Chimney Repair Near Greenlawn

What Does A Chimney Repair Fix?

A rooftop chimney is your Greenlawn structure’s major line of defense against water leakage. Your chimney is one of the most overlooked places in the conservation of a structure ability to remain dry and keep your home’s inhabitants safe. Chimney damage is rarely seen – or even noticed – until something goes awry with it. Chimney repairs are imperitive to stop your Greenlawn property from water damage. The chimney caulking applied to keep the chimney in place can slowly erode, making your roof prone to leaks. If water gets past the chimney cap, there is nothing left to halt it from destroying your structure’s walls and ceilings.

A chimney cap’s purpose is to stall rain water and melting snow from damaging your structure. When installed exactly, proper chimney repairs can serve you for many years. 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 aggression.

How Does A Chimney Become Alarming?

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in Greenlawn) we get quite a bit of sun, wind, sleet, rain and snow every year. Leakage producers definitely include powerful winds that can move the chimney materials. Improperly 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 can also affect your chimney’s lifespan. If your chimney’s is harmed, it can quickly become a major affliction if left unaddressed. With so much to gain from having properly installed or maintained chimney, it’s pertinent to ensure that the chimney is kept in fine working order.

Chimney Inspections

Many of the chimneys that our pros fix are the same chimneys that were installed when the chimney was originally built. The next thing that our technicians would look for is if the bricks that are above the chimney need to be corrected Missing mortar joints also need to be repaired and or re-tuckpointed so that the water could pass the chimney cap. Our team may visit your property and assess the integrity of your dwelling’s chimney layout, identify whether your chimney needs to be repaired. Chimney inspection is a small maintenance task, but it’s one that you can’t afford to overlook. Chimney leakage almost always begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline. If there are undiscovered cracks or compromises in this masonry, the leakage will be faster and more pervasive. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other residence building products will be severely deteriorated by regular water infiltration. Mold is known to be dangerous to humans and pets and if water is eroding down into your residence, the growth could be widespread and very expensive to remedy. We suggest you call Expressway to inspect your roof and chimney soon.
