Chimney Repair for Teterboro chimneys
Teterboro has very few residential chimneys, so chimney work here is limited. Where homes do have masonry chimneys, or where commercial buildings have brick chimneys or flues that pass through the roof, the issues are the same as elsewhere in the region: cracked crowns, missing caps, open mortar joints and flashing that has separated from the masonry.
On flat-roofed commercial buildings, the most common chimney-related leak is at the base, where the masonry meets the membrane. We reflash the base, repoint and repair crowns and caps, and coordinate the chimney repair with any roofing work so the two are watertight together.
Teterboro housing
Teterboro has very little housing. The borough is dominated by Teterboro Airport and its hangars and aviation buildings, along with warehouses, distribution and light industrial buildings, commercial offices and large retail stores near the main highway corridors. Almost all of these buildings have flat or low-slope roofs, many of them large in area.
Weather & exposure
The borough sits on low, flat ground on the edge of the Meadowlands near the Hackensack River, with wide open spaces around the airport. Large flat roofs here have little to break the wind, so membrane edges and rooftop equipment take direct gusts. Low ground means heavy rain drains slowly, and big roofs with few drains can pond. Summer heat and winter freeze-thaw both stress membranes and seams.
