Chimney Repair Near Seaford

What Does A Chimney Repair Address?

Chimneys defend the area atop the chimney from water damaging where the roof meets the chimney. A chimney is one of the most essential parts of a dwelling’s integrity. Chimney damage is rarely seen – or even noticed – until something goes awry with it. When roof or chimney repair becomes damaged, it loses its resistance to water insertion and leaks start a host of other damage. The chimney caulking used to keep your chimney in place will slowly erode, making the roof prone to leaks. Warped or missing chimney parts can lead to serious water leak and severe problems to your Seaford home and parts of the chimney.

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 get in into your dwelling through a gap caused by leaking or missing chimney cap, there should be major cause for alarm. Expressway provides chimney services, preventative maintenance and chimney inspections to secure the chimney as well as your roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration caused by excessive water aggression.

Checking For Chimney Complications

Even if your chimney looks dry after a heavy rain or snow storm, there could still be underlying leakage that can go unnoticed to a novice eye. If, when it starts to rain, you notice that there are areas in your residence that begin to leak, call Expressway Roofing & Chimney immediately. Our expert chimney techs will find the source of the problem and fix it ASAP. Leaky roofs always cause additional issues to other parts of your structure – which can include the growth of harmful mold and mildew – and that will eventually cost you thousands more to repair. Are there obvious shrinking, blistering or curling shingles? Is there any water eroding into the attic or into walls that you can see?

How Does A Chimney Become Concerning?

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in Seaford) 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. Incorrectly installed chimneys or poor-quality cement or caulking products used in the sealing process could be to blame. Workers on your Seaford roof may also inadvertently damage or dislodge the chimney. A chimney that has deteriorated from the elements will eventually cause damage to your roofing system, as the chimney repair helps hamper water harm from occurring to the roof deck and shingle layout. With so much to gain from having correctly installed or maintained chimney, it’s critical to ensure that your chimney is kept in good working order.

Some Signs The Chimney May Need Us:

• the chimney is uplifted or fallen
• the chimney is rusted or rotted through in spots
• your chimney is coming unhinged
• your chimney covered with roofing tar
• You’re installing new roof shingles (or having other roofing work done)
• the chimney is allowing water into your home.

Chimney Inspections

Many of the chimneys that we repair are the same chimney that were installed when the chimney was initially built. Most of the time this can be fixed by cutting out the old obstructed metal or brick chimney with an angle grinder and replacing the destroyed pieces with new brick or metal. Missing mortar joints also need to be repaired and or re-tuckpointed so that the water can pass the chimney cap. Expressway’s team will visit the property and assess the integrity of the residence’s chimney system, identify whether your chimney needs to be resealed. If your chimney’s is rusting and breaking away from the roof, our team will replace all of the areas around the areas in question and help to keep your residence’s roof defended. Expressway regularly repairs chimneys that can no longer do its job in protecting a dwelling from eroding water. If there are undiscovered cracks or compromises in this masonry, the breakage can be faster and more pervasive. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other home building materials can be severely damaged by regular water infiltration. Because harm happens below the roof and out of sight, homeowners may not become aware of the problem until a major safety and property risk occurs. We suggest you call Expressway to test your roof and chimney soon.
