What Does A Chimney Repair Fix?

A rooftop chimney is your Islandia residence’s major line of integrity against water damage. A chimney is one of the most essential parts of a residence’s integrity. Most customers don’t give a lot of thought to their Islandia home’s (or business’s) chimney. When roof or chimney repair becomes problematic, it loses its resistance to water intrusion and leaks start a host of other problems. The chimney caulking used to keep the chimney in place may slowly erode, making the roof open to leaks. Warped or missing chimney parts can lead to serious water leak and severe damage to your Islandia home and parts of the chimney.

A chimney cap’s purpose is to hamper rain water and melting snow from damaging your structure.

Expressway provides chimney consultations, preventative maintenance and chimney inspections to secure your chimney as well as the roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration caused by excessive water intrusion.
