Chimney Repair Near Town Of Brookhaven

What Does A Chimney Repair Fix?

A rooftop chimney is your Town Of Brookhaven home’s major line of defense against water harm. A chimney is one of the most important parts of a structure’s integrity. Chimney damage is rarely seen – or even noticed – until something goes wrong with it. When roof or chimney repair becomes problematic, it loses its resistance to water insertion and leaks cause a host of other harm. The chimney caulking used to keep your chimney in place will slowly erode, making the roof vulnerable to leaks. Chimney repair is your fist line of defense from water damage.

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 enter into your property through a gap caused by damages or missing chimney cap, there should be major cause for leaks. Expressway provides chimney services, preventative maintenance and chimney inspections to defend the chimney as well as your roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration caused by excessive water intrusion.

Checking For Chimney Complications

Following a storm, walk around your structure and check 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. Our expert chimney techs will find the source of the problem and repair it ASAP. On your residence’s roof, do you see mold, algae, mildew or fungus growth? Are there some shrinking, blistering or curling shingles? Is there any water damaging into the attic or into walls that you can see?
