CHIMNEY CAP REPAIRS FOR WATER MILL

What’s The Need For Chimney Cap Repairs?

A chimney cap repair is usually your Water Mill residence’s first line of defense against water breakage. A chimney cap is one of the most essential parts of a property’s healthy chimney. Most clients don’t give a lot of thought to their Water Mill home’s (or business’s) chimney caps integrity. Chimney cap repairs are necessary to impede your Water Mill structure from water leakage. Chimney cap repairs are usually made with cement or thin copper, galvanized steel or aluminum sheets that are generally mounted beneath the roof’s shingles. Chimney cap repair is your first line of defense from water penetration.

A chimney cap’s purpose is to avert rain water and melting snow from penetrating your structure. 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 the roof and attic from the inevitable corrosion caused by excessive water intrusion.

Checking For Chimney Cap Damage

Following a storm, walk around your residence and inspect for water stains and in your house and ceilings using a flashlight – if possible. If, when it starts to rain, you notice that there are areas in your residence that start to leak, call us immediately. Expressway’s professional chimney pros recommend you never let leaks go without reseal for very long. On your structure’s roof, do you see unhealthy mold, algae, mildew or fungus growth? If you notice risky mold, shrinking, blistering or curling shingles, call an expert chimney cap chimney company such as Expressway to check your structure’s roof and recommend an appropriate course of action before it’s too late.

Do I Need My Chimney Cap Repaired?

A variety of factors can harm the chimney cap and initiate the need for either a chimney cap repair or a chimney cap installation. 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 your chimney’s cap appears damaged, it can quickly become a major problem if left forgetten about. With so much to gain from having properly installed or maintained chimney cap, it’s always important to ensure that the chimney cap is kept in optimum working order.

Some Signs The Chimney Needs A New Cap:

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

Chimney cap repairs for your property should last about 20 years in Water Mill’s climate due to the amount of wear and tear caused by New York’s weather.

Recognizing An Issue Below The Surface

Many of the property’s chimneys in Water Mill are over 50 years old (or more) and failing. The next part that we would assess 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. Chimney inspection is a small maintenance task, but it’s one that you can’t afford to overlook. Chimney problems frequently begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline.

If there are undiscovered cracks or compromises in this masonry, the damage can be faster and more pervasive. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other home building materials can be heavily deteriorated by regular water penetration. Mold is known to be harmful to humans and pets – and – if water is infiltrating down into your dwelling, the growth can be widespread and very expensive to reseal. We suggest you call Expressway to check your roof and chimney soon.
