Chimney Flashing For Deer Park

NEW CHIMNEY FLASHING FOR DEER PARK, LONG ISLAND

The Importance Of Chimney Flashing

Chimney flashing is your Deer Park home’s first line of defense against water damage. Chimney flashing is one of the most important parts of a dwelling’s chimney. Chimney flashing is rarely seen – or even noticed – until something goes bad with it. When roof or chimney flashing becomes problematic, it loses it imperviousness and resistance to water and begins a host of other damage. The chimney flashing or caulking used to keep the flashing in place will slowly erode, making your roof vulnerable to leaks. Warped or missing flashing might lead to a serious water leak and severe problems to your Deer Park home and parts of the chimney.

Chimney flashing’s purpose is to avert rain water and melting snow. Flashing has two layers: “step flashing” and “counter flashing.” Chimney flashing is made typically from sheet metal strips that are fashioned to fit securely around the base of your chimney where it intersects with the roof. When installed precisely, chimney flashing may serve you well for many years.

Checking For Chimney Flashing Damage

Even if your roof looks 100% fine after a heavy rain or snow storm, there could still be underlying damage that might go unnoticed to a novice eye. If, when it starts to rain, you notice that there are areas in your home that start to leak, call your local flashing experts immediately. Our highly-skilled flashing techs can find the source of the problem and fix it ASAP. Leaky roofs sometimes cause additional issues to other parts of your structure – which may then include the growth of toxic mold and mildew… and that couldthen cost you thousands more to address. If you observe mold, shrinking, blistering or curling shingles, call an highly-skilled chimney flashing company such as Expressway to assess your residence’s chimney and roof and recommend an appropriate course of action before it’s too late.

Leave The Flashing Repairs To A Highly-skilled Pro

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in Deer Park) 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. Rust issues (which are common with certain designs of flashing material). Old age – i.e. many severe winters and severe summers. If your chimney’s flashing is problematic, it will quickly become a major issue if forgetten about. With so much to gain from having correctly 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 take care of the chimney flashing so that it won’t leak.

Spotting Damaged Chimney Flashing

Many of the home’s chimneys in Deer Park are over 50 years old or more and failing. The next component that our pros would look for is if the bricks that are above the chimney flashing need to be renovated Last – but not least – almost every fireplace crown needs to be tested for cracks at least once a month. Chimney crown cracks are one of the preeminent reasons that chimney can leak past the chimney flashing. Chimney inspection is a small maintenance task, but it’s one that you can’t afford to evade. Expressway regularly fixes chimney flashing that could no longer do its service in securing a property from eroding water. Residence materials can simply develop damage over time. Mold growth – which is usually in dark, undrafted and damp sections are perfect for growing and harboring unhealthy mold. Because damage happens below the roof and out of sight, homeowners might 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.
