Chimney Repair Near Lloyd Harbor

What Does A Chimney Repair Address?

A rooftop chimney is your Lloyd Harbor dwelling’s major line of defense against water harm. A chimney is one of the most important parts of a structure’s integrity. Chimney damage is rarely seen – or even noticed – until something goes wrong with it. When roof or chimneys become leaky, it loses its resistance to water intrusion and leaks start a host of other leaks. Chimney repairs are frequently made with cement or thin metal (tin, steel or aluminum) that is most commonly mounted beneath your roof’s shingles. Warped or missing chimney parts can lead to serious water leak and severe problems to your Lloyd Harbor home and parts of the chimney.

A chimney cap’s purpose is to impede rain water and melting snow from leaking your residence. When installed exactly, proper chimney fixes can serve you for many years. Expressway provides chimney services, preventative maintenance and chimney inspections to preserve the chimney as well as the roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration caused by excessive water infiltration.

Checking For Chimney Breakages

Following a storm, walk around your residence and check for water stains and in your house and ceilings using a flashlight – if possible. Water stains could indicate the start of a chimney leaking problem. Our trained chimney techs may find the source of the problem and repair it ASAP. Leaky roofs always cause additional problems to other parts of your structure – which can include the growth of sickening mold and mildew – and that can always cost you thousands more to fix. If you notice threatening mold, shrinking, blistering or curling shingles, reach an expert chimney chimney company such as Expressway to check your home’s roof and recommend an appropriate schedule of action before it’s too late.

Do I Need My Chimney Repaired Or Replaced?

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in Lloyd Harbor) we get quite a bit of sun, wind, sleet, rain and snow every year. Squirrels, raccoons and other animals could be tearing at the chimney to get in. Inexactly installed chimneys or poor-quality cement or caulking products used in the sealing process could be to blame. Old age – i.e. many storms, cold winters and hot summers could also decrease your chimney’s lifespan. A chimney that has deteriorated from the elements can eventually cause leaks to your roofing system, as the chimney fix helps forestall water harm from occurring to your roof deck and shingle layout. With so much to gain from having correctly installed or maintained chimney, it’s always critical to ensure that your chimney is kept in efficient working order.

Whether you have a fireplace that is built with masonry stone or brick you’ll have to maintain the chimney so that it won’t leak.

Chimney Maintenance

Many of the residence’s chimneys in Lloyd Harbor are over 50 years old or more and failing. Most of the time this can be fixed by cutting out the old obstructed metal or brick chimney with an angle grinder and replacing the harmed pieces with new brick or metal. Last – but not least – almost every fireplace needs to be investigated for cracks at least once a month. Expressway’s team can visit your property and assess the integrity of your home’s chimney layout, identify whether your chimney needs to be replaced. If your chimney’s is rusting and breaking away from the roof, Expressway’s team could replace all of the areas around the spots in question and help to keep the residence’s roof preserved. Chimney problems frequently begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline. If there are undiscovered cracks or compromises in this masonry, the breakage can be faster and more pervasive. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other dwelling building products can be severely broken by regular water infiltration. Because breakage happens below the roof and out of sight, clients will not become aware of possible damage until a major safety and property risk occurs. We suggest you call Expressway to test your roof and chimney soon.
