Roof Leak Repair in Great Falls, Paterson: what actually fails

Near the Great Falls, a leak on a brick building often starts at the top of a wall. Water that gets in at a parapet or a wall flashing can travel inside the masonry before it shows, so the trace starts at the wall top, not at the stain.

The 19th-century mill district around the 77-foot falls of the Passaic River, listed on the National Register in 1970 and a National Historic Landmark from 1976, now the heart of the national historical park.

  • Historic district status, before anything else
  • Counter-flashing set into mortar joints
  • Parapet coping and the cant at its base
  • Low roofs behind brick walls

Note 01Is it expensive to fix a roof leak?

Usually not. Leak repair here is published at about $300 to $2,000. What makes a leak expensive is leaving it, because the water keeps working on the boards and ceilings while it runs.

Note 02Why does my roof only leak in heavy rain?

Because water is getting in somewhere that only floods in a downpour: a flat roof ponding up against the tie-in, a valley overflowing, or flashing that lets wind-driven rain in sideways. Note the wind direction; it narrows the search.

Note 03How much should a roof leak repair cost?

Leak repair in Paterson is published at about $300 to $2,000. Most of that is finding the entry point; the repair itself is often one flashing, one boot or one joint.
