Roofing and chimney work in Wallington
Wallington is a small, densely built borough on the east bank of the Passaic River, at the southwest edge of Bergen County. Its streets are lined with older frame houses on narrow lots, many of them two- and three-family homes, with low-rise apartment buildings and newer infill multifamily mixed in. Roofs here are close together, often low-slope, and many buildings still rely on old brick chimneys.

Housing in Wallington
Wallington has a compact, older housing stock. Much of it is frame two-family and three-family homes on narrow lots from the first half of the 20th century, alongside single-family homes, low-rise apartment buildings and newer multifamily infill. Many multifamily homes have flat or low-slope roofs; single-family homes typically have pitched asphalt shingle roofs. Small commercial and light industrial buildings line the main roads and the riverfront area.
Weather and exposure
The borough's western edge is the Passaic River, and low-lying areas near the river are prone to flooding during major storms. Damp ground and humid basements affect chimney bases and lower masonry. Buildings stand close together, so roofs drain toward neighbors and shared walkways, and debris collects in the gaps between them. Freeze-thaw cycles work on aging brick chimneys and parapets.
