Chimney Repair Near Rocky Point

What Does A Chimney Repair Address?

Chimneys secure the spot atop the chimney from water damaging where the roof joins the chimney. A chimney is one of the most important 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 damaged, it loses its resistance to water infiltration and leaks cause a host of other damage. Chimney fixes are frequently made with cement or thin metal (tin, steel or aluminum) that is almost always mounted beneath your roof’s shingles. Replacing your chimney (or chimney sealants) from time to time will go a long way in water tightening the roof and cushioning your Rocky Point residence from water damage.

A chimney repair is generally made with concrete or metal – spread or screwed to fit securely around the top of your chimney.
