What Does A Chimney Repair Address?

Chimneys protect the section atop the chimney from water eroding where the roof meets the chimney. Your chimney is one of the most overlooked places in the conservation of a home ability to remain dry and keep your home’s inhabitants safe. Most clients don’t give a lot of thought to their East Hills home’s (or business’s) chimney. When roof or chimneys become problematic, it loses its resistance to water invasion and leaks cause a host of other problems. Chimney fixes are typically made with cement or thin metal (tin, steel or aluminum) that is most commonly mounted beneath your roof’s shingles. Warped or missing chimney parts can lead to serious water leak and severe problems to your East Hills structure and parts of the chimney.

A chimney cap’s purpose is to stall rain water and melting snow from leaking your residence. When installed correctly, proper chimney repairs will serve you for many years. Expressway provides chimney services, preventative maintenance and chimney inspections to preserve your chimney as well as the roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration caused by excessive water penetration.

Are there visible shrinking, blistering or curling shingles? Is there any water leaking into the attic or into walls that you can see?

Expressway regularly repairs chimneys that may no longer do its job in protecting a residence from penetrating water. Dwelling and roof materials also simply just develop problems over time. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other property building products could be severely harmed by regular water infiltration. Because breakage happens below the roof and out of sight, property owners may not become aware of the problem until a major safety and property risk occurs. We suggest you call Expressway to test your roof and chimney soon.
