CHIMNEY REPAIR NEAR GORDON HEIGHTS, LONG ISLAND

What Does A Chimney Repair Address?

Chimneys protect the spot atop the chimney from water leaking where the roof meets the chimney. A chimney is one of the most important parts of a home’s integrity. Chimney damage is rarely seen – or even noticed – until something goes wrong with it. When roof or chimney repair becomes leaky, it loses its resistance to water invasion and leaks start a host of other problems. The chimney caulking used to keep the chimney in place may slowly erode, making your roof susceptible to leaks. Chimney repair is your fist line of defense from water damage.

A chimney cap’s purpose is to hamper rain water and melting snow from infiltrating your house. A chimney repair is typically made with concrete or metal – spread or screwed to fit securely around the top of your chimney. If water is allowed to enter into your home through a gap caused by broken or missing chimney cap, there should be major cause for alarm. Expressway provides chimney assessments, preventative maintenance and chimney inspections to secure the chimney as well as your roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration caused by excessive water intrusion.

Checking For Chimney Problems

Even if your chimney looks good after a heavy rain or snow storm, there could still be underlying problems that could go unnoticed to a novice eye. If, when it starts to rain, you notice that there are sections in your structure that start to leak, call your local roofing experts immediately. Our trained chimney techs can find the source of the problem and fix it ASAP. Leaky roofs almost always cause additional damage to other parts of your residence which may include the growth of sickening mold and mildew… and that can then cost you thousands more to fix. Are there 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 Fixed Or Replaced?

A variety of parts can harm your chimney and initiate the need for either a chimney resealing or a full, new chimney installation. Leakage producers definitely include powerful winds that might dislodge the chimney material. Improperly installed chimneys or poor-quality cement or caulking used in the sealing process could be to blame. Old age – i.e. multiple cold winters and hot summers. A chimney that has deteriorated from the elements may mostly cause more weakening to the roofing system, as the chimney repair helps forestall water leakage from occurring to your roof deck and shingle system. With so much to gain from having correctly installed or maintained chimney, it is important to ensure that your chimney is kept in fine working order.

Some Signs The Chimney May Need Expressway’s Chimney Experts:

  • the chimney is dislodged or fallen
  • your chimney is rusted or rotted through in spots
  • your chimney is now coming loose
  • the chimney covered with roofing tar
  • You’re installing new shingles (or having another roof job/work done)
  • the chimney is leaking water into your home.

Spotting Damaged Chimney Parts

Many the chimneys that our chimney experts repair are the same chimney that were installed when the chimney was first installed. Most of the time this may be addressed by cutting out the old broken 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 can pass by the chimney cap. Expressway’s team may visit the property and assess the integrity of your structure’s chimney system, identify whether the chimney needs to be repaired. If your chimney’s is rusting and breaking away from your roof, Expressway’s team could replace all of the areas around the sections in question and help to keep your property’s roof protected. Expressway regularly addresses chimneys that could no longer do its job in preserving a dwelling from eroding water. Chimney harm usually begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline. Dwelling products also simply just develop breakage over time. Mold growth – which is usually 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 leaking down into your structure, the growth can be widespread and very expensive to remedy. We suggest you call Expressway to analyze your roof and chimney soon.
