Raised Houses, Nor'easter Rain& Bayshore BrickChimney, fireplace and masonry repair across Port Monmouth, Belford, Keansburg, Atlantic Highlands, Middletown and Rumson
The Bayshore took the full force of Hurricane Sandy in 2012, and many homes from Union Beach to Port Monmouth were repaired or lifted onto new foundations afterward. Chimneys didn't always come through that cleanly. Add nor'easters that drive rain sideways off the bay and salt air that wears on old brick, and you have a coast that's hard on masonry. Our shop on Route 36 in Port Monmouth keeps a dispatcher on duty 24/7.

Chimneys on homes that were flooded or lifted
Raised houses, new questions
When a house is lifted, the chimney is often rebuilt, shortened or replaced with a vented gas unit. We check that what was done still drafts and clears the roof properly.
Flood-soaked bases
Saltwater can weaken mortar and rust dampers and clean-out doors low in the chimney. We look at the parts floodwater reached.
Paperwork for permits & insurers
Photo reports and repair scopes for flood claims, elevation projects and resale inspections.
Liners for new appliances
Furnaces and water heaters moved up during elevation often need a new liner or vent run.

Roof check & estimate
Times from 429 NJ-36, Port Monmouth. Summer shore traffic on Route 36 and the Parkway can add time, so dispatch confirms on the call.
Wind-driven rain off the bay
Keeping a chimney dry through nor'easters
Storms that come in off Raritan Bay push rain sideways into crowns, flashing and brick for days at a time. Our approach:
FIND
Trace the water
We check the crown, cap, flashing and brick face, since sideways rain often enters somewhere other than you'd expect.
CAP
Full-width caps
Stainless caps that cover the whole crown with drip edges to throw water clear of the brick.
FLASH
Counter-flashing
Flashing cut into the mortar joints, not just caulked to the face, so wind can't peel it back.
SEAL
Breathable repellent
A vapor-permeable water repellent on the brick that stops absorption but lets trapped moisture out.

Tall chimneys on the hills above the bay
East of Port Monmouth the land rises into the hills of Atlantic Highlands, with Victorian and early-1900s homes looking out over the water. South across the river, Rumson's larger homes have multi-flue chimneys of brick and stone.
Full exposure to wind
Hilltop chimneys take the brunt of storm wind, so we check mortar and caps at the top first.
Steep roofs
Roof brackets, staging and safety lines for slate and steep shingle roofs.
Multiple flues
Large homes often run three or more flues in one stack. Each is inspected and capped.
Stone that matches
Stone chimneys repointed and patched to blend with the original.

What happens when I call your 24/7 dispatch?
A dispatcher answers and gets a crew moving. Water pouring in during a nor'easter, a cap blown off or bricks loosened by wind all get a fast response. If there's fire, a gas smell or your CO detector sounds, get everyone out and phone 911 before anything else.
Our house was raised after Sandy. Is the chimney okay?
Not necessarily. Raising a house often means the chimney was rebuilt, shortened or removed and appliances moved. We inspect what's there and make sure it still vents and drafts safely.
Can floodwater damage a fireplace?
Yes. Saltwater can weaken mortar, rust dampers and clean-out doors, and leave salts in the brick. An inspection after any flooding is a good idea.
Why does my chimney leak only during nor'easters?
Wind-driven rain hits from directions normal rain doesn't. It often finds gaps in the crown, cap or flashing on the bay-facing side.
What is the white powder on my brick?
It's efflorescence, salt left behind as water moves through masonry. We clean it and fix the water source so it doesn't keep coming back.
Do you work on tall chimneys in Atlantic Highlands?
Yes. We use proper roof staging and safety equipment for tall stacks and steep roofs.
Which towns do you serve?
Port Monmouth, Belford, Leonardo, Keansburg, Middletown, Atlantic Highlands, Highlands, Hazlet, Holmdel, Union Beach, Red Bank and Rumson.
