Layouts Of Chimney Flashing

Chimney flashing is your Oceanside structure’s first line of integrity against water problems. Chimney flashing is one of the most important parts of a structure’s chimney. Most customers don’t give a lot of thought to their Oceanside home’s (or business’s) chimney flashing. When roof or chimney flashing becomes broken, it loses it imperviousness and resistance to water and causes a host of other issues. Roof flashings are generally made of thin copper, galvanized steel or aluminum sheets that are generally mounted beneath your roof’s shingles. Warped or missing flashing could lead to a serious water leak and severe problems to your Oceanside property and parts of the chimney.

Chimney flashing’s purpose is to forestall 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 made to to fit securely around the base of your chimney where it intersects with the roof. If water is allowed to flow down into your structure through a gap started by broken or missing flashing, there should be major cause for alarm.

Chimney Flashing Issues To Look For

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 your local flashing experts immediately. Our trained flashing techs could find the source of the problem and fix it ASAP. On your home’s roof, do you see harmful mold, algae, mildew or fungus growth? If you observe mold, shrinking, blistering or curling shingles, contact an highly-skilled chimney flashing chimney contractor 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 Fully-trained Professional

Nuerous factors could harm the flashing and begin the need for either a flashing installation. Damage producers definitely include crazy winds that could move the flashing material. Improperly installed flashing or poor-quality caulking used in the sealing process. Old age – i.e. many crazy winters and inclement summers. If your chimney’s flashing is harmed, it will quickly become a major issue if passed over. With so much to gain from having properly installed or maintained flashing, it’s always important to ensure that your flashing is kept in excellent working order.

Chimney flashing should last about 20 years in Oceanside’s harsh climate due to the amount of wear and tear begun by New York’s weather patterns.

Chimney Flashing Inspections

Some of the chimneys flashing that our technicians repair is the same chimney flashing that was installed when the chimney was first built. The next element that we would look for is if the bricks that are above the chimney flashing need to be addressed Missing mortar joints also need to be repaired and or re-tuckpointed so that the water may pass the chimney flashing. Chimney crown cracks are one of the major reasons that chimney might leak past the chimney flashing. If your chimney’s flashing is rusting and breaking away from the roof, our team might replace all of the flashing around the areas in question and help to keep the structure’s roof preserved. Expressway regularly fixes chimney flashing that will no longer do its job in preserving a home from aggressive water. If there are undiscovered cracks or compromises in this masonry, the harm will be faster and more pervasive. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other home building materials may be severely harmed by regular water seepage. Because breakage happens below the roof and out of sight, property owners 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.
