Chimney Cap Repairs For Kensington

CHIMNEY CAP REPAIRS FOR KENSINGTON

Some Of The Various Types Of Chimney Caps

A chimney cap repair is typically your Kensington property’s first line of defense against water leakage. A chimney cap is one of the most imperitive parts of a residence’s healthy chimney. Chimney cap damage is rarely seen from the ground – or even noticed – until something goes bad with it. When roof or chimney cap repair becomes broken, it loses it imperviousness and resistance to water and causes a host of other leaks. Chimney cap repairs are frequently made with cement or thin copper, galvanized steel or aluminum sheets that are generally mounted beneath your roof’s shingles. If water gets under your chimney cap, there is nothing left to stop it from penetrating into your property’s structure’s walls and ceilings.

A chimney cap repair is typically made with concrete or metal – spread or screwed to fit securely around the top of the chimney. If water seems to be allowed to flow down into the dwelling through a gap caused by harmed or missing chimney cap, there should be major cause for alarm. Expressway provides chimney cap inspections, preventative maintenance and chimney inspections to secure the chimney as well as your roof and attic from the inevitable corrosion caused by excessive water penetration.

Analyzing Chimney Cap Damage

Even if your chimney looks fine after a heavy rain or snow storm, there could still be underlying problems that might not be obvious to a novice eye. If, when it starts to rain, you notice that there are areas in your home that start to leak, call Expressway Roofing & Chimney immediately. Expressway’s professional chimney pros recommend you never let leaks go without fix for very long. Leaky roofs almost always cause additional problems to other parts of your residence which can include the growth of sickening mold and mildew… and that will then cost the owner thousands more to repair. Are there shrinking, blistering or curling shingles? Is there any water damaging into the attic or into walls or down stairs that you can see?

Do I Need My Chimney Cap Repaired?

A variety of parts can weaken the chimney cap and start the need for either a chimney cap repair or a chimney cap installation. Squirrels, raccoons and other animals may be tearing at the chimney cap to get in. Rust harms are common with certain types of chimney cap metals. Old age – i.e. many cold winters and hot summers. If the chimney’s cap seems to be damaged, it can quickly become a major leak if left overlooked. With so much to gain from having properly installed or maintained chimney cap, it’s important to ensure that the chimney cap is kept in optimum working order.

Some Signs A Chimney Needs A New Cap:

  • If your chimney cap is harmed
  • When the chimney cap is 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 is leaking water into your residence.

Whether your Kensington property 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 Inspections

Many of the home’s chimneys in Kensington are over 50 years old (or more) and failing. The next factor that our pros would analyze the bricks that are above the chimney cap need to be repaired. 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 beyond the chimney cap. If the chimney’s cap is rusting and breaking away from the roof, our team will replace all of the areas around the places in question and help to keep your home’s roof preserved. Expressway regularly addresses chimney caps that can no longer do its job in preserving a property from penetrating water.

Residence materials can simply develop harm over time. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other property building products can be really harmed by regular water invasion. Because leakage happens 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 test your roof and chimney soon.
