Chimney Repair Near Greenwood Village

What Is The Importance Of Regular Chimney Repairs?

A rooftop chimney is your Greenwood Village dwelling’s major line of defense against water leakage. Your chimney is one of the most neglected areas in the sustainment of a property ability to remain dry and keep its inhabitants safe. Chimney damage is rarely seen – or even noticed – until something goes bad with it. When roof or chimneys become problematic, it loses its resistance to water aggression and leaks start a host of other problems. Chimney fixes are frequently made with cement or thin metal (tin, steel or aluminum) that is generally mounted beneath the roof’s shingles. Replacing your chimney (or chimney sealants) from time to time will go a long way in water tightening your roof and preserving your Greenwood Village property from water aggression.

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

Checking For Chimney Leakage

Even if your chimney looks fine after a heavy rain or snow storm, there could still be underlying damage that can go unnoticed to a novice eye. Water stains could indicate the beginning of a chimney leaking problem. Expressway’s trained chimney specialists recommend you never let leaks go without addressing for very long. Leaky roofs always cause additional issues to other parts of your home – which can include the growth of unhealthy mold and mildew – and that may always cost you thousands more to fix. Are there obvious shrinking, blistering or curling shingles? Is there any water leaking into the attic or into walls that you can see?

Do I Need My Chimney Repaired Or Replaced?

A variety of elements can harm your chimney and begin the need for either a chimney fixing or a full, new chimney replacement. Squirrels, raccoons and other animals can be tearing at the chimney to get in. Rust issues (which are common with certain types of chimney materials). Old age – i.e. many storms, cold winters and hot summers can also affect your chimney’s lifespan. A chimney that has deteriorated from the elements will eventually cause damage to your roofing design, as your chimney repair helps hamper water damages from occurring to your roof deck and shingle design. With so much to gain from having properly installed or maintained chimney, it’s pertinent to ensure that the chimney is kept in efficient working order.

Chimney Tests

Many of the dwelling’s chimneys in Greenwood Village are over 50 years old or more and failing. The next factor that our chimney experts would look for is if the bricks that are above the chimney need to be repaired Last – but not least – almost every fireplace needs to be studied for cracks at least once a month. Chimney cracks are one of the main reasons that chimney can leak past the chimney cap or crown. If your chimney’s is rusting and breaking away from the roof, our team could replace all of the areas around the areas in question and help to keep the structure’s roof defended. Expressway regularly fixes chimneys that could no longer do its job in protecting a structure from infiltrating water. If there are undiscovered cracks or compromises in this masonry, the harm could be faster and more pervasive. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other property building materials could be severely broken by regular water infiltration. Because breakage happens below the roof and out of sight, homeowners could not become aware of a leak until a major safety and property risk occurs. We suggest you call Expressway to test your roof and chimney soon.
