Chimney Flashing For Mastic

NEW CHIMNEY FLASHING FOR MASTIC, LONG ISLAND

Styles Of Chimney Flashing

Chimney flashing cushions the places around the chimney from leaking water where the roof meets the chimney. 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 harmful, it loses it imperviousness and resistance to water and starts a host of other issues. Chimney flashings are generally made of thin copper, galvanized steel or aluminum sheets that are most commonly mounted beneath the roof’s shingles. Replacing the chimney flashing (or flashing sealants) from time to time might go a long way in water tightening the roof and defending your Mastic residence.

Chimney flashing’s purpose is to prevent rain water and melting snow. Flashing has two layers: “step flashing” and “counter flashing.” Counter flashing protects the top ridge gap of the L-flashing and is secured by embedding it into the chimney masonry. Expressway provides flashing inspections, preventative maintenance and chimney inspections to cushion your chimney as well as your roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration initiated by excessive water penetration.

New Chimney Flashing

Following a storm, walk around your residence 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 structure that begin to leak, call us immediately. Expressway’s highly-skilled chimney techs recommend you never let leaks go without address or repair for very long. Leaky roofs recurrently cause additional problems to other parts of your home – which can then include the growth of harmful mold and mildew… and that canthen cost you thousands more to remove. If you smell mold, shrinking, blistering or curling shingles, call an professional chimney flashing chimney company 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 Flashing Pro

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in Mastic) 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 selections of flashing material). Workers on a roof in Mastic might also inadvertently dislodge the flashing. If your chimney’s flashing is problematic, it can quickly become a major issue if forgetten about. 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

Some of the property’s chimneys in Mastic are over 50 years old or more and failing. Most of the time this could be fixed by cutting out the old metal flashing with an angle grinder and replacing it with new chimney flashing. Missing mortar joints also need to be repaired and or re-tuckpointed so that the water can pass the chimney flashing. Expressway’s team could visit the property and assess the integrity of your structure’s chimney system, identify whether the flashing needs to be fixed. If the chimney’s flashing is rusting and breaking away from your roof, our team might replace all of the flashing around the areas in question and help to keep the residence’s roof defended. Chimney damage typically begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline. Property materials just simply develop breakage over time. Mold growth – which is generally in dark, undrafted and damp areas are perfect for growing and harboring adverse mold. Because breakage happens below the roof and out of sight, clients might not become aware of the problem until a major safety and property risk occurs. We suggest you call Expressway to inspect your roof and chimney soon.
