What Does A Chimney Repair Address?

A rooftop chimney is your Hauppauge dwelling’s major line of defense against water breakage. Your chimney is one of the most overlooked places in the sustainment of a dwelling ability to remain dry and keep your home’s inhabitants safe. Most customers don’t give a lot of thought to their Hauppauge home’s (or business’s) chimney. When roof or chimneys become damaged, it loses its resistance to water insertion and leaks begin a host of other leaks. Chimney repairs are almost always made with cement or thin metal (tin, steel or aluminum) that is almost always mounted beneath your roof’s shingles. Replacing the chimney (or chimney sealants) from time to time could go a long way in water tightening your roof and defending your Hauppauge residence from water aggression.

A chimney fix is usually 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 damages or missing chimney cap, there should be major cause for alarm. Expressway provides chimney services, preventative maintenance and chimney inspections to protect the chimney as well as the roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration caused by excessive water penetration.

How Does A Chimney Become Concerning?

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in Hauppauge) we get quite a bit of sun, wind, sleet, rain and snow every year. Squirrels, raccoons and other animals will be tearing at the chimney to get in. Incorrectly installed chimneys or poor-quality cement or caulking products used in the sealing process could be to blame. Workers on a Hauppauge roof will also inadvertently damage or dislodge the chimney. A chimney that has deteriorated from the elements could eventually cause leaks to the roofing design, as the chimney repair helps avert water leakage from occurring to the roof deck and shingle layout. With so much to gain from having properly installed or maintained chimney, it’s pivotal to ensure that your chimney is kept in efficient working order.

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

Chimney Maintenance

Many of the home’s chimneys in Hauppauge are over 50 years old or more and failing. Most of the time this will be addressed by cutting out the old alarming metal or brick chimney with an angle grinder and replacing the problematic pieces with new brick or metal. Missing mortar joints also need to be repaired and or re-tuckpointed so that the water can pass the chimney cap. Expressway’s team will visit the property and assess the integrity of the dwelling’s chimney design, identify whether your chimney needs to be replaced. 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 preserving a home from damaging water. House and roof materials also simply just develop harm over time. Mold growth – which is generally 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 damaging down into your home, the growth can be widespread and very expensive to remedy. We suggest you call Expressway to test your roof and chimney soon.
