CHIMNEY CAP REPAIRS FOR PLANDOME HEIGHTS

What’s The Need For Chimney Cap Repairs?

A chimney cap repair is usually your Plandome Heights home’s first line of integrity against water leakage. Your chimney cap is one of the most neglected spots when it comes to the adequate upkeep of a home. Most homeowners don’t give a lot of thought to their Plandome Heights home’s (or business’s) chimney caps integrity. Chimney cap repairs are necessary to forestall your Plandome Heights dwelling from water leakage. The chimney cap caulking used to keep your chimney cap in place will slowly erode, making your roof sensitive 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 defending your Plandome Heights home from water aggression.

A chimney cap’s purpose is to prevent rain water and melting snow from penetrating your dwelling. When installed properly, proper chimney cap repairs will serve you for many years. Expressway provides chimney cap inspections, preventative maintenance and chimney inspections to preserve the chimney as well as your roof and attic from the inevitable rotting caused by excessive water intrusion.

Chimney Cap Damage To Look For

Even if your chimney appears dry after a heavy rain or snow storm, there could still be underlying leakage that might not be noticeable to a novice eye. If, when it starts to rain, you notice that there are areas in your residence that start to leak, call Expressway Roofing & Chimney immediately. Our professional chimney techs will find the source of the complication and fix it ASAP. Leaky roofs almost always cause additional leakage to other parts of your dwelling which can include the growth of noxious mold and mildew… and that will then cost you thousands more to fix. Are there shrinking, blistering or curling shingles? Is there any water leaking into the attic or into walls or down stairs that you can see?

Do I Need My Chimney Cap Repaired?

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in Plandome Heights) 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 harms are common with certain types of chimney cap products. Old age – i.e. many cold winters and hot summers. A chimney cap that has rotted from the elements will eventually cause harm to the roofing system, as your chimney cap repair helps forestall water damage from occurring to the roof deck and shingle system. With so much to gain from having correctly installed or maintained chimney cap, it’s always important to ensure that the chimney cap is kept in excellent working order.

Some Signs The Chimney Needs A New Cap:

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

Whether your Plandome Heights home 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.

Recognizing Harm Below The Surface

Many of the chimneys that our technicians repair are the same chimney caps that were installed when the chimney was initially built. The next element that our technicians would assess the bricks that are above the chimney cap need to be renovated. Missing mortar joints also need to be corrected and or re-tuckpointed so that the water can effortlessly pass by the chimney cap.

Chimney crown cracks are one of the main reasons that chimney can leak past the chimney cap. If the chimney’s cap is rusting and breaking away from the roof, Expressway’s team will replace all of the areas around the spots in question and help to keep the home’s roof preserved. Chimney damage frequently begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline.

Dwelling pieces can simply develop breakage over time. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other property building materials can be severely damaged by regular water intrusion. Because breakage occurrs below the roof and out of sight, property owners 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.
