Chimney Repair Near Garden City Park

What Does A Chimney Repair Fix?

A rooftop chimney is your Garden City Park home’s major line of defense against water damage. Your chimney is one of the most neglected sections in the maintenance of a home ability to remain dry and keep its inhabitants safe. Chimney damage is rarely seen – or even noticed – until something goes wrong with it. Chimney repairs are essential to avert your Garden City Park property from water intrusion. The chimney caulking applied to keep your chimney in place will slowly erode, making the roof prone to leaks. Replacing your chimney (or chimney sealants) from time to time will go a long way in water tightening the roof and securing your Garden City Park property from water intrusion.

A chimney cap’s purpose is to avert rain water and melting snow from damaging your dwelling. If water is allowed to get in into your property through a gap caused by damages or missing chimney cap, there should be major cause for worry. Expressway provides chimney services, preventative maintenance and chimney inspections to preserve the chimney as well as your roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration caused by excessive water penetration.

Chimney Elements To Look Out For

Following a storm, walk around your dwelling and test for water stains and in your house and ceilings using a flashlight – if possible. Water stains could indicate the beginning of a chimney leaking problem. Expressway’s expert chimney and roofing pros recommend you never let leaks go without addressing for very long. On your residence’s roof, do you see mold, algae, mildew or fungus growth? Are there visible 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 Garden City Park) we get quite a bit of sun, wind, sleet, rain and snow every year. Squirrels, raccoons and other animals may be tearing at the chimney to get in. Incorrectly installed chimneys or poor-quality cement or caulking materials used in the sealing process could be to blame. Workers on your home’s Garden City Park roof could also inadvertently damage or dislodge the chimney. A chimney that has deteriorated from the elements may eventually cause weakening to the roofing design, as the chimney repair helps stop water damages from occurring to the roof deck and shingle design. With so much to gain from having correctly installed or maintained chimney, it is important to ensure that the chimney is kept in excellent working order.

• the chimney is rusted or rotted through in spots
• the chimney is coming unhinged

• You’re installing new roof shingles (or having other roofing work done)

Spotting Destructive Chimney Parts

Many of the chimneys that our pros fix are the same chimneys that were installed when the chimney was initially built. The next component that we would look for is if the bricks that are above the chimney need to be fixed Missing mortar joints also need to be repaired and or re-tuckpointed so that the water may pass the chimney cap. Our team may visit the property and assess the integrity of your dwelling’s chimney system, identify whether the chimney needs to be fixed. If your chimney’s is rusting and breaking away from the roof, our team can replace all of the areas around the places in question and help to keep the property’s roof preserved. Chimney harm almost always begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline. If there are undiscovered cracks or compromises in this masonry, the problems could be faster and more pervasive. Mold growth – which is almost always in dark, undrafted and damp sections are perfect for growing and harboring mold. Mold is known to be dangerous to humans and pets and if water is aggressive down into your residence, the growth may be widespread and very expensive to remedy. We suggest you call Expressway to inspect your roof and chimney soon.
