Chimney Repair Near Lido Beach

What Is The Importance Of Regular Chimney Repairs?

A rooftop chimney is your Lido Beach home’s major line of defense against water breakage. A chimney is one of the most imperitive systems of a home’s integrity. Chimney damage is rarely seen – or even noticed – until something goes awry with it. When roof or chimneys become broken, it loses its resistance to water infiltration and leaks cause a host of other problems. The chimney caulking applied to keep the chimney in place could slowly erode, making your roof sensitive to leaks. Chimney repair is the fist line of defense from water damage.

A chimney cap’s purpose is to avert rain water and melting snow from eroding your structure. If water is allowed to flow down into your property through a gap caused by damages or missing chimney cap, there should be major cause for concern. Expressway provides chimney services, preventative maintenance and chimney inspections to cushion the chimney as well as the roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration caused by excessive water aggression.

Checking For Chimney Leakage

Even if your chimney looks dry after a heavy rain or snow storm, there could still be underlying problems that can go unnoticed to a novice eye. Water stains could indicate the inception of a chimney leaking problem. Our expert chimney techs will find the source of the problem and repair it ASAP. Leaky roofs always cause additional problems to other parts of your dwelling – which can include the growth of dangerous mold and mildew – and that can usually cost the owner thousands more to fix. Are there any shrinking, blistering or curling shingles? Is there any water infiltrating into the attic or into walls that you can see?

Do I Need My Chimney Repaired Or Replaced?

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in Lido Beach) we get quite a bit of sun, wind, sleet, rain and snow every year. Leakage producers definitely include powerful winds that can displace the chimney materials. Rust issues (which are common with certain types of chimney materials). Old age – i.e. many storms, cold winters and hot summers will also reduce your chimney’s lifespan. A chimney that has deteriorated from the elements can eventually cause harm to the roofing layout, as your chimney fix helps prevent water damages from occurring to the roof deck and shingle layout. With so much to gain from having precisely installed or maintained chimney, it’s essential to ensure that the chimney is kept in prime working order.

Whether you have a fireplace that is built with masonry stone or brick you’ll have to maintain the chimney so that it won’t leak.

Chimney Maintenance

Many of the home’s chimneys in Lido Beach are over 50 years old or more and failing. Most of the time this may be fixed by cutting out the old concerning metal or brick chimney with an angle grinder and replacing the destroyed 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 may leak past the chimney cap or crown. Chimney inspection is a small maintenance task, but it’s one that you can’t afford to overlook. Chimney leakage usually begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline. If there are undiscovered cracks or compromises in this masonry, the problems could be faster and more pervasive. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other residence building products could be severely damaged by regular water infiltration. Mold is known to be dangerous to humans and pets and if water is aggressive down into your residence, the growth may be widespread and very expensive to remedy. We suggest you call Expressway to test your roof and chimney soon.
