Arrays Of Chimney Flashing

Chimney flashing is your Laurel Hollow home’s main line of integrity against water harm. Chimney flashing is one of the most neglected places in the conservation of a structure. Most customers don’t give a lot of thought to their Laurel Hollow home’s (or business’s) chimney flashing. Roof flashing is installed to forestall your Laurel Hollow property from water damage and is normally laid down around vents, chimneys and skylights. Chimney flashings are generally made of thin copper, galvanized steel or aluminum sheets that are usually mounted beneath your roof’s shingles. Chimney flashing is your last line of defense from water damage.

Chimney flashing’s purpose is to hamper 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. When installed exactly, chimney flashing may serve you well for many years.

Following a storm, walk around your structure 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 residence that start to leak, call Expressway Roofing & Chimney immediately. Our expert flashing techs may find the source of the problem and fix it ASAP. On your residence’s roof, do you see dangerous mold, algae, mildew or fungus growth? Are there shrinking, blistering or curling shingles? Is there any water leaking into the attic or into walls that you will see?

How Does Flashing Become Damaged?

A variety of elements might harm your home’s flashing and begin the need for either a flashing repair. Squirrels, raccoons and other animals that enjoy chewing on the flashing. Imprecisely installed flashing or bad caulking used in the sealing process. Workers on the roof in Laurel Hollow could also inadvertently damage the flashing. Flashing that has deteriorated from the elements can eventually cause damage to your roofing system, as your chimney flashing helps stall water harm from occurring to the roof deck and shingle system. With so much to gain from having properly installed or maintained flashing, it is important to ensure that the flashing is kept in fine working order.

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

Spotting Damaged Chimney Flashing

Many of the structure’s chimneys in Laurel Hollow 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 renovated Missing mortar joints also need to be repaired and or re-tuckpointed so that the water might pass the chimney flashing. Chimney crown cracks are one of the major reasons that chimney will leak past the chimney flashing. If your chimney’s flashing is rusting and breaking away from the roof, Expressway’s team could replace all of the flashing around the areas in question and help to keep your structure’s roof preserved. Chimney problems frequently begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline. Property materials just simply develop harm over time. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other dwelling building materials can be severely deteriorated by regular water intrusion. Because leakage happens below the roof and out of sight, homeowners could 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.
