Layouts Of Chimney Flashing

Chimney flashing is your Hampton Bays dwelling’s main line of protection against water harm. Chimney flashing is one of the most pertinent parts of a property’s chimney. Chimney flashing is rarely seen – or even noticed – until something goes wrong with it. Roof flashing is installed to stop your Hampton Bays structure from water problems and is normally placed around vents, chimneys and skylights. Chimney flashings are generally made of thin copper, galvanized steel or aluminum sheets that are usually mounted beneath the roof’s shingles. Chimney flashing is the last line of protection from water damage.

There are 3 styles of chimney flashing. ‘Step flashing’ – which diverts water from the roof away from the chimney. ‘Counter flashing’ – which is installed around a chimney to prevent water from leaking into the home. And ‘cricket flashing’ – which stops water’s nature to pond on the roof. L-shaped step flashing is also laid down and tightly sealed with caulk. When installed precisely, chimney flashing can serve you well for many years.

Chimney Flashing Issues To Look For

Even if your roof looks 100% fine after a heavy rain or snow storm, there could still be underlying problems that will go unnoticed to a novice eye. If, when it starts to rain, you notice that there are areas in your residence that begin to leak, call Expressway Roofing & Chimney immediately. Expressway’s expert chimney techs recommend you never let leaks go without address or repair for very long. Leaky roofs oftentimes cause additional problems to other parts of your home – which may then include the growth of detrimental mold and mildew… and that maythen cost you thousands more to fix. If you observe mold, shrinking, blistering or curling shingles, call an highly-skilled chimney flashing chimney contractor such as Expressway to inspect your structure’s chimney and roof and recommend an appropriate course of action before it’s too late.

Leave The Flashing Repairs To A Dedicated Pro

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in Hampton Bays) we get quite a bit of sun, wind, sleet, rain and snow every year. Damage producers definitely include powerful winds that could displace the flashing material. Imprecisely installed flashing or poor-quality caulking used in the sealing process. Old age – i.e. many crazy winters and crazy summers. Flashing that has deteriorated from the elements will eventually cause leaks to your roofing system, as the chimney flashing helps hamper water problems from occurring to the roof deck and shingle system. With so much to gain from having properly installed or maintained flashing, it’s always important to ensure that the flashing is kept in fine working order.

Chimney flashing should last about 20 years in Hampton Bays’s extreme climate due to the amount of wear and tear caused by New York’s weather patterns.

Chimney Flashing Problems

Some of the property’s chimneys in Hampton Bays are over 50 years old or more and failing. The next element that our technicians would look for is if the bricks that are above the chimney flashing need to be corrected Last – but not least – almost every fireplace crown needs to be analyzed for cracks at least once a month. Expressway’s team can visit your property and assess the integrity of the property’s chimney system, identify whether your flashing needs to be resealed. Chimney inspection is a small maintenance task, but it’s one that you can’t afford to omit. Chimney problems generally begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline. If there are undiscovered cracks or compromises in this masonry, the damage will be faster and more pervasive. Mold growth – which is usually in dark, undrafted and damp spots are perfect for growing and harboring unhealthy mold. Mold is known to be unhealthy to humans and pets and if water is leaking down into your dwelling, the growth could be widespread and very expensive to remedy. We suggest you call Expressway to inspect your roof and chimney soon.
