Chimney Repair Near Bay Shore

What Does A Chimney Repair Fix?

Chimneys secure the area atop the chimney from water leaking where the roof joins the chimney. A chimney is one of the most essential parts of a structure’s integrity. Most customers don’t give a lot of thought to their Bay Shore home’s (or business’s) chimney. Chimney repairs are essential to stall your Bay Shore dwelling from water penetration. Chimney fixes are typically made with cement or thin metal (tin, steel or aluminum) that is generally mounted beneath your roof’s shingles. Replacing your chimney (or chimney sealants) from time to time can go a long way in water tightening your roof and securing your Bay Shore property from water damage.

A chimney repair is most commonly made with concrete or metal – spread or screwed to fit securely around the top of the chimney. When installed exactly, proper chimney fixes could serve you for many years. Expressway provides chimney services, preventative maintenance and chimney inspections to preserve your chimney as well as your roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration caused by excessive water penetration.

Chimney Issues To Look Out For

Following a storm, walk around your home and check for water stains and in your house and ceilings using a flashlight – if possible. Water stains could indicate the start of a chimney leaking problem. Expressway’s trained chimney and roofing technicians recommend you never let leaks go without a repair for very long. Leaky roofs always cause additional damage to other parts of your home – which can include the growth of toxic mold and mildew – and that could usually cost you thousands more to address. If you notice noxious mold, shrinking, blistering or curling shingles, call an professional chimney company such as Expressway to test your home’s roof and recommend an appropriate road of action before it’s too late.

Need Help Repairing Your Chimney?

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in Bay Shore) we get quite a bit of sun, wind, sleet, rain and snow every year. Leakage producers definitely include powerful winds that can displace the chimney materials. Improperly installed chimneys or poor-quality cement or caulking materials used in the sealing process could be to blame. Old age – i.e. many storms, cold winters and hot summers may also reduce your chimney’s lifespan. A chimney that has deteriorated from the elements will eventually cause problems to the roofing system, as the chimney fix helps impede water problems from occurring to the roof deck and shingle layout. With so much to gain from having properly installed or maintained chimney, it’s important to ensure that the chimney is kept in optimum working order.

Chimney repairs should last about 20 years in Bay Shore’s climate – but can fluctuate due to the amount of wear and tear caused by Bay Shore’s climate, storms and other weather patterns.

Chimney Tests

Many of the chimneys that our pros repair are the same chimneys that were installed when the chimney was initially built. The next element that our pros would look for is if the bricks that are above the chimney need to be corrected Last – but not least – almost every fireplace needs to be analyzed for cracks at least once a month. Expressway’s team may visit your property and assess the integrity of your property’s chimney system, identify whether the chimney needs to be addressed. If your chimney’s is rusting and breaking away from the roof, Expressway’s team will replace all of the areas around the areas in question and help to keep your residence’s roof preserved. Expressway regularly repairs chimneys that can no longer do its job in protecting a dwelling from aggressive water. Structural and roof products also simply just develop breakage over time. Mold growth – which is generally in dark, undrafted and damp sections are perfect for growing and harboring mold. Because damage happens below the roof and out of sight, homeowners could not become aware of the problem until a major safety and property risk occurs. We suggest you call Expressway to check your roof and chimney soon.
