A hamlet off County Route 528 in North Hanover farm country. Almost every older house here has a brick chimney through the roof.
Arneytown is a hamlet in North Hanover Township, off County Route 528 in farm country, best known as the location of the Brigadier General William C. Doyle Veterans Memorial Cemetery. The housing is a short list: nineteenth-century frame houses, a few postwar ranches, and some newer builds on large lots. Almost every one of the older houses has a masonry chimney coming up through the roof plane.
Old brick and old mortar are where these roofs let go. We set counterflashing into cut joints rather than caulking it to the brick face, add a cricket where a chimney is wide enough to hold snow behind it, and replace the step flashing course by course. Permits are issued by the North Hanover Township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.

Usually the junction between them. Counterflashing that was caulked to the brick face instead of cut into the joints fails within a few years, and old mortar lets water track down inside the masonry as well. We open it up and tell you which of the two you are dealing with.
It is a small framed peak built behind a chimney on its upslope side, so water and snow divide and run around instead of piling against the brick. A wide chimney on a low pitch generally needs one. We recommend it where the geometry calls for it and explain why when it does not.
North Hanover Township, and note that it is a different municipality from New Hanover Township next door. The North Hanover Township construction office reviews the roofing application and sends the inspector under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code. We confirm the address before filing so nothing goes to the wrong office.
It can. Snow piles against the upslope face, melts slowly, and refreezes as ice that backs water up under the shingle courses. A cricket gets the snow moving off and ice-and-water membrane around the chimney adds a second line of defense, and both go in during a replacement.
