Westchester Chimney Flashing Repair

#1 Team in Westchester for Chimney Repair!

All sorts of problems can be caused by a leaking chimney, which means you may need some flashing repair. That is why the professionals at Guaranteed Home Improvement of Westchester work so diligently to ensure your home is safe and that the chimney is able to be used properly. We provide a wide array of services to chimneys across Westchester, including our chimney waterproofing services. Waterproofing the chimney often means that repair work is done to the flashing.

Signs You Need Chimney Flashing Repair

A properly installed chimney flashing can last upwards of 30 years when done correctly. But this lifespan is determined by some important details, like where you live, the shape and size of your chimney, and the materials used to make it. And there are certain signs you might need professional chimney repair. Here are those signs:

Leaks from the inside or outside of the chimney.
Evidence of dripping, like puddles forming.
Sounds of dripping.
Rust stains.
Water stains on interior ceilings or walls adjoining the chimney.
Discolored bricks.
Visible gaps in the caulking around the flashing.

One aspect to take notice of when it comes to leaks in the home is if you are noticing water inside your firebox, which might not be a flashing issue. Instead, that can be an issue with the chimney cap, which is also an aspect our chimney team can handle. Unfortunately, due to the location of most chimneys, you may not notice water damage until it is too late and has already penetrated into the roofing. If it damages the roof flashing, then there may be constant moisture in the attic or ceiling, which leads to wood rot and drywall damage. With our chimney flashing repair, we can effectively fix these issues for you and do so at an affordable price.

Chimney Flashing Repair Importance

Many calls for a chimney inspection for leaks wind up coming down to issues with the flashing. The flashing is a sheet of metal that is installed to ensure a waterproof seal between the chimney and the roof. It needs to be watertight, as otherwise water can easily seep into the foundation of the home. However, the flashing is not particularly durable and needs to be periodically inspected and replaced. Our Westchester chimney flashing repair team can fix your flash, thus ending any leak issues you may be experiencing. Get a new installation today!

Chimney Flashing Repair

Recaulk the Flashing

When we repair the chimney flashing we also recaulk it. The caulking around the flashing where the chimney meets the roof wears away over time. When we do this task, we make sure that there is a watertight seal around the flashing. This way no water can seep in and freeze and expand. If necessary, we also remove old caulking and recaulk the area.
