Professional Local, Brightwaters Chimney Contractors

The chimney is one of the most taken-for-granted elements of a home. The fact that chimneys will do their job well, even when omitted, contributes to this thought that ‘it’s probably fine’. Chimneys perform several important functions and their simple appearance misrepresents their complex construction and performance requirements. Regular chimney maintenance is paramount to prevent issues, deterioration & future widespread, high-cost chimney repairs.

Incorrectly lined chimneys might cause a number of costly structural and cosmetic worries for the client and also create potentially essential safety hazards. Masonry products deteriorate quickly when exposed to the extreme freeze/thaw processes of Brightwaters, in which moisture that has penetrated the materials periodically freezes and expands causing undue stress. Water in the chimney also causes rust in steel and cast iron, weakening or destroying the metal parts. Chimney caps, also called rain covers, are probably the most inexpensive preventive measure that a property owner might employ to prevent water penetration & issues to the chimney. Installing chimney caps & dampers will protect your chimney and maintain a safe chimney damper. Caps and dampers keep out the weather, all animals and most debris – all while keeping sparks from leaving the chimney which might ignite nearby combustibles like your roofing shingles, siding or nearby trees.
