Chimney Repair Near Peconic

What Is The Importance Of Regular Chimney Repairs?

A rooftop chimney is your Peconic residence’s major line of defense against water problems. A chimney is one of the most essential systems of a home’s integrity. Most clients don’t give a lot of thought to their Peconic home’s (or business’s) chimney. When roof or chimneys become harmful, it loses its resistance to water intrusion and leaks initiate a host of other problems. Chimney fixes are almost always made with cement or thin metal (tin, steel or aluminum) that is generally mounted beneath your roof’s shingles. Warped or missing chimney parts can lead to serious water leak and severe damage to your Peconic home and parts of the chimney.

A chimney cap’s purpose is to stall rain water and melting snow from aggressive your dwelling. When installed properly, proper chimney repairs may serve you for many years. Expressway provides chimney services, preventative maintenance and chimney inspections to cushion the chimney as well as the roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration caused by excessive water intrusion.

Chimney Elements To Look Out For

Even if your chimney looks fine after a heavy rain or snow storm, there could still be underlying leakage that can go unnoticed to a novice eye. Water stains could indicate the start of a chimney leaking problem. Our highly-skilled chimney techs may find the source of the problem and repair it ASAP. Leaky roofs always cause additional damage to other parts of your dwelling – which can include the growth of toxic mold and mildew – and that can always cost the owner thousands more to repair. Are there some shrinking, blistering or curling shingles? Is there any water infiltrating into the attic or into walls that you can see?

Incorrectly installed chimneys or poor-quality cement or caulking products used in the sealing process could be to blame. Workers on your Peconic roof may also inadvertently harm or dislodge the chimney.

With so much to gain from having correctly installed or maintained chimney, it is pivotal to ensure that the chimney is kept in efficient working order.

Chimney Weakening Issues

Many of the chimneys that our pros repair are the same chimneys that were installed when the chimney was originally built. Most of the time this can be resealed by cutting out the old concerning metal or brick chimney with an angle grinder and replacing the problematic pieces with new brick or metal. Last – but not least – almost every fireplace needs to be investigated for cracks at least once a month. Chimney cracks are one of the main reasons that chimney will leak past the chimney cap or crown. Chimney inspection is a small maintenance task, but it’s one that you can’t afford to overlook. Chimney damage almost always begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline. Property and roof materials also simply just develop damage over time. Mold growth – which is usually in dark, undrafted and damp spots are perfect for growing and harboring mold. Because leakage happens below the roof and out of sight, homeowners could not become aware of the problem until a major safety and property risk occurs. We suggest you call Expressway to check your roof and chimney soon.
