Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in Coram) we get quite a bit of sun, wind, sleet, rain and snow every year. Squirrels, raccoons and other animals may be tearing at the chimney cap to get in. Inexactly-installed chimney caps or poor-quality cement or caulking used in the sealing process. Old age – i.e. many cold winters and hot summers. If the chimney’s cap is leaky, it can quickly become a major leak if left slighted. With so much to gain from having precisely installed or maintained chimney cap, it is important to ensure that your chimney cap is kept in good working order.

Some Signs A Chimney Needs A New Cap:

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

Recognizing Destruction Below The Surface

Many of the chimneys that our pros repair are the same chimney caps that were installed when the chimney was originally built. The next thing that our technicians would analyze the bricks that are above the chimney cap need to be fixed. Last – but not least – almost every fireplace’s crown needs to be inspected for cracks, defects or breaks at least once a month.

Chimney crown cracks are one of the main reasons that chimney can leak beyond the chimney cap. Chimney inspection is a small maintenance task, but it’s one that you can’t afford to overlook. Chimney harm most commonly begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline.

If there are undiscovered cracks or compromises in this masonry, the problems can be faster and more pervasive. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other structure building products can be really harmed by regular water seepage. Mold is known to be toxic to humans and pets – and – if water is penetrating down into your property, the growth can be widespread and very expensive to replace. We suggest you call Expressway to maintain your roof and chimney soon.
