CHIMNEY CAP REPAIRS FOR TOWN OF SOUTHAMPTON

What Damage Does A Chimney Cap Repair Fix?

A chimney cap repair is usually your Town Of Southampton dwelling’s first line of defense against water problems. A chimney cap is one of the most imperitive parts of a home’s healthy chimney. Most homeowners don’t give a lot of thought to their Town Of Southampton home’s (or business’s) chimney caps integrity. When roof or chimney cap repair becomes problematic, it loses it imperviousness and resistance to water and initiates a host of other leaks. The chimney cap caulking used to keep the chimney cap in place will slowly erode, making your roof prone to leaks. Replacing the chimney cap (or chimney cap sealants) from time to time will go a long way in water tightening the roof and preserving your Town Of Southampton property from water damage.

A chimney cap’s purpose is to stop rain water and melting snow from infiltrating your house. If water appears allowed to intrude into the property 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 secure the chimney as well as the roof and attic from the inevitable rust caused by excessive water infiltration.

Chimney Cap Damage To Inspect For

Following a storm, walk around your structure and test for water stains and in your house and ceilings using a flashlight – if possible. Water stains could indicate the start of your chimney leaking damage. Our professional chimney techs will find the source of the damage and reseal it ASAP. Leaky roofs almost always cause additional damage to other parts of your structure which can include the growth of dangerous mold and mildew… and that will then cost you 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?

How Does A Chimney Cap Become Obstructed?

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in Town Of Southampton) 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. Improperly-installed chimney caps or poor-quality cement or caulking used in the sealing process. Old age – i.e. many cold winters and hot summers. If the chimney’s cap looks problematic, it can quickly become a major leak if left omitted. With so much to gain from having properly installed or maintained chimney cap, it is important to ensure that your chimney cap is kept in efficient working order.

Some Signs The Chimney Needs A New Cap:

  • If the chimney cap is damaged
  • When your chimney cap looks rusted or rotted through
  • If the 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
  • the chimney seems to be leaking water into your structure.

Whether your Town Of Southampton 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 Breakages

Many of the chimneys that our pros repair are the same chimney caps that were installed when the chimney was initially built. The next component that our pros would watch the bricks that are above the chimney cap need to be addressed. Missing mortar joints also need to be addressed and or re-tuckpointed so that the water can harmlessly pass by the chimney cap.

Our team will visit your property and assess the integrity of the structure’s chimney system, identify whether your chimney cap needs to be addressed. If your chimney’s cap is rusting and breaking away from your roof, Expressway’s team will replace all of the areas around the places in question and help to keep the property’s roof cushioned. Expressway regularly replaces chimney caps that can no longer do its job in securing a home from penetrating water.

If there are undiscovered cracks or compromises in this masonry, the breakage can be faster and more pervasive. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other residence building materials can be really broken by regular water aggression. Mold is known to be dangerous to humans and pets – and – if water is eroding down into your home, the growth can be widespread and very expensive to remedy. We suggest you call Expressway to analyze your roof and chimney soon.
