Chimney Repair Near Plandome

What Are Some Styles Of Chimney Repairs?

A rooftop chimney is your Plandome dwelling’s major line of defense against water infiltration. A chimney is one of the most imperitive pieces of a property’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 penetration and leaks start a host of other weakening. The chimney caulking used to keep your chimney in place can slowly erode, making your roof wide open to leaks. Chimney repair is your fist line of defense from water damage.

A chimney fix is generally made with concrete or metal – spread or screwed to fit securely around the top of your chimney. When installed precisely, proper chimney fixes may serve you for many years. Expressway provides chimney services, preventative maintenance and chimney inspections to secure your chimney as well as your roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration caused by excessive water intrusion.

Checking For Chimney Problems

Even if your chimney looks okay 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 beginning of a chimney leaking problem. Expressway’s highly-skilled chimney and roofing technicians recommend you never let leaks go without resealing for very long. Leaky roofs always cause additional damage to other parts of your residence – which can include the growth of risky mold and mildew – and that could always cost you thousands more to repair. Are there visible shrinking, blistering or curling shingles? Is there any water infiltrating into the attic or into walls that you can see?

Incorrectly installed chimneys or poor-quality cement or caulking products used in the sealing process could be to blame.
