How Does A Chimney Become Leaky?

A variety of elements can harm the chimney and start the need for either a chimney fixing or a full, new chimney installation. Squirrels, raccoons and other animals could be tearing at the chimney to get in. Improperly installed chimneys or poor-quality cement or caulking materials used in the sealing process could be to blame. Workers on a Seaford roof may also inadvertently break or dislodge the chimney. If your chimney’s is damaged, it can quickly become a major deterioration if left unaddressed. With so much to gain from having precisely installed or maintained chimney, it’s always important to ensure that the chimney is kept in fine working order.

Chimney Trouble Issues

Many of the chimneys that our technicians fix are the same chimneys that were installed when the chimney was originally built. Most of the time this can be fixed by cutting out the old alarming metal or brick chimney with an angle grinder and replacing the deteriorated pieces with new brick or metal. Last – but not least – almost every fireplace needs to be investigated for cracks at least once a month. Chimney cracks are one of the main reasons that chimney will leak past the chimney cap or crown. If your chimney’s is rusting and breaking away from your roof, Expressway’s team can replace all of the areas around the spots in question and help to keep your dwelling’s roof protected. Chimney leakage generally begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline. If there are undiscovered cracks or compromises in this masonry, the leakage can be faster and more pervasive. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other structure building materials can be severely harmed by regular water infiltration. Mold is known to be dangerous to humans and pets and if water is leaking down into your structure, the growth may be widespread and very expensive to remedy. We suggest you call Expressway to test your roof and chimney soon.
