Many the chimneys that our technicians repair are the same chimney that were installed when the chimney was originally erected. Most of the time this could be resealed by cutting out the old damaged metal or brick chimney with an angle grinder and replacing the broken pieces with new brick or metal. Missing mortar joints also need to be repaired and or re-tuckpointed so that the water might pass by the chimney cap.

Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other residence building materials will be severely deteriorated by regular water infiltration. Because leakage happens below the roof and out of sight, customers may not become aware of possible damage until a major safety and property risk occurs. We suggest you call Expressway to evaluate your roof and chimney soon.
