Chimney Repair Near Bellmore

What’s The Importance Of Chimney Repairs?

A rooftop chimney is your Bellmore property’s major line of defense against water leakage. A chimney is one of the most essential parts of a property’s integrity. Chimney damage is hardly ever seen – or even noticed – until something goes awry with it. Chimney repairs are necessary to stop your Bellmore property from water seepage. Chimney repairs are almost always made with cement or thin metal (tin, steel or aluminum) that is usually mounted beneath the roof’s shingles. Replacing your chimney (or chimney sealants) from time to time could go a long way in water tightening your roof and protecting your Bellmore property from water infiltration.

A chimney cap’s purpose is to stop rain water and melting snow from penetrating your home. A chimney repair is generally made with concrete or metal – spread or screwed to fit securely around the top of your chimney. When installed properly, proper chimney repairs might serve you for myriad years. Expressway provides chimney consultations, preventative maintenance and chimney consultations to protect your chimney as well as the roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration caused by excessive water aggression.

Water stains could indicate the start of a chimney leaking problem. Our professional chimney techs can find the source of the problem and fix it ASAP.

Chimney Estimates

Many the chimneys that we repair are the same chimney that were installed when the chimney was first equipped. Most of the time this can be repaired by cutting out the old harmed metal or brick chimney with an angle grinder and replacing the broken pieces with new brick or metal. Missing mortar joints also need to be repaired and or re-tuckpointed so that the water may pass by the chimney cap. Expressway’s team can visit the property and assess the integrity of your property’s chimney system, identify whether the chimney needs to be resealed. If the chimney’s is rusting and breaking away from the roof, our team might replace all of the areas around the areas in question and help to keep the property’s roof cushioned. Expressway regularly replaces chimneys that will no longer do its job in defending a property from infiltrating water. Chimney damage usually begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline. If there are undiscovered cracks or compromises in this masonry, the leakage will be faster and more pervasive. Mold growth – which is usually in dark, undrafted and damp places are perfect for growing and harboring mold. Mold is known to be risky to humans and pets and if water is infiltrating down into your structure, the growth can be widespread and very expensive to remedy. We suggest you call Expressway to evaluate your roof and chimney soon.
