What Chimney Flashing Does

Chimney flashing is your Town Of North Hempstead property’s first line of integrity against water leakage. 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 Town Of North Hempstead home’s (or business’s) chimney flashing. When roof or chimney flashing becomes problematic, it loses it imperviousness and resistance to water and begins a host of other problems. The chimney flashing or caulking used to keep your flashing in place could slowly erode, making your roof susceptible to leaks.Chimney flashing is your last line of integrity from water damage.

Chimney flashing’s purpose is to stall 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. If water is allowed to flow down into your property through a gap initiated by damages or missing flashing, there should be major cause for leaks.

New Chimney Flashing

Following a storm, walk around your home 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 begin to leak, call Expressway Roofing & Chimney immediately. Expressway’s professional chimney techs recommend you never let leaks go without address or repair for very long. On your home’s roof, do you see noxious mold, algae, mildew or fungus growth? If you notice mold, shrinking, blistering or curling shingles, call an highly-skilled chimney flashing company such as Expressway to inspect your structure’s chimney and roof and recommend an appropriate course of action before it’s too late.

How Does Flashing Become Damaged?

Multiple issues can harm your home’s flashing and start the need for either a flashing repair. Leakage producers definitely include extreme winds that might displace the flashing material. Improperly installed flashing or defective caulking used in the sealing process. Old age – i.e. many harsh winters and turbulent summers. If the chimney’s flashing is problematic, it might quickly become a major issue if passed over. With so much to gain from having correctly installed or maintained flashing, it’s important to ensure that the flashing is kept in excellent working order.

Whether you have a fireplace that is built with masonry stone or brick you’ll have to protect the chimney flashing so that it won’t leak.

Chimney Flashing Inspections

Many of the property’s chimneys in Town Of North Hempstead are over 50 years old or more and failing. Most of the time this may 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 may pass the chimney flashing. Chimney crown cracks are one of the leading 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 slight. Chimney damage usually begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline. Property materials are known to simply develop damage over time. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other property building materials may be severely damaged by regular water invasion. Because damage happens below the roof and out of sight, customers will 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.
