Chimney Cap Repairs For Seaford

CHIMNEY CAP REPAIRS FOR SEAFORD

What’s The Need For Chimney Cap Repairs?

A chimney cap repair is generally your Seaford residence’s first line of defense against water leakage. Your chimney cap is one of the most forgotten sections when it comes to the adequate sustainment of a residence. Most homeowners don’t give a lot of thought to their Seaford home’s (or business’s) chimney caps integrity. When roof or chimney cap repair becomes harmful, it loses it imperviousness and resistance to water and causes a host of other issues. The chimney cap caulking used to keep the chimney cap in place will slowly erode, making your roof open to leaks. Replacing your chimney cap (or chimney cap sealants) from time to time will go a long way in water tightening your roof and securing your Seaford structure from water aggression.

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 appears allowed to intrude into the residence through a gap caused by broken or missing chimney cap, there should be major cause for concern. Expressway provides chimney cap inspections, preventative maintenance and chimney assessments to defend the chimney as well as the roof and attic from the inevitable rotting caused by excessive water infiltration.

Chimney Cap Issues To Look For

Following a storm, walk around your dwelling and maintain for water stains and in your house and ceilings using a flashlight – if possible. Water stains could indicate the start of your chimney leaking issue. Our highly-skilled chimney techs will find the source of the breakage and repair it ASAP. Leaky roofs almost always cause additional leakage to other parts of your dwelling which can include the growth of harmful mold and mildew… and that will then cost the owner thousands more to remedy. Are there shrinking, blistering or curling shingles? Is there any water infiltrating into the attic or into walls or down stairs that you can see?

Correcting Your Own Chimney Cap

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in Seaford) 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. Imprecisely-installed chimney caps or poor-quality cement or caulking used in the sealing process. Old age – i.e. many cold winters and hot summers. A chimney cap that has rusted from the elements will eventually cause harm to your roofing system, as your chimney cap repair helps forestall water damage from occurring to your roof deck and shingle system. With so much to gain from having precisely installed or maintained chimney cap, it’s always important to ensure that your chimney cap is kept in fine working order.

Some Signs The Chimney Needs A New Cap:

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

Whether your Seaford structure 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 chimneys that we repair are the same chimney caps that were installed when the chimney was initially built. The next factor that we would watch the bricks that are above the chimney cap need to be repaired. Last – but not least – almost every fireplace’s crown needs to be tested for cracks, damage or breaks at least once a month.

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

Dwelling products can simply develop breakage over time. Mold growth – which is frequently in dark, undrafted and damp areas are optimal for growing and harboring detrimental mold. Because leakage happens below the roof and out of sight, property owners may not become aware of possible damage until a major safety and property risk occurs. We suggest you call Expressway to maintain your roof and chimney soon.
