What Does A Chimney Repair Address?

A rooftop chimney is your Plainedge home’s major line of defense against water harm. 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 Plainedge home’s (or business’s) chimney. When roof or chimneys become problematic, it loses its resistance to water seepage and leaks begin a host of other problems. The chimney caulking applied to keep the chimney in place could slowly erode, making your roof prone to leaks. Warped or missing chimney parts can lead to serious water leak and severe leakage to your Plainedge property and parts of the chimney.

A chimney repair is typically made with concrete or metal – spread or screwed to fit securely around the top of the chimney. If water is allowed to penetrate into the structure through a gap caused by leaking or missing chimney cap, there should be major cause for concern. Expressway provides chimney services, preventative maintenance and chimney inspections to defend the chimney as well as your roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration caused by excessive water intrusion.
