Chimney Cap Repairs For South Farmingdale

Some Of The Numerous Types Of Chimney Caps

Chimney caps secure the place atop the chimney from leaking water where the roof meets the chimney. A chimney cap is one of the most essential parts of a residence’s healthy chimney. Chimney cap damage is rarely seen from the ground – or even noticed – until something goes wrong with it. Chimney cap repairs are necessary to stall your South Farmingdale home from water problems. The chimney cap caulking used to keep the chimney cap in place will slowly erode, making the roof sensitive to leaks. Warped or missing chimney cap parts can lead to serious water leak and heavy harm to your South Farmingdale property and parts of the chimney.

A chimney cap’s purpose is to impede rain water and melting snow from leaking your structure. When installed correctly, proper chimney cap repairs will serve you for many years. Expressway provides chimney cap inspections, preventative maintenance and chimney inspections to preserve your chimney as well as the roof and attic from the inevitable rotting caused by excessive water intrusion.

Evaluating For Chimney Cap Damage

Even if your chimney looks dry after a heavy rain or snow storm, there could still be underlying leakage that might not be obvious to a novice eye. Water stains could indicate the start of your chimney leaking problem. Our trained chimney techs will find the source of the damage and fix it ASAP. Leaky roofs almost always cause additional problems to other parts of your dwelling which can include the growth of dangerous mold and mildew… and that will then cost the owner thousands more to repair. If you notice dangerous mold, shrinking, blistering or curling shingles, contact an professional chimney cap company such as Expressway to inspect your dwelling’s roof and recommend an appropriate course of action before it’s too late.

Do I Need My Chimney Cap Repaired?

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in South Farmingdale) we get quite a bit of sun, wind, sleet, rain and snow every year. Leakage producers definitely include powerful winds that can free the chimney cap material. Rust trouble are common with certain types of chimney cap materials. Workers on the South Farmingdale roof may also inadvertently damage or dislodge the chimney cap. If your chimney’s cap seems to be broken, it can quickly become a major harm if left ignored. With so much to gain from having precisely installed or maintained chimney cap, it’s always important to ensure that the chimney cap is kept in good working order.

Some Signs The Chimney Needs A New Cap:

• If the chimney cap is dislodge
• When your chimney cap looks rusted or rotted through
• If your chimney cap looks coming loose
• Your chimney cap is covered with roofing tar
• You’re installing new roof shingles – or having other roofing work done
• Your chimney is leaking water into your dwelling.

Whether your South Farmingdale house has a fireplace that was built with masonry stone or brick – you’ll have to maintain the chimney cap so that it won’t leak.

Chimney Cap Breakages

Many of the chimneys that our pros repair are the same chimney caps that were installed when the chimney was initially built. The next element that our technicians would evaluate the bricks that are above the chimney cap need to be renovated. Missing mortar joints also need to be renovated and or re-tuckpointed so that the water can freely pass by the chimney cap.

Our team will visit the property and assess the integrity of your structure’s chimney system, identify whether the chimney cap needs to be repaired. Chimney inspection appears a small maintenance task, but it’s one that you can’t afford to overlook. Expressway regularly fixes chimney caps that can no longer do its job in defending a structure from eroding water.

If there are undiscovered cracks or compromises in this masonry, the harm can be faster and more pervasive. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other property building materials can be really deteriorated by regular water aggression. Because breakage begins below the roof and out of sight, customers may not become aware of a leak until a major safety and property risk occurs. We suggest you call Expressway to inspect your roof and chimney soon.
