Chimney Repair Near Hempstead

What Does A Chimney Repair Fix?

Chimneys protect the place atop the chimney from water leaking where the roof joins the chimney. A chimney is one of the most essential parts of a residence’s integrity. Most clients don’t give a lot of thought to their Hempstead home’s (or business’s) chimney. Chimney repairs are necessary to stop your Hempstead property from water seepage. Chimney repairs are generally made with cement or thin metal (tin, steel or aluminum) that is usually mounted beneath your roof’s shingles. Warped or missing chimney parts may lead to serious water leak and severe problems to your Hempstead property and parts of the chimney.

A chimney cap’s purpose is to forestall rain water and melting snow from leaking your structure. A chimney repair is eventually made with concrete or metal – spread or screwed to fit securely around the top of the chimney. When installed properly, proper chimney repairs might serve you for myriad years. Expressway provides chimney inspections, preventative maintenance and chimney consultations to preserve the chimney as well as the roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration caused by excessive water penetration.

Checking For Chimney Complications

Following a storm, walk around your home 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 areas in your dwelling that start to leak, call us immediately. Our expert chimney techs can find the source of the problem and repair it ASAP. Leaky roofs almost always cause additional leakage to other parts of your structure which can include the growth of sickening mold and mildew… and that will then cost you thousands more to fix. If you notice mold, shrinking, blistering or curling shingles, contact an fully-trained chimney company such as Expressway to analyze your structure’s roof and recommend an appropriate course of action before it’s too late.

Fixing Your Chimney

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in Hempstead) we get quite a bit of sun, wind, sleet, rain and snow every year. Problem producers definitely include powerful winds that can uplift the chimney material. Improperly installed chimneys or poor-quality cement or caulking used in the sealing process could be to blame. Workers on your Hempstead roof may also inadvertently break or dislodge the chimney. A chimney that has deteriorated from the elements can almost always cause more damage to the roofing system, as the chimney repair helps stop water damages from occurring to your roof deck and shingle system. With so much to gain from having correctly installed or maintained chimney, it’s always important to ensure that the chimney is kept in efficient working order.

Chimney repairs should last about 20 years in Hempstead’s climate due to the amount of wear and tear caused by our inclement weathe.

Chimney Consultations

A lot of the residence’s chimneys in Hempstead are over 50 years old or more and failing. Most of the time this might 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. Last – but not least – almost every fireplace needs to be scrutinized for cracks at least once a month. Our team could visit the property and assess the integrity of your dwelling’s chimney system, 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. Expressway regularly repairs chimneys that will no longer do its job in preserving a home from damaging water. Chimney harm usually begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline. If there are undiscovered cracks or compromises in this masonry, the damage could be faster and more pervasive. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other property building products will be severely broken by regular water infiltration. Because damage happens below the roof and out of sight, homeowners may not become aware of the problem until a major safety and property risk occurs. We suggest you call Expressway to check your roof and chimney soon.
