough Inspection – We examine the chimney crown, flashing, masonry, cap, and surrounding roof area to pinpoint every entry point.

2. Honest Assessment – You'll get a clear explanation of what's wrong and what it takes to fix it. No upselling, no surprises.

3. Quality Repair – We use proven materials and techniques: step flashing and counter-flashing properly embedded in mortar joints, high-quality sealants, and durable chimney caps that last.

4. Water Testing – When appropriate, we verify the repair is watertight before we leave.

What Sets Us Apart

This is a family business. When you call Three Brothers Roofing Company, you're talking to people who've been serving Palisades Park for years—not a call center. We show up on time, we do the work ourselves, and we stand behind it.

Chimney leaks can be tricky. We've seen repairs done by others that missed the real problem—new flashing installed over rotted wood, sealant slapped over cracked crowns, or worse. We do it right: remove the old materials, replace any damaged decking or trim, and install new flashing that's built to last.

Don't Wait

Water damage compounds quickly. What starts as a stain on the ceiling can become rotted framing, ruined insulation, and mold growth. If you see water stains near your chimney, notice a musty smell, or see daylight through mortar joints, call us. We'll get out there, figure out what's going on, and give you a fair price to fix it.

Common questions


How do I know if my chimney is leaking?+

Common signs include water stains on the ceiling or walls near the chimney, white staining (efflorescence) on the brick, a musty odor, or visible damage to the chimney crown or flashing. If you notice any of these, call us for an inspection before the damage spreads.

Can you repair chimney leaks in the winter?+

Yes, in most cases. Some repairs require dry conditions and temperatures above freezing for sealants and mortar to cure properly, but we can often perform emergency temporary repairs and schedule permanent fixes when weather permits.

Will you need to go inside my house?+

Usually not. Most chimney leak repairs are done entirely from the roof and exterior. However, if we need to assess interior water damage or access the chimney from inside, we'll let you know ahead of time and protect your floors and furnishings.
