Roof Leak Repair in Hillcrest, Paterson: what actually fails

A Hillcrest leak around the chimney is one of the most common calls on older Paterson houses, and it is almost never the brick. It is the step flashing where the brick meets the roof, and it is rebuilt rather than tarred.

A Second Ward neighborhood with a mix of upper- and middle-class homes, where post-war single-family houses and two-families sit among older ones.

  • Chimney step flashing where brick meets shingle
  • The fall on a later flat roof
  • Two-family roofs over two households
  • The joint where an addition meets the original roof

04Sequence

From first call to finished

The joint between flat and pitched roofs checked first, and a written quote before any work starts.

01

Call and say which roof

Tell us the address and what you are seeing: a stain, a drip, shingles in the yard, water standing on the back roof.

02

The joint first, then each roof

The tie-in between the flat and pitched roofs, then parapets and drains, then chimney, valleys and boots.

03

A written quote, roof by roof

The pitched roof on its own lines, the flat roof on its own, and the tie-in named between them, with permit status for your building.

04

The work, then the walkaround

Membrane turned up and fixed, shingles woven in over it, flashing cut into brick rather than caulked.

Note 01How long can you leave a leaking roof?

A small, steady drip already caught can usually wait a few days for a proper repair. Water near a light fixture, a bulging ceiling, or water showing in another unit cannot wait at all.

Note 02When to worry about a roof leak?

Straight away if the water is near anything electrical, the ceiling bulges, or the leak grows with every rain. An old, dry stain that has not grown is worth tracing, but it is not an emergency.

Note 03Why 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.
