Chimney Flashing For Town Of Riverhead

NEW CHIMNEY FLASHING FOR TOWN OF RIVERHEAD, LONG ISLAND

What Chimney Flashing Does

Chimney flashing defends the sections around the chimney from leaking water where the roof joins the chimney. Chimney flashing is one of the most neglected areas in the preservation of a residence. Chimney flashing is rarely seen – or even noticed – until something goes bad with it. Roof flashing is installed to prevent your Town Of Riverhead structure from water leakage and is oftentimes placed around vents, chimneys and skylights. Chimney flashings are generally made of thin copper, galvanized steel or aluminum sheets that are frequently mounted beneath the roof’s shingles. Replacing your chimney flashing (or flashing sealants) from time to time can go a long way in water tightening your roof and protecting your Town Of Riverhead dwelling.

Chimney flashing’s purpose is to hamper 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 will serve you well for many years.

New Chimney Flashing

Even if your roof looks 100% fine after a heavy rain or snow storm, there could still be underlying problems that could go unnoticed to a novice eye. If, when it starts to rain, you notice that there are areas in your residence that begin to leak, call us immediately. Expressway’s trained chimney techs recommend you never let leaks go without address or repair for very long. Leaky roofs over and over cause additional problems to other parts of your structure – which might then include the growth of adverse mold and mildew… and that maythen cost the owner thousands more to repair. If you notice mold, shrinking, blistering or curling shingles, call an expert 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 Concerning?

Nuerous elements might harm the flashing and start the need for either a flashing installation. Problem producers definitely include severe winds that may free the flashing material. Rust issues (which are common with certain selections of flashing material). Workers on a roof in Town Of Riverhead can also inadvertently harm the flashing. Flashing that has deteriorated from the elements might eventually cause leaks to your roofing system, as your chimney flashing helps impede water leakage from occurring to the roof deck and shingle system. With so much to gain from having properly installed or maintained flashing, it is important to ensure that your flashing is kept in prime working order.

Chimney flashing should last about 20 years in Town Of Riverhead’s crazy climate due to the amount of wear and tear initiated by our weather patterns.

Chimney Flashing Problems

A lot of the chimneys flashing that our chimney experts repair is the same chimney flashing that was installed when the chimney was originally built. 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. 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 prominent reasons that chimney might leak past the chimney flashing. Chimney inspection is a small maintenance task, but it’s one that you can’t afford to forget about. Expressway regularly addresses chimney flashing that can no longer do its job in preserving a residence from infiltrating water. If there are undiscovered cracks or compromises in this masonry, the damage can be faster and more pervasive. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other property building materials can be severely damaged by regular water aggression. Because harm happens below the roof and out of sight, homeowners might not become aware of a leak until a major safety and property risk occurs. We suggest you call Expressway to inspect your roof and chimney soon.
