Most clients don’t give a lot of thought to their Bellerose Terrace home’s (or business’s) chimney caps integrity.

Recognizing Damage Below The Surface

Many of the chimneys that our chimney experts repair are the same chimney caps that were installed when the chimney was originally built. Most of the time, this can be resealed by cutting out the old metal chimney cap with an angle grinder and replacing it with a new chimney cap. Missing mortar joints also need to be resealed and or re-tuckpointed so that the water can cautiously pass by the chimney cap.

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

Dwelling products can simply develop leakage over time. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other dwelling building products can be severely broken by regular water insertion. Because harm begins below the roof and out of sight, clients may not become aware of any danger until a major safety and property risk occurs. We suggest you call Expressway to inspect your roof and chimney soon.
