Chimney Repair Near Syosset

What Does A Chimney Repair Address?

A rooftop chimney is your Syosset residence’s major line of defense against water problems. A chimney is one of the most essential pieces of a residence’s integrity. Most clients don’t give a lot of thought to their Syosset home’s (or business’s) chimney. When roof or chimneys become leaky, it loses its resistance to water infiltration and leaks initiate a host of other problems. The chimney caulking used to keep the chimney in place can slowly erode, making your roof open to leaks. Replacing the chimney (or chimney sealants) from time to time could go a long way in water tightening the roof and cushioning your Syosset residence from water penetration.

A chimney cap’s purpose is to prevent rain water and melting snow from leaking your residence. If water is allowed to get in into the home through a gap caused by leaking or missing chimney cap, there should be major cause for worry. Expressway provides chimney services, preventative maintenance and chimney inspections to protect your chimney as well as your roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration caused by excessive water aggression.

Chimney Conditions To Look Out For

Even if your chimney looks good after a heavy rain or snow storm, there could still be underlying damage that can go unnoticed to a novice eye. Water stains could indicate the start of a chimney leaking problem. Expressway’s highly-skilled chimney and roofing pros recommend you never let leaks go without addressing for very long. Leaky roofs always cause additional problems to other parts of your structure – which can include the growth of adverse mold and mildew – and that could eventually cost you thousands more to fix. Are there obvious shrinking, blistering or curling shingles? Is there any water leaking into the attic or into walls that you can see?

How Does A Chimney Become Leaky?

A variety of things can harm the chimney and initiate the need for either a chimney fixing or a full, new chimney replacement. Squirrels, raccoons and other animals will 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 Syosset roof may also inadvertently break or dislodge the chimney. A chimney that has deteriorated from the elements can eventually cause harm to the roofing layout, as your chimney repair helps stop water damage from occurring to the roof deck and shingle system. With so much to gain from having properly installed or maintained chimney, it’s always critical to ensure that your chimney is kept in excellent working order.

Chimney repairs should last about 20 years in Syosset’s climate – but can fluctuate due to the amount of wear and tear caused by our climate, storms and other weather patterns.

Spotting Destructive Chimney Parts

Many of the chimneys that we repair are the same chimneys that were installed when the chimney was first built. Most of the time this may be addressed by cutting out the old blocked metal or brick chimney with an angle grinder and replacing the broken pieces with new brick or metal. Missing mortar joints also need to be repaired and or re-tuckpointed so that the water will pass the chimney cap. Expressway’s team can visit your property and assess the integrity of the home’s chimney design, identify whether the chimney needs to be resealed. Chimney inspection is a small maintenance task, but it’s one that you can’t afford to overlook. Expressway regularly replaces chimneys that can no longer do its job in protecting a residence from aggressive water. Property and roof products also simply just develop harm over time. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other structure building materials may be severely harmed by regular water infiltration. Mold is known to be dangerous to humans and pets and if water is aggressive down into your property, the growth could be widespread and very expensive to remedy. We suggest you call Expressway to test your roof and chimney soon.
