Chimney Repair Near North Woodmere

What Are Some Types Of Chimney Repairs?

A rooftop chimney is your North Woodmere home’s major line of defense against water problems. A chimney is one of the most imperitive pieces of a property’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 aggression and leaks initiate a host of other leaks. Chimney repairs are most commonly made with cement or thin metal (tin, steel or aluminum) that is frequently mounted beneath the roof’s shingles. Warped or missing chimney parts can lead to serious water leak and severe leakage to your North Woodmere home and parts of the chimney.

A chimney fix is most commonly made with concrete or metal – spread or screwed to fit securely around the top of the chimney. If water is allowed to intrude into your property through a gap caused by leaking or missing chimney cap, there should be major cause for worry. Expressway provides chimney services, preventative maintenance and chimney inspections to protect the chimney as well as the roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration caused by excessive water aggression.

Chimney Factors To Look Out For

Even if your chimney looks okay after a heavy rain or snow storm, there could still be underlying problems that can go unnoticed to a novice eye. Water stains could indicate the inception of a chimney leaking problem. Expressway’s highly-skilled chimney specialists recommend you never let leaks go without resealing for very long. On your residence’s roof, do you see mold, algae, mildew or fungus growth? Are there visible shrinking, blistering or curling shingles? Is there any water damaging into the attic or into walls that you can see?

Do I Need My Chimney Repaired Or Replaced?

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in North Woodmere) we get quite a bit of sun, wind, sleet, rain and snow every year. Harm producers definitely include powerful winds that can displace the chimney materials. Inexactly installed chimneys or poor-quality cement or caulking products used in the sealing process could be to blame. Workers on a North Woodmere roof can also inadvertently break or dislodge the chimney. If your chimney’s is broken, it can quickly become a major breakage if left unaddressed. With so much to gain from having precisely installed or maintained chimney, it is important to ensure that the chimney is kept in efficient working order.

Some Signs Your Chimney can Need Expressway:

• your chimney is displaced or fallen
• the chimney is rusted or rotted through in spots
• the chimney is coming loose
• the chimney covered with roofing tar
• You’re installing new roof shingles (or having other roofing work done)
• Your chimney is allowing water into your residence.

Chimney Maintenance

Many of the chimneys that our technicians repair are the same chimneys that were installed when the chimney was initially built. Most of the time this may be repaired by cutting out the old damaged metal or brick chimney with an angle grinder and replacing the leaky pieces with new brick or metal. Missing mortar joints also need to be repaired and or re-tuckpointed so that the water can pass the chimney cap. Expressway’s team may visit the property and assess the integrity of the dwelling’s chimney system, identify whether the chimney needs to be fixed. If the chimney’s is rusting and breaking away from your roof, Expressway’s team could replace all of the areas around the places in question and help to keep your property’s roof preserved. Expressway regularly addresses chimneys that could no longer do its job in preserving a structure from aggressive water. House and roof materials also simply just develop leakage over time. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other structure building products may be severely harmed by regular water infiltration. Because harm happens below the roof and out of sight, customers will not become aware of a leak until a major safety and property risk occurs. We suggest you call Expressway to test your roof and chimney soon.
