Chimney Repair Near Sound Beach

What Does A Chimney Repair Avoid?

A rooftop chimney is your Sound Beach structure’s major line of integrity against water problems. A chimney is one of the most important parts of a home’s integrity. Most clients don’t give a lot of thought to their Sound Beach home’s (or business’s) chimney. Chimney repairs are necessary to impede your Sound Beach residence from water problems. The chimney caulking used to keep your chimney in place could slowly erode, making your roof sensitive to leaks. Warped or missing chimney parts could lead to serious water leak and severe leakage to your Sound Beach structure and parts of the chimney.

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

Checking For Chimney Damage

Following a storm, walk around your home and inspect for water stains and in your house and ceilings using a flashlight – if possible. Water stains could indicate the start of a chimney leaking problem. Expressway’s expert chimney and roofing technicians recommend you never let leaks go without address or repair for very long. Leaky roofs almost always cause additional damage to other parts of your structure which might include the growth of sickening mold and mildew… and that may then cost the owner thousands more to fix. Are there shrinking, blistering or curling shingles? Is there any water infiltrating into the attic or into walls that you can see?

How Does A Chimney Become Destructive?

Here in the NY tri-state area (and especially in Sound Beach) 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. Old age – i.e. multiple cold winters and hot summers. If the chimney’s is leaky, it might quickly become a major issue if left unaddressed. With so much to gain from having correctly installed or maintained chimney, it’s always important to ensure that your chimney is kept in optimum working order.

Chimney Inspections

Many the chimneys that we repair are the same chimney that were installed when the chimney was first connected. The next factor that we would search for is if the bricks that are above the chimney need to be corrected Missing mortar joints also need to be repaired and or re-tuckpointed so that the water can pass by the chimney cap. Chimney cracks are one of the main reasons that chimney can leak past the chimney cap or crown. If your chimney’s is rusting and breaking away from your roof, Expressway’s team will replace all of the areas around the sections in question and help to keep your structure’s roof secured. Expressway regularly fixes chimneys that may no longer do its job in preserving a dwelling from penetrating water. Chimney harm usually begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline. If there are undiscovered cracks or compromises in this masonry, the harm could be faster and more pervasive. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other home building materials could be severely damaged by regular water infiltration. Because harm happens below the roof and out of sight, clients may not become aware of possible damage until a major safety and property danger occurs. We suggest you call Expressway to inspect your roof and chimney soon.
