CHIMNEY CAP REPAIRS FOR NEW CASSEL

What’s The Need For Chimney Cap Repairs?

A chimney cap repair is usually your New Cassel residence’s first line of protection against water problems. A chimney cap is one of the most important parts of a home’s healthy chimney. Most homeowners don’t give a lot of thought to their New Cassel home’s (or business’s) chimney caps integrity. When roof or chimney cap repair becomes leaky, it loses it imperviousness and resistance to water and begins a host of other harm. Chimney cap repairs are usually made with cement or thin copper, galvanized steel or aluminum sheets that are typically mounted beneath the roof’s shingles. Replacing your chimney cap (or chimney cap sealants) from time to time will go a long way in water tightening your roof and preserving your New Cassel home from water penetration.

A chimney cap’s purpose is to avert rain water and melting snow from penetrating your structure. If water is allowed to penetrate into your residence through a gap caused by broken or missing chimney cap, there should be major cause for worry. Expressway provides chimney cap inspections, preventative maintenance and chimney assessments to protect your chimney as well as your roof and attic from the inevitable rotting caused by excessive water aggression.

Looking For Chimney Cap Damage

Following a storm, walk around your structure and maintain for water stains and in your house and ceilings using a flashlight – if possible. If, when it starts to rain, you notice that there are areas in your structure that start to leak, call Expressway Roofing & Chimney immediately. Our trained chimney techs will find the source of the breakage and repair it ASAP. Leaky roofs almost always cause additional damage to other parts of your structure which can include the growth of noxious mold and mildew… and that will then cost you thousands more to repair. If you notice harmful mold, shrinking, blistering or curling shingles, contact an fully-trained chimney cap chimney company such as Expressway to maintain your dwelling’s roof and recommend an appropriate course of action before it’s too late.

How Does A Chimney Cap Become Clogged?

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in New Cassel) 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. Rust trouble are common with certain types of chimney cap products. Old age – i.e. many cold winters and hot summers. A chimney cap that has rusted from the elements will eventually cause harm to the roofing system, as the chimney cap repair helps prevent water leakage from occurring to your roof deck and shingle system. 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 excellent working order.

Some Signs The Chimney Needs A New Cap:

  • If your chimney cap is missing
  • When the chimney cap seems to be rusted or rotted through
  • If your chimney cap seems to be coming loose
  • the 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 structure.

Whether your New Cassel 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 New Cassel are over 50 years old (or more) and failing. The next part that our chimney experts would assess the bricks that are above the chimney cap need to be fixed. Missing mortar joints also need to be renovated and or re-tuckpointed so that the water can harmlessly pass by the chimney cap.

Chimney crown cracks are one of the main reasons that chimney can leak underneath the chimney cap. Chimney inspection appears a small maintenance task, but it’s one that you can’t afford to overlook. Chimney problems generally 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 severely deteriorated by regular water seepage. Mold is known to be dangerous to humans and pets – and – if water is damaging down into your property, the growth can be widespread and very expensive to replace. We suggest you call Expressway to inspect your roof and chimney soon.
