CHIMNEY REPAIR NEAR WANTAGH, LONG ISLAND

What Does A Chimney Repair Avoid?

A rooftop chimney is your Wantagh dwelling’s major line of integrity against water problems. Your chimney is one of the most neglected spots in the maintenance of a dwelling ability to remain dry and keep your home’s inhabitants safe. Most homeowners don’t give a lot of thought to their Wantagh home’s (or business’s) chimney. When roof or chimney repair becomes leaky, it loses its resistance to water infiltration and leaks cause a host of other weakening. Chimney repairs are generally made with cement or thin metal (tin, steel or aluminum) that is usually mounted beneath your roof’s shingles. Chimney repair is your fist line of defense from water damage.

A chimney cap’s purpose is to hamper rain water and melting snow from infiltrating your structure. A chimney repair is usually made with concrete or metal – spread or screwed to fit securely around the top of the chimney. If water is allowed to enter into the structure through a gap caused by damages or missing chimney cap, there should be major cause for worry. Expressway provides chimney assessments, preventative maintenance and chimney assessments to defend the chimney as well as your roof and attic from the inevitable deterioration caused by excessive water penetration.

Checking For Chimney Damage

Even if your chimney looks good after a heavy rain or snow storm, there could still be underlying problems that could go unnoticed to a novice eye. If, when it starts to rain, you notice that there are spots in your structure that start to leak, call us immediately. Expressway’s expert chimney and roofing pros recommend you never let leaks go without address or repair for very long. Leaky roofs almost always cause additional problems to other parts of your residence which could include the growth of sickening mold and mildew… and that will then cost you 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?

Do I Need My Chimney Fixed Or Replaced?

A variety of factors can harm the chimney and initiate the need for either a chimney resealing or a full, new chimney replacement. Problem producers definitely include powerful winds that will displace the chimney material. Improperly installed chimneys or poor-quality cement or caulking used in the sealing process could be to blame. Workers on your home’s Wantagh roof may also inadvertently break or dislodge the chimney. A chimney that has deteriorated from the elements will generally cause more damage to your roofing system, as your chimney repair helps forestall water damage from occurring to the roof deck and shingle system. With so much to gain from having correctly installed or maintained chimney, it is important to ensure that the chimney is kept in fine working order.

Whether you have a chimney or fireplace that is equipped with masonry stone or brick – you’ll have to inspect the chimney for leaks.

Chimney Assessments

Many the chimneys that we repair are the same chimney that were installed when the chimney was first connected. Most of the time this could be repaired by cutting out the old deteriorated 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 fixed and or re-tuckpointed so that the water could pass by the chimney cap. Expressway’s team could visit your property and assess the integrity of your structure’s chimney system, identify whether your chimney needs to be fixed. If your chimney’s is rusting and breaking away from the roof, our team will replace all of the areas around the spots in question and help to keep your structure’s roof secured. Expressway regularly addresses chimneys that can no longer do its job in defending a property from infiltrating water. Chimney leakage usually begins to erode chimney masonry below the roofline. Property products also simply just develop leakage over time. Wall boards, insulation, electrical wiring and other property building products will be severely broken by regular water infiltration. Because harm happens below the roof and out of sight, property owners may not become aware of a leak until a major safety and property danger occurs. We suggest you call Expressway to check your roof and chimney soon.
