What Does A Chimney Repair Fix?

Chimneys preserve the area atop the chimney from water damaging where the roof meets the chimney. A chimney is one of the most imperitive systems of a dwelling’s integrity. Most customers don’t give a lot of thought to their Bellport home’s (or business’s) chimney. When roof or chimneys become broken, it loses its resistance to water aggression and leaks start a host of other problems. Chimney repairs are generally made with cement or thin metal (tin, steel or aluminum) that is generally mounted beneath the roof’s shingles. Warped or missing chimney parts can lead to serious water leak and severe leakage to your Bellport home and parts of the chimney.

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

Checking For Chimney Complications

Following a storm, walk around your residence and inspect for water stains and in your house and ceilings using a flashlight – if possible. If, when it starts to rain, you notice that there are spots in your home that begin to leak, call your local roofing experts immediately. Expressway’s trained chimney and roofing technicians recommend you never let leaks go without resealing for very long. Leaky roofs always cause additional damage to other parts of your structure – which can include the growth of sickening mold and mildew – and that could usually cost you thousands more to address. If you notice toxic mold, shrinking, blistering or curling shingles, contact an fully-trained chimney company such as Expressway to inspect your structure’s roof and recommend an appropriate schedule of action before it’s too late.

The next factor that we would look for is if the bricks that are above the chimney need to be addressed 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 will leak past the chimney cap or crown. Chimney inspection is a small maintenance task, but it’s one that you can’t afford to overlook. Expressway regularly repairs chimneys that can no longer do its job in preserving a property from eroding water. If there are undiscovered cracks or compromises in this masonry, the problems can be faster and more pervasive. Mold growth – which is usually in dark, undrafted and damp sections are perfect for growing and harboring mold. Because harm happens below the roof and out of sight, property owners could not become aware of possible damage until a major safety and property risk occurs.
