Looking for a Chimney INSTALLATION OR REPAIR?
INTACT ROOF
New Jersey Chimney Specialist
Water often enters where a chimney meets the roof. Intact Roof inspects flashing, nearby shingles, caps, and visible masonry to identify the source before recommending a repair. We explain the work and provide a clear scope for New Jersey homes.
5 Signs You Need Repair
of your Chimney.
Mortar joints and masonry
Cracked or missing mortar can let water into the chimney. If you notice gaps from the ground, schedule an inspection; avoid climbing onto the roof yourself.
Moisture or rust
Stains, damp spots, or rust around the chimney may point to a cap, flashing, or masonry issue. We inspect the roof junction and explain what needs repair.
Cracked bricks or crown
New cracks, loose bricks, or a damaged crown deserve a closer look. Photograph what you can see safely from the ground so we can discuss the next step.
Smoke or draft problems
If smoke enters the room or the draft changes, stop using the fireplace and arrange a qualified chimney inspection. The flue or liner may need attention beyond roof flashing.
Openings around the chimney
Animals, debris, or staining can point to a missing cap or gaps in masonry. An inspection can distinguish chimney issues from leaks at the roof junction.

FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
On new construction, the chimney and roof details need to work together. We plan the flashing, roof penetration, and surrounding shingles to help shed water at this vulnerable junction. Share your plans or photos with Intact Roof so we can discuss the roofing scope.

Repair Work
Chimney leaks often begin where masonry meets the roof. We inspect the flashing, surrounding shingles, and visible masonry to trace the likely entry point. Depending on the condition, the roofing scope may include replacing damaged flashing or nearby shingles. We explain the findings and recommend a practical repair. If the flue, liner, or chimney structure needs specialist work, we will point that out during the assessment.
