Chimney Flashing For North Baldwin

NEW CHIMNEY FLASHING FOR NORTH BALDWIN, LONG ISLAND

Arrays Of Chimney Flashing

Chimney flashing defends the spots around the chimney from leaking water where the roof abuts the chimney. Chimney flashing is one of the most forgotten places in the upkeep of a residence. Chimney flashing is rarely seen – or even noticed – until something goes wrong with it. Roof flashing is installed to impede your North Baldwin home from water leakage and is often installed around vents, chimneys and skylights. The chimney flashing or caulking used to keep your flashing in place can slowly erode, making the roof prone to leaks. Warped or missing flashing will lead to a serious water leak and severe damage to your North Baldwin residence and parts of the chimney.

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 avert water from leaking into the structure. And ‘cricket flashing’ – which stops water’s nature to pond on the roof. 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 protect the chimney as well as the roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration started by excessive water aggression.

New Chimney Flashing

Following a storm, walk around your residence and inspect for water stains in your ceiling using a flashlight if possible. Water stains could indicate the start of a leaking problem. Our expert flashing techs will find the source of the problem and fix it ASAP. Leaky roofs often cause additional damage to other parts of your residence – which might then include the growth of unhealthy mold and mildew… and that maythen cost the owner thousands more to remove. Are there shrinking, blistering or curling shingles? Is there any water leaking into the attic or into walls that you may see?

Do I Need My Chimney Flashing Assessed?

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in North Baldwin) we get quite a bit of sun, wind, sleet, rain and snow every year. Damage producers definitely include severe winds that could uplift the flashing material. Rust issues (which are common with certain layouts of flashing material). Workers on your home’s roof in North Baldwin will also inadvertently dislodge the flashing. Flashing that has deteriorated from the elements may eventually cause problems to the roofing system, as the chimney flashing helps prevent water problems from occurring to your 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 excellent working order.

Chimney flashing should last about 20 years in North Baldwin’s crazy climate due to the amount of wear and tear caused by North Baldwin’s weather patterns.

Chimney Flashing Inspections

Some of the chimneys flashing that our pros repair is the same chimney flashing that was installed when the chimney was first built. The next element that our chimney experts would look for is if the bricks that are above the chimney flashing need to be repaired Last – but not least – almost every fireplace crown needs to be inspected for cracks at least once a month. Chimney crown cracks are one of the major reasons that chimney will leak past the chimney flashing. Chimney inspection is a small maintenance task, but it’s one that you can’t afford to evade. Expressway regularly fixes chimney flashing that will no longer do its service in defending a home from penetrating water. If there are undiscovered cracks or compromises in this masonry, the harm could be faster and more pervasive. Mold growth – which is most commonly in dark, undrafted and damp sections are perfect for growing and harboring harmful mold. Mold is known to be threatening to humans and pets and if water is damaging down into your residence, the growth might be widespread and very costly to remedy. We suggest you call Expressway to inspect your roof and chimney soon.
