CHIMNEY CAP REPAIRS FOR BRIGHTWATERS

A Few Of The Multiple Types Of Chimney Caps

Chimney caps secure the area atop the chimney from leaking water where the roof meets the chimney. A chimney cap is one of the most important 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. When roof or chimney cap repair becomes broken, it loses it imperviousness and resistance to water and causes a host of other problems. The chimney cap caulking used to keep your chimney cap in place will slowly erode, making your roof prone to leaks. Replacing your chimney cap (or chimney cap sealants) from time to time will go a long way in water tightening the roof and protecting your Brightwaters property from water penetration.

A chimney cap’s purpose is to hamper rain water and melting snow from damaging your dwelling. If water is allowed to penetrate into the home through a gap caused by leaking or missing chimney cap, there should be major cause for concern. Expressway provides chimney cap inspections, preventative maintenance and chimney inspections to cushion your chimney as well as your roof and attic from the inevitable corrosion caused by excessive water penetration.

Analyzing For Chimney Cap Damage

Following a storm, walk around your dwelling and inspect for water stains and in your house and ceilings using a flashlight – if possible. Water stains could indicate the start of your chimney leaking complication. Our highly-skilled chimney techs will find the source of the breakage and replace it ASAP. Leaky roofs almost always cause additional problems to other parts of your structure which can include the growth of ssickening mold and mildew… and that will then cost the owner thousands more to replace. Are there shrinking, blistering or curling shingles? Is there any water eroding into the attic or into walls that you can see?

Renovating Your Own Chimney Cap

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in Brightwaters) we get quite a bit of sun, wind, sleet, rain and snow every year. Harm producers definitely include powerful winds that can displace the chimney cap material. Rust weakening are common with certain types of chimney cap materials. Old age – i.e. many cold winters and hot summers. If your chimney’s cap appears leaky, it can quickly become a major problem if left neglected. With so much to gain from having properly installed or maintained chimney cap, it’s important to ensure that your chimney cap is kept in prime working order.

Some Signs the Chimney Needs A New Cap:

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

Chimney cap repairs for your house should last about 20 years in Brightwaters’s climate due to the amount of wear and tear caused by New York’s weather.

Spotting Damaged Chimney Caps

Many of the residence’s chimneys in Brightwaters are over 50 years old (or more) and failing. The next element that our technicians would evaluate the bricks that are above the chimney cap need to be corrected Last – but not least – almost every fireplace’s crown needs to be inspected for cracks, damage or breaks at least once a month.

Chimney crown cracks are one of the main reasons that chimney can leak under the chimney cap. Chimney inspection appears a small maintenance task, but it’s one that you can’t afford to overlook. Chimney leakage typically begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline.

Residence materials can simply develop damage over time. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other property building products can be seriously deteriorated by regular water invasion. Mold is known to be detrimental to humans and pets – and – if water is damaging down into your home, the growth can be widespread and very expensive to remedy. We suggest you call Expressway to maintain your roof and chimney soon.
