Chimney Flashing For Roosevelt

NEW CHIMNEY FLASHING FOR ROOSEVELT, LONG ISLAND

What Chimney Flashing Does

Chimney flashing is your Roosevelt dwelling’s first line of protection against water infiltration. Chimney flashing is one of the most essential parts of a structure’s chimney. Chimney flashing is rarely seen – or even noticed – until something goes bad with it. When roof or chimney flashing becomes damaged, it loses it imperviousness and resistance to water and begins a host of other damage. Chimney flashings are generally made of thin copper, galvanized steel or aluminum sheets that are frequently mounted beneath your roof’s shingles. Replacing the chimney flashing (or flashing sealants) from time to time will go a long way in water tightening your roof and protecting your Roosevelt dwelling.

Chimney flashing’s purpose is to stall rain water and melting snow. Flashing has two layers: “step flashing” and “counter flashing.” Counter flashing overlaps 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 your chimney as well as the roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration started by excessive water infiltration.

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 leakage that could go unnoticed to a novice eye. Water stains could indicate the start of a leaking problem. Our professional flashing techs can find the source of the problem and fix it ASAP. On your residence’s roof, do you see detrimental mold, algae, mildew or fungus growth? Are there shrinking, blistering or curling shingles? Is there any water damaging into the attic or into walls that you will see?

Leave The Flashing Repairs To A Highly-skilled Pro

Several parts will harm the flashing and start the need for either a flashing repair. Squirrels, raccoons and other animals that enjoy chewing on the flashing. Incorrectly installed flashing or poor-quality caulking used in the sealing process. Workers on your home’s roof in Roosevelt could also inadvertently damage the flashing. If your chimney’s flashing is problematic, it may quickly become a major issue if slighted. With so much to gain from having properly installed or maintained flashing, it’s always important to ensure that your flashing is kept in efficient working order.

Chimney flashing should last about 20 years in Roosevelt’s severe climate due to the amount of wear and tear initiated by Roosevelt’s weather patterns.

Chimney Flashing Problems

A lot of the residence’s chimneys in Roosevelt are over 50 years old or more and failing. Most of the time this will be fixed by cutting out the old metal flashing with an angle grinder and replacing it with new chimney flashing. Last – but not least – almost every fireplace crown needs to be investigated for cracks at least once a month. Chimney crown cracks are one of the leading reasons that chimney might leak past the chimney flashing. If the chimney’s flashing is rusting and breaking away from the roof, our team may replace all of the flashing around the sections in question and help to keep the residence’s roof preserved. Expressway regularly fixes chimney flashing that will no longer do its service in cushioning a structure from damaging water. Residence materials can simply develop problems over time. Mold growth – which is most commonly in dark, undrafted and damp sections are perfect for growing and harboring risky mold. Because leakage happens below the roof and out of sight, homeowners may not become aware of possible damage until a major safety and property risk occurs. We suggest you call Expressway to inspect your roof and chimney soon.
