CHIMNEY REPAIR NEAR SHIRLEY, LONG ISLAND

What Are Some Types Of Chimney Repairs?

Chimneys cushion the place atop the chimney from water eroding where the roof meets the chimney. A chimney is one of the most essential parts of a property’s integrity. Most homeowners don’t give a lot of thought to their Shirley home’s (or business’s) chimney. When roof or chimney repair becomes harmful, it loses its resistance to water infiltration and leaks start a host of other damage. Chimney repairs are almost always 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 leakage to your Shirley residence and parts of the chimney.

A chimney cap’s purpose is to hamper rain water and melting snow from damaging your house. A chimney repair is typically made with concrete or metal – spread or screwed to fit securely around the top of the chimney. If water is allowed to intrude into the home through a gap caused by leaking or missing chimney cap, there should be major cause for leaks. Expressway provides chimney inspections, preventative maintenance and chimney estimates to preserve the chimney as well as the roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration caused by excessive water infiltration.

Checking For Chimney Problems

Even if your chimney looks fine after a heavy rain or snow storm, there could still be underlying leakage that might go unnoticed to a novice eye. If, when it starts to rain, you notice that there are spots in your structure that start to leak, call your local roofing experts immediately. Our expert chimney techs will find the source of the problem and address it ASAP. On your dwelling’s roof, do you see mold, algae, mildew or fungus growth? Are there shrinking, blistering or curling shingles? Is there any water infiltrating into the attic or into walls that you can see?

Do I Need My Chimney Repaired Or Replaced?

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in Shirley) 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. Rust issues (which are common with certain types of chimney material). Workers on your Shirley roof may also inadvertently harm or dislodge the chimney. If your chimney’s is problematic, it may quickly become a major issue if left unaddressed. With so much to gain from having properly installed or maintained chimney, it’s important to ensure that your chimney is kept in good working order.

Some Signs The Chimney May Need Expressway:

  • the chimney is uplifted or fallen
  • the chimney is rusted or rotted through in spots
  • your chimney is now coming loose
  • the chimney covered with roofing tar
  • You’re installing new shingles (or having another roof job/work done)
  • Your chimney is leaking water into your home.

Chimney Problems

Many the structure’s chimneys in Shirley are over 50 years old or more and failing. The next part that our pros would look for is if the bricks that are above the chimney need to be addressed Missing mortar joints also need to be repaired and or re-tuckpointed so that the water will pass by the chimney cap. 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 repairs chimneys that may no longer do its job in defending a property from damaging water. Chimney leakage usually begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline. If there are undiscovered cracks or compromises in this masonry, the damage will be faster and more pervasive. Mold growth – which is usually in dark, undrafted and damp places are perfect for growing and harboring mold. Because leakage happens below the roof and out of sight, homeowners may not become aware of any danger until a major safety and property danger occurs. We suggest you call Expressway to test your roof and chimney soon.
