Chimney Flashing For Town Of Easthampton

NEW CHIMNEY FLASHING FOR TOWN OF EASTHAMPTON, LONG ISLAND

What Chimney Flashing Does

Chimney flashing cushions the places around the chimney from leaking water where the roof meets the chimney. Chimney flashing is one of the most pertinent parts of a dwelling’s chimney. Most clients don’t give a lot of thought to their Town Of Easthampton 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 damage. The chimney flashing or caulking used to keep the flashing in place may slowly erode, making your roof susceptible to leaks.Chimney flashing is your last line of defense from water damage.

There are 3 layouts of chimney flashing. ‘Step flashing’ – which diverts water from the roof away from the chimney. ‘Counter flashing’ – which is installed around a chimney to impede water from leaking into the home. And ‘cricket flashing’ – which prevents water’s nature to pond on the roof. 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. If water is allowed to flow down into the home through a gap started by broken or missing flashing, there should be major cause for damage.

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 can go unnoticed to a novice eye. Water stains could indicate the start of a leaking problem. Expressway’s highly-skilled chimney techs recommend you never let leaks go without address or repair for very long. Leaky roofs generally cause additional issues to other parts of your dwelling – which will then include the growth of unhealthy mold and mildew… and that couldthen cost you thousands more to address. If you observe mold, shrinking, blistering or curling shingles, contact an fully-trained chimney flashing chimney company such as Expressway to assess your home’s chimney and roof and recommend an appropriate course of action before it’s too late.

How Does Flashing Become Concerning?

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in Town Of Easthampton) we get quite a bit of sun, wind, sleet, rain and snow every year. Squirrels, raccoons and other animals that enjoy chewing on the flashing. Rust issues (which are common with certain arrays of flashing material). Workers on your home’s roof in Town Of Easthampton will also inadvertently harm the flashing. Flashing that has deteriorated from the elements might eventually cause weakening to the roofing system, as your chimney flashing helps prevent water damages from occurring to your roof deck and shingle system. With so much to gain from having precisely installed or maintained flashing, it’s always important to ensure that the flashing is kept in good working order.

Some Signs The Chimney may Need New Flashing:

  • your flashing is dislodged or missing
  • your flashing is rusted or rotted through
  • your flashing is now coming free
  • the flashing is covered with roofing tar
  • You’re installing new roof shingles – or having other roofing jobs done
  • The chimney is leaking water into your structure.

Chimney Flashing Problems

A lot of the property’s chimneys in Town Of Easthampton are over 50 years old or more and failing. Most of the time this can be fixed by cutting out the old metal flashing with an angle grinder and replacing it with new chimney flashing. Missing mortar joints also need to be repaired and or re-tuckpointed so that the water can pass the chimney flashing. Our team could visit your property and assess the integrity of the structure’s chimney system, identify whether the flashing needs to be fixed. Chimney inspection is a small maintenance task, but it’s one that you can’t afford to neglect. Chimney harm often begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline. Structural materials are known to simply develop leakage over time. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other property building materials will be severely harmed by regular water infiltration. Mold is known to be harmful to humans and pets and if water is infiltrating down into your structure, the growth can be widespread and very costly to remedy. We suggest you call Expressway to inspect your roof and chimney soon.
