Chimney Cap Complications

Many of the chimneys that our technicians repair are the same chimney caps that were installed when the chimney was originally built. The next component that our technicians would inspect the bricks that are above the chimney cap need to be repaired. Last – but not least – almost every fireplace’s crown needs to be studied for cracks, leaks or breaks at least once a month.

Our team will visit your property and assess the integrity of your residence’s chimney system, identify whether the chimney cap needs to be addressed. Chimney inspection appears a small maintenance task, but it’s one that you can’t afford to overlook. Expressway regularly fixes chimney caps that can no longer do its job in cushioning a property from infiltrating water.

Residence items can simply develop problems over time. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other dwelling building products can be really deteriorated by regular water penetration.
