Chimney Flashing For Island Park

NEW CHIMNEY FLASHING FOR ISLAND PARK, LONG ISLAND

The Importance Of Chimney Flashing

Chimney flashing is your Island Park dwelling’s main line of defense against water infiltration. Chimney flashing is one of the most overlooked spots in the prolongation of a residence. Chimney flashing is rarely seen – or even noticed – until something goes bad with it. Roof flashing is installed to hamper your Island Park residence from water leakage and is often laid down around vents, chimneys and skylights. Roof flashings are generally made of thin copper, galvanized steel or aluminum sheets that are frequently mounted beneath the roof’s shingles. Warped or missing flashing will lead to a serious water leak and severe damage to your Island Park residence 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.” L-shaped step flashing is also laid down and tightly sealed with caulk. If water is allowed to flow down into your home through a gap initiated by damages or missing flashing, there should be major cause for concern.

Checking For Chimney Flashing Damage

Following a storm, walk around your home and inspect for water stains in your ceiling using a flashlight if possible. If, when it starts to rain, you notice that there are areas in your dwelling that begin to leak, call your local flashing experts immediately. Expressway’s professional chimney techs recommend you never let leaks go without address or repair for very long. Leaky roofs sometimes cause additional problems to other parts of your residence – which could then include the growth of unhealthy mold and mildew… and that mightthen cost you thousands more to fix. Are there shrinking, blistering or curling shingles? Is there any water leaking into the attic or into walls that you can see?

Do I Need My Chimney Flashing Looked At?

Several parts can harm your home’s flashing and start the need for either a flashing repair. Damage producers definitely include severe winds that may move the flashing material. Improperly installed flashing or bad caulking used in the sealing process. Old age – i.e. many extreme winters and harsh summers. Flashing that has deteriorated from the elements may eventually cause weakening to the roofing system, as the chimney flashing helps impede water harm from occurring to your roof deck and shingle system. With so much to gain from having precisely installed or maintained flashing, it’s always important to ensure that your flashing is kept in efficient working order.

Some Signs The Chimney could Need New Flashing:

  • your flashing is dislodged or missing
  • your flashing is rusted or rotted through
  • your flashing is now coming loose
  • your flashing is covered with roofing tar
  • You’re installing new roof shingles – or having other roofing service done
  • The chimney is leaking water into your home.

Spotting Damaged Chimney Flashing

Some of the dwelling’s chimneys in Island Park are over 50 years old or more and failing. The next component that we 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. Expressway’s team may visit your property and assess the integrity of the property’s chimney system, identify whether your flashing needs to be repaired. If your chimney’s flashing is rusting and breaking away from your roof, Expressway’s team may replace all of the flashing around the places in question and help to keep your property’s roof secured. Expressway regularly fixes chimney flashing that could no longer do its service in preserving a dwelling from penetrating water. House materials also simply develop damage over time. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other home building materials will be severely broken by regular water infiltration. Because damage happens below the roof and out of sight, clients might not become aware of possible damage until a major safety and property risk occurs. We suggest you call Expressway to inspect your roof and chimney soon.
