Chimney Repair for Hanover chimneys
Most homes in Hanover Township have a brick chimney with a clay tile liner serving the furnace and often a fireplace, typical of the postwar decades. Some older homes near the Whippany River have older masonry chimneys, and newer townhouses usually have prefabricated fireplaces in sided chases.
Asset Roofing & Chimney inspects, cleans, repairs, relines and rebuilds chimneys throughout the township, and repairs chimneys and flues on commercial buildings where they pass through flat roofs.
Hanover housing
Hanover Township's residential areas are mostly postwar single-family homes: capes, ranches, split-levels and colonials from the 1950s through the 1970s, with some older houses near the Whippany River and newer townhouse developments. The commercial side includes office buildings, corporate campuses, warehouses, light-industrial buildings and hangars and related buildings around the airport, most with low-slope roofs.
Weather & exposure
The township's open commercial land and airport area are exposed to wind, and large flat roofs there take the full brunt of storms. Residential neighborhoods have mature trees that drop leaves into gutters and valleys. Low-lying areas along the Whippany River hold moisture. Winters bring snow and freeze-thaw cycles typical of central Morris County.
Repair, repoint or rebuild in Hanover
We inspect from the roof and inside. For most Hanover Township chimneys the work is a crown rebuild, repointing the top courses, a stainless cap and new flashing, with a liner added where a modern appliance vents into an old flue.
For commercial chimneys, we repair the masonry and redo the flashing where the chimney meets the membrane. Unused chimneys can be capped and repaired or, in some cases, removed below the roofline.
