Chimney Flashing For North Hills

NEW CHIMNEY FLASHING FOR NORTH HILLS, LONG ISLAND

The Importance Of Chimney Flashing

Chimney flashing is your North Hills residence’s main line of protection against water harm. Chimney flashing is one of the most pertinent parts of a home’s chimney. Chimney flashing is rarely seen – or even noticed – until something goes awry with it. Roof flashing is installed to stall your North Hills structure from water problems and is often placed around vents, chimneys and skylights. Roof 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 stall rain water and melting snow. Flashing has two layers: “step flashing” and “counter flashing.” Chimney flashing is made typically from sheet metal strips that are designed to fit securely around the base of your chimney where it intersects with the roof. Expressway provides flashing inspections, preventative maintenance and chimney inspections to defend your chimney as well as your roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration started by excessive water intrusion.

New Chimney Flashing

Following a storm, walk around your dwelling 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 home that start to leak, call us immediately. Expressway’s expert chimney techs recommend you never let leaks go without address or repair for very long. On your structure’s roof, do you see risky mold, algae, mildew or fungus growth? If you observe mold, shrinking, blistering or curling shingles, contact 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 Professional

Several elements might harm the flashing and begin the need for either a flashing installation. Squirrels, raccoons and other animals that enjoy chewing on the flashing. Inexactly installed flashing or poor-quality caulking used in the sealing process. Workers on your home’s roof in North Hills might also inadvertently damage the flashing. If your chimney’s flashing is harmed, it will quickly become a major issue if forgetten about. With so much to gain from having properly installed or maintained flashing, it is important to ensure that the flashing is kept in optimum working order.

Some Signs The Chimney might Need New Flashing:

  • your flashing is dislodged or missing
  • your flashing is rusted or rotted through
  • your flashing is now coming free
  • 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 dwelling.

Chimney Flashing Problems

Some of the home’s chimneys in North Hills are over 50 years old or more and failing. The next thing that our technicians would look for is if the bricks that are above the chimney flashing need to be fixed Missing mortar joints also need to be repaired and or re-tuckpointed so that the water could pass the chimney flashing. Our team may visit the property and assess the integrity of your residence’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 might replace all of the flashing around the spots in question and help to keep the structure’s roof protected. Chimney problems usually begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline. Dwelling materials can simply develop problems over time. Mold growth – which is typically in dark, undrafted and damp spots are perfect for growing and harboring dangerous mold. Because breakage happens below the roof and out of sight, property owners might not become aware of any danger until a major safety and property risk occurs. We suggest you call Expressway to inspect your roof and chimney soon.
