Stopping two roof leaks in Cranford, NJ, at a pipe boot and the chimney flashing
Roof Repair · Cranford, NJ · completed March 2024
We just finished a roof repair in Cranford, NJ. The job came down to two leaks, one at a pipe boot and one at the chimney flashing.
The problem
Water was getting into the house around the pipe boot and around the chimney. Those are two of the places a roof most often lets water through. When the seal there fails, you get a leak.
What we did
We started by inspecting the roof. Then we repaired the pipe boot and fixed the flashing at the chimney so water can't get at either spot.
Materials
Aluminum flashing, step flashing, new pipe boot, shingles, and sealant
