Chimney Repair Near Albertson

What’s The Importance Of Chimney Repairs?

A rooftop chimney is your Albertson home’s major line of integrity against water problems. A chimney is one of the most essential parts of a structure’s integrity. Chimney damage is almost never seen – or even noticed – until something goes wrong with it. Chimney repairs are necessary to stop your Albertson home from water problems. Chimney repairs are generally made with cement or thin metal (tin, steel or aluminum) that is usually mounted beneath your roof’s shingles. If water gets past your chimney cap, there is nothing left to stop it from penetrating the structure’s walls and ceilings.

A chimney cap’s purpose is to hamper rain water and melting snow from leaking your residence. A chimney repair is eventually made with concrete or metal – spread or screwed to fit securely around the top of the chimney. If water is allowed to flow down into the residence through a gap caused by leaking or missing chimney cap, there should be major cause for leaks. Expressway provides chimney assessments, preventative maintenance and chimney estimates to secure the chimney as well as the roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration caused by excessive water intrusion.

Checking For Chimney Complications

Even if your chimney looks good 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 spots in your structure that start to leak, call Expressway Roofing & Chimney immediately. Our professional chimney techs can find the source of the problem and repair it ASAP. On your home’s roof, do you see mold, algae, mildew or fungus growth? Are there shrinking, blistering or curling shingles? Is there any water penetrating into the attic or into walls that you can see?

Do I Need My Chimney Repaired Or Replaced?

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in Albertson) we get quite a bit of sun, wind, sleet, rain and snow every year. Harm producers definitely include powerful winds that can uplift the chimney material. Improperly installed chimneys or poor-quality cement or caulking used in the sealing process could be to blame. Workers on your home’s Albertson roof may also inadvertently harm or dislodge the chimney. A chimney that has deteriorated from the elements will almost always cause more damage to the roofing system, as your chimney repair helps mitigrate water leakage from occurring to the roof deck and shingle system. With so much to gain from having properly installed or maintained chimney, it is important to ensure that your chimney is kept in excellent working order.

Whether you have a chimney or fireplace that is erected with masonry stone or brick – you’ll have to test the chimney for leaks.

Chimney Assessments

A lot of the structure’s chimneys in Albertson are over 50 years old or more and failing. Most of the time this could be repaired by cutting out the old harmed metal or brick chimney with an angle grinder and replacing the broken pieces with new brick or metal. Last – but not least – almost every fireplace needs to be checked for cracks at least once a month. Chimney cracks are one of the main reasons that chimney might leak past the chimney cap or crown. If your chimney’s is rusting and breaking away from the roof, Expressway’s team will replace all of the areas around the spots in question and help to keep your residence’s roof secured. Expressway regularly replaces chimneys that may no longer do its job in protecting a residence from penetrating water. Chimney leakage usually begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline. Home materials also simply just develop damage over time. Mold growth – which is usually in dark, undrafted and damp areas are perfect for growing and harboring mold. Mold is known to be risky to humans and pets and if water is eroding down into your property, the growth can be widespread and very expensive to remedy. We suggest you call Expressway to inspect your roof and chimney soon.
