Chimney Harm Issues

Many of the dwelling’s chimneys in Cutchogue are over 50 years old or more and failing. Most of the time this could be fixed by cutting out the old worrisome metal or brick chimney with an angle grinder and replacing the damaged pieces with new brick or metal. Last – but not least – almost every fireplace needs to be checked for cracks at least once a month. Chimney cracks are one of the main reasons that chimney could leak past the chimney cap or crown. If your chimney’s is rusting and breaking away from your roof, our team could replace all of the areas around the sections in question and help to keep the property’s roof protected. Expressway regularly repairs chimneys that could no longer do its job in preserving a structure from eroding water. House and roof products also simply just develop problems over time. Mold growth – which is generally in dark, undrafted and damp areas are perfect for growing and harboring mold. Because leakage happens below the roof and out of sight, clients could not become aware of possible damage until a major safety and property risk occurs. We suggest you call Expressway to maintain your roof and chimney soon.
