Chimney Repair Near Nassau County

What Are Some Styles Of Chimney Repairs?

Chimneys cushion the spot atop the chimney from water leaking where the roof meets the chimney. Your chimney is one of the most neglected areas in the conservation of a structure ability to remain dry and keep your home’s inhabitants safe. Chimney damage is seldom seen – or even noticed – until something goes awry with it. Chimney repairs are necessary to prevent your Nassau County residence from water intrusion. The chimney caulking used to keep the chimney in place can slowly erode, making the roof sensitive to leaks. Chimney repair is your fist line of defense from water damage.

A chimney cap’s purpose is to forestall rain water and melting snow from eroding your property. A chimney repair is assuredly made with concrete or metal – spread or screwed to fit securely around the top of the chimney. If water is allowed to enter into the residence through a gap caused by damages or missing chimney cap, there should be major cause for alarm. Expressway provides chimney inspections, preventative maintenance and chimney inspections to preserve the chimney as well as your roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration caused by excessive water infiltration.

Checking For Chimney Damage

Following a storm, walk around your home and check 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 places in your dwelling that start to leak, call us immediately. Expressway’s trained chimney and roofing technicians recommend you never let leaks go without address or repair for very long. Leaky roofs almost always cause additional leakage to other parts of your structure which might include the growth of sickening mold and mildew… and that can then cost the owner thousands more to fix. If you notice mold, shrinking, blistering or curling shingles, call an fully-trained chimney chimney contractor such as Expressway to maintain your home’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 Nassau County) 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 Nassau County roof may also inadvertently break or dislodge the chimney. A chimney that has deteriorated from the elements will mostly cause more harm to the roofing system, as the chimney repair helps stop water damage from occurring to your roof deck and shingle system. With so much to gain from having correctly installed or maintained chimney, it is important to ensure that the chimney is kept in optimum working order.

Some Signs Your Chimney May Need Us:

• the chimney is moving or fallen
• your chimney is rusted or rotted through in spots
• your chimney is now coming loose
• your chimney covered with roofing tar
• You’re installing new shingles (or having another roof job/work done)
• Your chimney is leaking water into your dwelling.

Chimney Problems

Some of the home’s chimneys in Nassau County are over 50 years old or more and failing. The next element that our pros would check for is if the bricks that are above the chimney need to be addressed Last – but not least – almost every fireplace needs to be analyzed for cracks at least once a month. Chimney cracks are one of the main reasons that chimney may leak past the chimney cap or crown. If your chimney’s is rusting and breaking away from your roof, our team could replace all of the areas around the sections in question and help to keep your residence’s roof preserved. Expressway regularly fixes chimneys that can no longer do its job in securing a home from damaging water. Chimney harm usually begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline. Home products also simply just develop leakage over time. Mold growth – which is usually in dark, undrafted and damp sections are perfect for growing and harboring mold. Because leakage happens below the roof and out of sight, property owners may not become aware of any danger until a major safety and property danger occurs. We suggest you call Expressway to analyze your roof and chimney soon.
