How Does A Chimney Become Obstructed?

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in Port Jefferson) we get quite a bit of sun, wind, sleet, rain and snow every year. Leakage producers definitely include powerful winds that can uplift the chimney materials. Inexactly 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 will also reduce your chimney’s lifespan. A chimney that has deteriorated from the elements could eventually cause damage to your roofing design, as your chimney fix helps prevent water harm from occurring to the roof deck and shingle design. With so much to gain from having precisely installed or maintained chimney, it’s critical to ensure that the chimney is kept in efficient working order.

Chimney Tests

Many of the chimneys that our chimney experts repair are the same chimneys that were installed when the chimney was originally built.

Expressway’s team can visit the property and assess the integrity of the dwelling’s chimney design, identify whether your chimney needs to be repaired. Chimney inspection is a small maintenance task, but it’s one that you can’t afford to overlook.
