Chimney Repair Near Salisbury

What’s The Importance Of Chimney Repairs?

A rooftop chimney is your Salisbury property’s major line of integrity against water leakage. A chimney is one of the most essential parts of a dwelling’s integrity. Most customers don’t give a lot of thought to their Salisbury home’s (or business’s) chimney. Chimney repairs are necessary to hamper your Salisbury property from water problems. Chimney repairs are generally made with cement or thin metal (tin, steel or aluminum) that is usually mounted beneath your roof’s shingles. Warped or missing chimney parts can lead to serious water leak and severe problems to your Salisbury home and parts of the chimney.

A chimney cap’s purpose is to avert rain water and melting snow from penetrating your structure. A chimney repair is typically made with concrete or metal – spread or screwed to fit securely around the top of your chimney. If water is allowed to intrude into your dwelling through a gap caused by broken or missing chimney cap, there should be major cause for damage. Expressway provides chimney estimates, 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.

Checking For Chimney Complications

Following a storm, walk around your residence and inspect for water stains and in your house and ceilings using a flashlight – if possible. If, when it starts to rain, you notice that there are places in your residence that start to leak, call your local roofing experts immediately. Our highly-skilled chimney techs can find the source of the problem and repair it ASAP. Leaky roofs almost always cause additional damage to other parts of your structure which could include the growth of sickening mold and mildew… and that might then cost you thousands more to address. Are there shrinking, blistering or curling shingles? Is there any water eroding into the attic or into walls that you can see?

Do I Need My Chimney Fixed Or Replaced?

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in Salisbury) we get quite a bit of sun, wind, sleet, rain and snow every year. Squirrels, raccoons and other animals may be tearing at the chimney to get in. Improperly installed chimneys or poor-quality cement or caulking used in the sealing process could be to blame. Workers on a Salisbury roof may also inadvertently harm or dislodge the chimney. A chimney that has deteriorated from the elements could usually cause more weakening to your roofing system, as your chimney repair helps avert water damage from occurring to your roof deck and shingle system. With so much to gain from having properly installed or maintained chimney, it’s always important to ensure that the chimney is kept in excellent working order.

Chimney repairs should last about 20 years in Salisbury’s climate due to the amount of wear and tear caused by New York’s turbulent weathe.

Spotting Adverse Chimney Parts

Many the chimneys that our chimney experts repair are the same chimney that were installed when the chimney was initially equipped. The next component that our technicians would test for is if the bricks that are above the chimney need to be repaired Missing mortar joints also need to be repaired and or re-tuckpointed so that the water might pass by the chimney cap. 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 will replace all of the areas around the places in question and help to keep the structure’s roof secured. Expressway regularly repairs chimneys that will no longer do its job in preserving a structure from aggressive water. Chimney damage usually begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline. Structural products also simply just develop damage over time. Mold growth – which is usually in dark, undrafted and damp places are perfect for growing and harboring mold. Because damage happens below the roof and out of sight, property owners may not become aware of the problem until a major safety and property danger occurs. We suggest you call Expressway to evaluate your roof and chimney soon.
