NEW CHIMNEY FLASHING FOR BOHEMIA, LONG ISLAND

What Chimney Flashing Does

Chimney flashing is your Bohemia structure’s first line of integrity against water breakage. Chimney flashing is one of the most essential parts of a home’s chimney. Chimney flashing is rarely seen – or even noticed – until something goes bad with it. Roof flashing is installed to impede your Bohemia property from water problems and is normally placed around vents, chimneys and skylights. The chimney flashing or caulking used to keep the flashing in place can slowly erode, making the roof wide open to leaks.Chimney flashing is your last line of protection from water damage.

Chimney flashing’s purpose is to hamper rain water and melting snow. Flashing has two layers: “step flashing” and “counter flashing.” Counter flashing surrounds the top ridge gap of the L-flashing and is secured by embedding it into the chimney masonry. When installed correctly, chimney flashing may serve you well for many years.

Chimney Flashing Issues To Look For

Following a storm, walk around your dwelling and inspect for water stains in your ceiling using a flashlight if possible. Water stains could indicate the start of a leaking problem. Our expert flashing techs may find the source of the problem and fix it ASAP. Leaky roofs many a time cause additional damage to other parts of your dwelling – which could then include the growth of unhealthy mold and mildew… and that couldthen cost you thousands more to address. Are there shrinking, blistering or curling shingles? Is there any water infiltrating into the attic or into walls that you could see?

Leave The Flashing Repairs To A Highly-skilled Pro

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in Bohemia) we get quite a bit of sun, wind, sleet, rain and snow every year. Squirrels, raccoons and other animals that enjoy chewing on the flashing. Incorrectly installed flashing or poor-quality caulking used in the sealing process. Old age – i.e. many turbulent winters and bad summers. If the chimney’s flashing is damaged, it might quickly become a major issue if passed over. With so much to gain from having precisely installed or maintained flashing, it is important to ensure that the flashing is kept in prime working order.

Whether you have a fireplace that is built with masonry stone or brick you’ll have to sustain the chimney flashing so that it won’t leak.

Chimney Flashing Inspections

A lot of the chimneys flashing that our technicians repair is the same chimney flashing that was installed when the chimney was originally built. The next part that our technicians would look for is if the bricks that are above the chimney flashing need to be addressed Missing mortar joints also need to be repaired and or re-tuckpointed so that the water can pass the chimney flashing. Chimney crown cracks are one of the main reasons that chimney will leak past the chimney flashing. If the chimney’s flashing is rusting and breaking away from your roof, Expressway’s team may replace all of the flashing around the areas in question and help to keep the dwelling’s roof cushioned. Chimney leakage frequently begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline. If there are undiscovered cracks or compromises in this masonry, the breakage may be faster and more pervasive. Mold growth – which is generally in dark, undrafted and damp places are perfect for growing and harboring risky mold. Because leakage happens below the roof and out of sight, property owners may not become aware of a leak until a major safety and property risk occurs. We suggest you call Expressway to inspect your roof and chimney soon.
