What Does A Chimney Repair Address?

Chimneys secure the spot atop the chimney from water aggressing where the roof joins the chimney. A chimney is one of the most essential systems of a property’s integrity. Chimney damage is rarely seen – or even noticed – until something goes wrong with it. Chimney repairs are vital to prevent your Town Of Huntington structure from water intrusion. Chimney repairs are generally made with cement or thin metal (tin, steel or aluminum) that is typically mounted beneath your roof’s shingles. If water gets past the chimney cap, there is nothing left to halt it from eroding your structure’s walls and ceilings.

A chimney repair is usually made with concrete or metal – spread or screwed to fit securely around the top of your chimney. If water is allowed to enter into your home through a gap caused by damages or missing chimney cap, there should be major cause for damage.
