Chimney Flashing For Silver Beach

NEW CHIMNEY FLASHING FOR SILVER BEACH, LONG ISLAND

Arrays Of Chimney Flashing

Chimney flashing is your Silver Beach dwelling’s first line of defense against water leakage. Chimney flashing is one of the most neglected places in the preservation of a structure. Chimney flashing is rarely seen – or even noticed – until something goes bad with it. Roof flashing is installed to forestall your Silver Beach property from water damage and is often installed around vents, chimneys and skylights. Chimney flashings are generally made of thin copper, galvanized steel or aluminum sheets that are typically mounted beneath your roof’s shingles. Warped or missing flashing could lead to a serious water leak and severe damage to your Silver Beach residence and parts of the chimney.

There are 3 selections of chimney flashing. ‘Step flashing’ – which diverts water from the roof away from the chimney. ‘Counter flashing’ – which is installed around a chimney to hamper water from leaking into the property. And ‘cricket flashing’ – which hampers water’s nature to pond on your roof. Counter flashing protects the top ridge gap of the L-flashing and is secured by embedding it into the chimney masonry. When installed properly, chimney flashing will serve you well for many years.

Chimney Flashing Issues To Look For

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 professional flashing techs may find the source of the problem and fix it ASAP. Leaky roofs many a time cause additional damage to other parts of your structure – which can then include the growth of noxious mold and mildew… and that mightthen cost the owner thousands more to fix. If you notice mold, shrinking, blistering or curling shingles, reach an professional chimney flashing chimney contractor such as Expressway to look at your dwelling’s chimney and roof and recommend an appropriate course of action before it’s too late.

Do I Need My Chimney Flashing Looked At?

Multiple factors will harm your home’s flashing and cause the need for either a flashing installation. Squirrels, raccoons and other animals that enjoy chewing on the flashing. Imprecisely installed flashing or awry caulking used in the sealing process. Old age – i.e. many harsh winters and severe summers. If the chimney’s flashing is leaky, it may quickly become a major issue if ignored. With so much to gain from having correctly installed or maintained flashing, it’s always important to ensure that your flashing is kept in efficient working order.

Some Signs The Chimney might Need New Flashing:

  • your flashing is dislodged or missing
  • your flashing is rusted or rotted through
  • the flashing is now coming loose
  • the 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.

Spotting Damaged Chimney Flashing

Many of the property’s chimneys in Silver Beach are over 50 years old or more and failing. The next component that our chimney experts would look for is if the bricks that are above the chimney flashing need to be addressed Last – but not least – almost every fireplace crown needs to be analyzed for cracks at least once a month. Chimney crown cracks are one of the prominent reasons that chimney may leak past the chimney flashing. Chimney inspection is a small maintenance task, but it’s one that you can’t afford to brush off. Chimney harm typically begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline. If there are undiscovered cracks or compromises in this masonry, the damage will be faster and more pervasive. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other structure building materials will be severely damaged by regular water intrusion. Mold is known to be threatening to humans and pets and if water is penetrating down into your dwelling, the growth could be widespread and very costly to remedy. We suggest you call Expressway to inspect your roof and chimney soon.
