Chimney Repair Near Mattituck

What’s The Importance Of Chimney Repairs?

A rooftop chimney is your Mattituck residence’s major line of integrity against water problems. A chimney is one of the most essential parts of a home’s integrity. Most clients don’t give a lot of thought to their Mattituck home’s (or business’s) chimney. When roof or chimney repair becomes problematic, it loses its resistance to water penetration and leaks initiate a host of other weakening. The chimney caulking used to keep the chimney in place can slowly erode, making the roof open to leaks. If water gets past the chimney cap, there is nothing left to stop it from penetrating the structure’s walls and ceilings.

A chimney cap’s purpose is to prevent rain water and melting snow from eroding your residence. A chimney repair is mostly made with concrete or metal – spread or screwed to fit securely around the top of the chimney. When installed correctly, proper chimney repairs can serve you for multiple years. Expressway provides chimney consultations, preventative maintenance and chimney estimates to protect your chimney as well as the roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration caused by excessive water aggression.

Checking For Chimney Breakages

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 sections in your home that start to leak, call us immediately. Our trained chimney techs will find the source of the problem and fix it ASAP. Leaky roofs almost always cause additional problems to other parts of your structure which can include the growth of sickening mold and mildew… and that will then cost the owner thousands more to address. If you notice mold, shrinking, blistering or curling shingles, call an highly-skilled chimney company such as Expressway to inspect your dwelling’s roof and recommend an appropriate course of action before it’s too late.

Repairing Your Chimney

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in Mattituck) we get quite a bit of sun, wind, sleet, rain and snow every year. Squirrels, raccoons and other animals may be tearing at the chimney to get in. Improperly installed chimneys or poor-quality cement or caulking used in the sealing process could be to blame. Workers on the Mattituck roof may also inadvertently damage or dislodge the chimney. If your chimney’s is harmed, it could quickly become a major issue if left unaddressed. With so much to gain from having precisely installed or maintained chimney, it is important to ensure that your chimney is kept in good working order.

Chimney repairs should last about 20 years in Mattituck’s climate due to the amount of wear and tear caused by New York’s turbulent weathe.

Chimney Problems

Some of the structure’s chimneys in Mattituck are over 50 years old or more and failing. Most of the time this could be fixed by cutting out the old damaged 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 analyzed for cracks at least once a month. Our team may visit your property and assess the integrity of the dwelling’s chimney system, identify whether your chimney needs to be addressed. If the chimney’s is rusting and breaking away from the roof, Expressway’s team may replace all of the areas around the spots in question and help to keep the structure’s roof protected. Expressway regularly replaces chimneys that might no longer do its job in protecting a home from penetrating water. Chimney problems usually begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline. If there are undiscovered cracks or compromises in this masonry, the breakage may be faster and more pervasive. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other dwelling building materials could be severely broken by regular water infiltration. Because breakage happens below the roof and out of sight, customers may not become aware of any danger until a major safety and property risk occurs. We suggest you call Expressway to test your roof and chimney soon.
