Chimney Repair Near Wading River

What Is The Need Of Regular Chimney Repairs?

Chimneys protect the section atop the chimney from water infiltrating where the roof joins the chimney. A chimney is one of the most essential systems of a home’s integrity. Chimney damage is rarely seen – or even noticed – until something goes wrong with it. When roof or chimneys become damaged, it loses its resistance to water invasion and leaks begin a host of other problems. Chimney repairs are almost always made with cement or thin metal (tin, steel or aluminum) that is most commonly mounted beneath your roof’s shingles. If water gets past the chimney cap, there is nothing left to prevent 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 get in into the dwelling through a gap caused by damages or missing chimney cap, there should be major cause for leaks.
