Chimney Repair Near Pattersquash Island

What Does A Chimney Repair Fix?

Chimneys preserve the spot atop the chimney from water damaging where the roof joins the chimney. A chimney is one of the most essential systems of a dwelling’s integrity. Most clients don’t give a lot of thought to their Pattersquash Island home’s (or business’s) chimney. When roof or chimneys become damaged, it loses its resistance to water penetration and leaks initiate a host of other damage. The chimney caulking applied to keep the chimney in place can slowly erode, making your roof vulnerable to leaks. Chimney repair is your fist line of defense from water damage.

A chimney cap’s purpose is to hamper rain water and melting snow from penetrating your property. If water is allowed to penetrate into the dwelling through a gap caused by broken or missing chimney cap, there should be major cause for worry. Expressway provides chimney services, preventative maintenance and chimney inspections to defend your chimney as well as the roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration caused by excessive water infiltration.

Chimney Issues To Look Out For

Even if your chimney looks okay after a heavy rain or snow storm, there could still be underlying leakage that can go unnoticed to a novice eye. If, when it begins to rain, you notice that there are sections in your residence that start to leak, call Expressway Roofing & Chimney immediately. Expressway’s highly-skilled chimney and roofing pros recommend you never let leaks go without resealing for very long. On your dwelling’s roof, do you see mold, algae, mildew or fungus growth? Are there visible shrinking, blistering or curling shingles? Is there any water leaking into the attic or into walls that you can see?

Need Help Repairing Your Chimney?

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in Pattersquash Island) we get quite a bit of sun, wind, sleet, rain and snow every year. Damage producers definitely include powerful winds that can move the chimney materials. 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 may also affect your chimney’s lifespan. A chimney that has deteriorated from the elements can eventually cause weakening to the roofing system, as the chimney fix helps stall water leakage from occurring to your roof deck and shingle layout. 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.

Some Signs The Chimney can Need Expressway:

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

Spotting Leaky Chimney Parts

Many of the residence’s chimneys in Pattersquash Island are over 50 years old or more and failing. Most of the time this can be repaired by cutting out the old alarming metal or brick chimney with an angle grinder and replacing the problematic pieces with new brick or metal. Missing mortar joints also need to be repaired and or re-tuckpointed so that the water could pass the chimney cap. Chimney cracks are one of the main reasons that chimney will leak past the chimney cap or crown. If your chimney’s is rusting and breaking away from the roof, Expressway’s team will replace all of the areas around the sections in question and help to keep your structure’s roof defended. Expressway regularly fixes chimneys that will no longer do its job in cushioning a dwelling from eroding water. Structural and roof materials also simply just develop leakage over time. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other structure building products will be severely deteriorated by regular water infiltration. Mold is known to be dangerous to humans and pets and if water is penetrating down into your dwelling, the growth will be widespread and very expensive to remedy. We suggest you call Expressway to test your roof and chimney soon.
