How we execute Chimney repair in The Borough
Chimney repair in The Borough requires a different approach than new construction. The brick is old, the mortar is soft, and the roofs are steep. We start every job with an inspection camera to see inside the flue, then
Older brick chimneys with soft mortar in the historic district
Soft mortar erodes faster and cannot take a hard repair mix. Using the wrong mortar will spall the brick face within a winter or two. This is common on homes near Milford Green and High Street.
How we help: We test the existing mortar and match a mix with the right compressive strength and color. We repoint joints with tuckpointing mortar and avoid over-grinding the brick. This keeps the chimney looking original and prevents further damage.
Coastal wind-driven rain and nor'easters
Driving rain finds every crack in the crown and flashing. Chimneys in The Borough take more water than inland towns because of the coastal exposure. Leaks show up as stained ceilings and rusted dampers.
How we help: We repair crowns with a proper overhang and apply crown sealant. We replace flashing with new metal and seal it correctly. We also apply ChimneySaver water repellent to the brick to shed water while letting it breathe.
Steep roofs and tight access on Broad Street and High Street
Many The Borough homes have steep pitches and narrow side yards. Getting equipment to the chimney safely takes planning. We cannot just lean a ladder against a slate roof.
How we help: We use roof anchors and fall protection rated for steep pitches. We stage materials in a way that does not block sidewalks or driveways. For tight lots, we use a smaller ladder setup and carry tools up by hand.
