Chimney Repair Near Mineola

What Does A Chimney Repair Address?

Chimneys preserve the area atop the chimney from water infiltrating where the roof meets the chimney. A chimney is one of the most important systems of a dwelling’s integrity. Chimney damage is rarely seen – or even noticed – until something goes wrong with it. Chimney repairs are essential to stop your Mineola dwelling from water intrusion. The chimney caulking used to keep the chimney in place could slowly erode, making the roof sensitive to leaks. Chimney repair is your fist line of defense from water damage.

A chimney fix is almost always made with concrete or metal – spread or screwed to fit securely around the top of your chimney. When installed precisely, proper chimney fixes could serve you for many years. Expressway provides chimney services, preventative maintenance and chimney inspections to protect the chimney as well as your roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration caused by excessive water aggression.

Checking For Chimney Complications

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 inception of a chimney leaking problem. Expressway’s professional chimney and roofing experts recommend you never let leaks go without addressing for very long. Leaky roofs always cause additional issues to other parts of your dwelling – which can include the growth of unhealthy mold and mildew – and that may eventually cost the owner thousands more to fix. If you notice dangerous mold, shrinking, blistering or curling shingles, call an fully-trained chimney company such as Expressway to check your dwelling’s roof and recommend an appropriate plan of action before it’s too late.

Do I Need My Chimney Repaired Or Replaced?

A variety of factors can harm your chimney and begin the need for either a chimney replacement or a full, new chimney installation. Squirrels, raccoons and other animals can be tearing at the chimney to get in. Imprecisely 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 can also affect your chimney’s lifespan. If the chimney’s is harmed, it can quickly become a major problem if left unaddressed. With so much to gain from having precisely installed or maintained chimney, it’s essential to ensure that the chimney is kept in good working order.

Spotting Leaky Chimney Parts

Many of the chimneys that our technicians repair are the same chimneys that were installed when the chimney was originally built. Most of the time this could be resealed by cutting out the old obstructed metal or brick chimney with an angle grinder and replacing the destroyed pieces with new brick or metal. Last – but not least – almost every fireplace needs to be inspected for cracks at least once a month. Our team could visit your property and assess the integrity of the structure’s chimney system, identify whether the chimney needs to be fixed. If your chimney’s is rusting and breaking away from the roof, our team may replace all of the areas around the areas in question and help to keep the residence’s roof secured. Expressway regularly replaces chimneys that will no longer do its job in securing a dwelling from infiltrating water. If there are undiscovered cracks or compromises in this masonry, the problems may be faster and more pervasive. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other structure building products will be severely harmed by regular water infiltration. Mold is known to be dangerous to humans and pets and if water is infiltrating down into your dwelling, the growth could be widespread and very expensive to remedy. We suggest you call Expressway to test your roof and chimney soon.
