Chimney Repair Near Ridge

What Is The Need Of Regular Chimney Repairs?

Chimneys protect the section atop the chimney from water eroding where the roof meets the chimney. Your chimney is one of the most neglected spots in the preservation of a residence ability to remain dry and keep its inhabitants safe. Chimney damage is rarely seen – or even noticed – until something goes awry with it. Chimney repairs are essential to prevent your Ridge structure from water invasion. Chimney fixes are generally made with cement or thin metal (tin, steel or aluminum) that is generally mounted beneath the roof’s shingles. Chimney repair is your fist line of defense from water damage.

A chimney cap’s purpose is to stall rain water and melting snow from damaging your property. If water is allowed to flow down into the dwelling through a gap caused by damages or missing chimney cap, there should be major cause for concern. Expressway provides chimney services, preventative maintenance and chimney inspections to preserve your chimney as well as your roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration caused by excessive water infiltration.

If, when it starts to rain, you notice that there are spots in your home that begin to leak, call Expressway Roofing & Chimney immediately. Our trained chimney techs will find the source of the problem and address it ASAP. On your home’s roof, do you see mold, algae, mildew or fungus growth?

Need Help Repairing Your Chimney?

A variety of elements can harm your chimney and begin the need for either a chimney replacement or a full, new chimney installation. Squirrels, raccoons and other animals could be tearing at the chimney to get in. Imprecisely installed chimneys or poor-quality cement or caulking products used in the sealing process could be to blame. Workers on your Ridge roof can also inadvertently damage or dislodge the chimney. If your chimney’s is leaky, it can quickly become a major leak if left unaddressed. With so much to gain from having properly installed or maintained chimney, it’s critical to ensure that the chimney is kept in fine working order.

Whether you have a fireplace that is built with masonry stone or brick you’ll have to maintain the chimney so that it won’t leak.

Chimney Maintenance

Many of the chimneys that our technicians fix are the same chimneys that were installed when the chimney was originally built. Most of the time this can be fixed by cutting out the old worrisome 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 investigated for cracks at least once a month. Chimney cracks are one of the main reasons that chimney may 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. Expressway regularly replaces chimneys that can no longer do its job in cushioning a dwelling from infiltrating water. House and roof materials also simply just develop damage over time. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other home building materials will be severely harmed by regular water infiltration. Because breakage happens below the roof and out of sight, clients may not become aware of possible damage until a major safety and property risk occurs. We suggest you call Expressway to test your roof and chimney soon.
