CHIMNEY REPAIR NEAR PLAINVIEW, LONG ISLAND

What’s The Importance Of Chimney Repairs?

Chimneys preserve the area atop the chimney from water damaging where the roof joins the chimney. A chimney is one of the most important parts of a property’s integrity. Most customers don’t give a lot of thought to their Plainview home’s (or business’s) chimney. Chimney repairs are necessary to hamper your Plainview dwelling from water leakage. Chimney repairs are almost always made with cement or thin metal (tin, steel or aluminum) that is usually mounted beneath the roof’s shingles. Chimney repair is the fist line of defense from water damage.

A chimney cap’s purpose is to forestall rain water and melting snow from leaking your dwelling. A chimney repair is generally made with concrete or metal – spread or screwed to fit securely around the top of your chimney. When installed exactly, correct chimney repairs will serve you for myriad years. Expressway provides chimney assessments, preventative maintenance and chimney inspections to secure the chimney as well as your roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration caused by excessive water aggression.

Chimney Issues To Look For

Following a storm, walk around your home and check for water stains and in your house and ceilings using a flashlight – if possible. Water stains could indicate the inception of a chimney leaking problem. Expressway’s highly-skilled chimney and roofing experts recommend you never let leaks go without address or repair for very long. On your home’s roof, do you see mold, algae, mildew or fungus growth? Are there shrinking, blistering or curling shingles? Is there any water leaking into the attic or into walls that you can see?

How Does A Chimney Become Problematic?

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in Plainview) we get quite a bit of sun, wind, sleet, rain and snow every year. Leakage producers definitely include powerful winds that could free the chimney material. Rust issues (which are common with certain types of chimney material). Old age – i.e. myriad cold winters and hot summers. If your chimney’s is damaged, it can quickly become a major issue if left unaddressed. With so much to gain from having correctly installed or maintained chimney, it’s always important to ensure that your chimney is kept in excellent working order.

Some Signs Your Chimney May Need Expressway:

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

Chimney Estimates

A lot of the chimneys that we repair are the same chimney that were installed when the chimney was first equipped. Most of the time this can be resealed by cutting out the old harmed metal or brick chimney with an angle grinder and replacing the broken pieces with new brick or metal. Last – but not least – almost every fireplace needs to be inspected for cracks at least once a month. Chimney cracks are one of the main reasons that chimney might leak past the chimney cap or crown. If your chimney’s is rusting and breaking away from the roof, our team could replace all of the areas around the sections in question and help to keep the structure’s roof protected. Expressway regularly fixes chimneys that can no longer do its job in defending a residence from aggressive water. Chimney damage usually begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline. If there are undiscovered cracks or compromises in this masonry, the harm could be faster and more pervasive. Mold growth – which is usually in dark, undrafted and damp sections are perfect for growing and harboring mold. Because harm happens below the roof and out of sight, homeowners may not become aware of the problem until a major safety and property risk occurs. We suggest you call Expressway to test your roof and chimney soon.
