Chimney Repair Near Glen Cove

CHIMNEY REPAIR NEAR GLEN COVE, LONG ISLAND

What Are Some Types Of Chimney Repairs?

Chimneys protect the section atop the chimney from water infiltrating where the roof meets the chimney. Your chimney is one of the most neglected sections in the preservation of a home ability to remain dry and keep the inhabitants safe. Chimney damage is rarely seen – or even noticed – until something goes bad with it. Chimney repairs are imperitive to stop your Glen Cove structure from water penetration. Chimney fixes are generally made with cement or thin metal (tin, steel or aluminum) that is typically mounted beneath the roof’s shingles. Warped or missing chimney parts can lead to serious water leak and severe harm to your Glen Cove residence and parts of the chimney.

A chimney fix is almost always made with concrete or metal – spread or screwed to fit securely around the top of your chimney. If water is allowed to enter into the residence through a gap caused by harmed or missing chimney cap, there should be major cause for worry. Expressway provides chimney services, preventative maintenance and chimney inspections to cushion the chimney as well as the roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration caused by excessive water infiltration.

Chimney Factors To Look Out For

Following a storm, walk around your structure 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 places in your home that start to leak, call us immediately. Expressway’s expert chimney and roofing pros recommend you never let leaks go without a repair for very long. Leaky roofs always cause additional problems to other parts of your structure – which can include the growth of threatening mold and mildew – and that can eventually cost you thousands more to fix. Are there some shrinking, blistering or curling shingles? Is there any water damaging into the attic or into walls that you can see?

How Does A Chimney Become Damaged?

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in Glen Cove) we get quite a bit of sun, wind, sleet, rain and snow every year. Damage producers definitely include powerful winds that can displace the chimney materials. Imprecisely 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 decrease your chimney’s lifespan. A chimney that has deteriorated from the elements can eventually cause leaks to your roofing design, as your chimney fix helps hamper water damages from occurring to your roof deck and shingle layout. With so much to gain from having precisely installed or maintained chimney, it’s always critical to ensure that your chimney is kept in optimum working order.

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

Chimney Tests

Many of the property’s chimneys in Glen Cove are over 50 years old or more and failing. Most of the time this can be repaired by cutting out the old concerning metal or brick chimney with an angle grinder and replacing the deteriorated pieces with new brick or metal. Missing mortar joints also need to be repaired and or re-tuckpointed so that the water will pass the chimney cap. Chimney cracks are one of the main reasons that chimney can 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 fixes chimneys that could no longer do its job in protecting a structure from eroding water. If there are undiscovered cracks or compromises in this masonry, the damage may be faster and more pervasive. Mold growth – which is almost always in dark, undrafted and damp sections are perfect for growing and harboring mold. Because breakage happens below the roof and out of sight, customers can not become aware of any danger until a major safety and property risk occurs. We suggest you call Expressway to check your roof and chimney soon.
