Chimney Repair Near Plandome

What Does A Chimney Repair Address?

A rooftop chimney is your Plandome property’s major line of defense against water damage. A chimney is one of the most imperitive parts of a home’s integrity. Chimney damage is rarely seen – or even noticed – until something goes wrong with it. When roof or chimneys become harmful, it loses its resistance to water infiltration and leaks start a host of other leaks. The chimney caulking applied to keep your chimney in place could slowly erode, making the roof susceptible to leaks. Chimney repair is your fist line of defense from water damage.

A chimney fix is most commonly made with concrete or metal – spread or screwed to fit securely around the top of the chimney. When installed properly, proper chimney fixes could serve you for many years. Expressway provides chimney services, preventative maintenance and chimney inspections to secure your chimney as well as your roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration caused by excessive water aggression.
