Chimney Flashing For Searingtown

NEW CHIMNEY FLASHING FOR SEARINGTOWN, LONG ISLAND

The Importance Of Chimney Flashing

Chimney flashing secures the areas around the chimney from leaking water where the roof abuts the chimney. Chimney flashing is one of the most imperitive parts of a home’s chimney. Chimney flashing is rarely seen – or even noticed – until something goes awry with it. When roof or chimney flashing becomes leaky, it loses it imperviousness and resistance to water and initiates a host of other problems. The chimney flashing or caulking used to keep your flashing in place can slowly erode, making your roof sensitive to leaks.Chimney flashing is the last line of integrity from water damage.

Chimney flashing’s purpose is to prevent rain water and melting snow. Flashing has two layers: “step flashing” and “counter flashing.” L-shaped step flashing is also laid down and tightly sealed with caulk. When installed exactly, chimney flashing may 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 home that start to leak, call your local flashing experts immediately. Expressway’s expert chimney techs recommend you never let leaks go without address or repair for very long. Leaky roofs oftentimes cause additional damage to other parts of your structure – which may then include the growth of unhealthy mold and mildew… and that mightthen cost the owner thousands more to remove. If you see mold, shrinking, blistering or curling shingles, contact an professional chimney flashing chimney contractor such as Expressway to look at your home’s chimney and roof and recommend an appropriate course of action before it’s too late.

Leave The Flashing Repairs To A Flashing Pro

Several factors may harm the flashing and initiate the need for either a flashing installation. Squirrels, raccoons and other animals that enjoy chewing on the flashing. Imprecisely installed flashing or poor caulking used in the sealing process. Old age – i.e. many harsh winters and extreme summers. Flashing that has deteriorated from the elements may eventually cause problems to the roofing system, as the chimney flashing helps avert water damages from occurring to your roof deck and shingle system. 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.

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

Chimney Flashing Problems

Some of the structure’s chimneys in Searingtown are over 50 years old or more and failing. The next component that our technicians would look for is if the bricks that are above the chimney flashing need to be renovated Missing mortar joints also need to be repaired and or re-tuckpointed so that the water might pass the chimney flashing. Chimney crown cracks are one of the principal reasons that chimney could leak past the chimney flashing. Chimney inspection is a small maintenance task, but it’s one that you can’t afford to pass over. Chimney harm most commonly begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline. If there are undiscovered cracks or compromises in this masonry, the harm can be faster and more pervasive. Mold growth – which is most commonly in dark, undrafted and damp areas are perfect for growing and harboring risky mold. Because harm happens below the roof and out of sight, clients may 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.
