Jericho, LI’s Top Prefab Chimney Company

The chimney is one of the most taken-for-granted things of a house. A Home’s chimney tends to not receive the attention or the concern usually afforded other alarming household systems. Chimneys perform several essential functions & their simple appearance misrepresents their complex construction & performance requirements. Regular chimney maintenance is key to prevent weakening, deterioration & future dangerous, high-cost chimney fixes.

Improperly lined chimneys could cause a number of upscale structural and cosmetic issues for the property owner & also create potentially essential safety hazards. Masonry products deteriorate quickly when exposed to the extreme freeze/thaw processes of Jericho, in which moisture that has penetrated the products periodically freezes and expands causing undue stress. A stone chimney acts and seems to be like a brick chimney and it may also be protected from the effects of water penetration. Chimney caps, also called rain covers, are probably the most inexpensive preventive measure that a consumer can employ to prevent water penetration and issues to the chimney. Defective mortar joints or the use of shoddy mortar or brick might greatly increase the tendency to absorb & convey water to the interior of the masonry chimney.
