A chimney cap repair is usually your Plandome residence’s first line of defense against water damage. A chimney cap is one of the most important parts of a structure’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 damaged, it loses it imperviousness and resistance to water and starts a host of other weakening.

Spotting Harmed Chimney Caps

Many of the residence’s chimneys in Plandome are over 50 years old (or more) and failing. Most of the time, this can be fixed by cutting out the old metal chimney cap with an angle grinder and replacing it with a new chimney cap. . Last – but not least – almost every fireplace’s crown needs to be investigated for cracks, problems or breaks at least once a month.
