A rooftop chimney is your Manhasset structure’s major line of protection against water leakage.

Spotting Destroyed Chimney Parts

Many the chimneys that our pros repair are the same chimney that were installed when the chimney was initially connected. Most of the time this will be repaired by cutting out the old broken metal or brick chimney with an angle grinder and replacing the broken pieces with new brick or metal. Missing mortar joints also need to be fixed and or re-tuckpointed so that the water can pass by the chimney cap. Chimney cracks are one of the main reasons that chimney will leak past the chimney cap or crown.

Expressway regularly repairs chimneys that can no longer do its job in preserving a structure from infiltrating water. Chimney damage usually begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline.
