NEW CHIMNEY FLASHING FOR MONTAUK, LONG ISLAND

Selections Of Chimney Flashing

Chimney flashing is your Montauk property’s first line of defense against water infiltration. Chimney flashing is one of the most neglected places in the upkeep of a property. Chimney flashing is rarely seen – or even noticed – until something goes wrong with it. When roof or chimney flashing becomes broken, it loses it imperviousness and resistance to water and starts a host of other weakening. Chimney flashings are generally made of thin copper, galvanized steel or aluminum sheets that are typically mounted beneath your roof’s shingles. If water gets past your chimney flashing, there is nothing left to stop it from infiltrating the structure’s walls and ceilings.

There are 3 types of chimney flashing. ‘Step flashing’ – which diverts water from the roof away from the chimney. ‘Counter flashing’ – which is installed around a chimney to forestall water from leaking into the home. And ‘cricket flashing’ – which prevents water’s nature to pond on the roof. L-shaped step flashing is also laid down and tightly sealed with caulk. When installed exactly, 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 structure that start to leak, call us immediately. Expressway’s highly-skilled chimney techs recommend you never let leaks go without address or repair for very long. On your dwelling’s roof, do you see threatening mold, algae, mildew or fungus growth? If you observe mold, shrinking, blistering or curling shingles, reach an highly-skilled chimney flashing chimney company such as Expressway to inspect your home’s chimney and roof and recommend an appropriate course of action before it’s too late.

Do I Need My Chimney Flashing Replaced?

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in Montauk) 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. Inexactly installed flashing or defective caulking used in the sealing process. Old age – i.e. many bad winters and bad summers. If your chimney’s flashing is broken, it might quickly become a major issue if passed over. 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 take care of the chimney flashing so that it won’t leak.

Chimney Flashing Inspections

A lot of the structure’s chimneys in Montauk are over 50 years old or more and failing. The next thing that our chimney experts would look for is if the bricks that are above the chimney flashing need to be fixed Last – but not least – almost every fireplace crown needs to be tested for cracks at least once a month. Our team could visit your property and assess the integrity of your property’s chimney system, identify whether the flashing needs to be repaired. If your chimney’s flashing is rusting and breaking away from the roof, our team could replace all of the flashing around the sections in question and help to keep the structure’s roof defended. Expressway regularly repairs chimney flashing that may no longer do its service in preserving a home from aggressive water. If there are undiscovered cracks or compromises in this masonry, the damage could be faster and more pervasive. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other dwelling building materials could be severely deteriorated by regular water intrusion. Because leakage 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.
