Nearby East Meadow Brick Chimney Masons

The chimney is one of the most taken-for-granted components of a house. The fact that chimneys may do their job perfectly, even when discounted, contributes to this notion that ‘it’s probably fine’. A chimney deteriorated by constant exposure to the weather might be a potential safety hazard. Regular chimney maintenance is key to prevent complications, deterioration and future preventible, high-cost chimney repairs.

Haphazardly lined chimneys can cause a number of high-priced structural & cosmetic dilemmas for the homeowner and also create potentially critical safety hazards. Masonry products deteriorate quickly when exposed to the extreme freeze/thaw processes of East Meadow, in which moisture that has penetrated the materials periodically freezes & expands causing undue stress. A stone chimney acts and is like a brick chimney & it may also be protected from the effects of water penetration. A lot of masonry materials are porous and may absorb large amounts of water. Installing chimney caps & dampers may protect your chimney & maintain a safe chimney damper. Our pros only send fully-trained chimney cleaning experts to your structure that could live up to the guidelines of the CSIA (Chimney Safety Institute of America) and the NCSG (National Chimney Sweeps Guild), the two regulatory organizations for the chimney industry in the United States.

One of the least expensive parts of the chimney venting system is the one that may prevent some of the most upscale complications. If you don’t have a chimney cap on your chimney, stop reading & call Expressway Roofing & Chimney for an estimate now! Every chimney mason knows that a safe chimney cap is a must. The job of the chimney cap is to stop rain from entering the flue and to stop pests from building nests in your chimney or using the chimney for a doorway into your home. Chimney caps also come with spark shields to prevent stray airborne particles that are still burning from exiting onto your roof. Our chimney experts might recommend the best solution for your chimney. It’s the perfect upgrade for fireplace chimneys in older houses that rarely have a damper. Even just falling leaves might build up without the right chimney cap in place.

Rain is moisture and moisture is an enemy of a healthy fireplace & flue. Chimney liner tiles and mortar may crumble & crack leading to critical trouble. The chimney cap cover deflects the rain and the side mesh areas prevent pests & leaves from entering the chimney. Of course, appropriate chimney cleaning & maintenance are still recommended annually.

Our chimney repair and installation pros are very knowledgeable about all types of chimney caps, guards and dampers. Water causes more harm than any other element. It soaks into porous bricks and degrades at the mortar. A chimney cap that covers all flues may protect you from high-priced repairs. Chimneys could block the right ventilation and even enter your structure, potentially spreading disease & wreaking havoc. Our strong mesh and lids will keep even the most determined animals out! Your fireplace will spew sparks out into the environment, onto the roof or nearby flammable materials. Stray sparks may be stopped cold by the meshing cover that is a part of all of our chimney caps.

The method chosen or recommended for your chimney might depend on the type of deposits. The Thermocrete process coats the inside of the chimney from top to bottom with a highly durable ceramic sealant. Thermocrete has undergone rigorous UL Listing and it is an approved liner for gas & oil. Composite chimney lining system that gets inflated into the chimney flue & steam pressure is added to harden the resin, turning it into hard composite liner. A stainless steel chimney liner locks in moisture and flue gases in your chimney & keeps them out of your structure.

Stainless steel liners have been UL Tested under the most extreme conditions including multiple simulated chimney fires exceeding 2100F so you’ll sleep soundly at night knowing that your structure is safer for yourself and your family. Liners in chimneys serve 3 main functions. Liners protect the masonry from the corrosive byproducts of combustion. In the tests, it was determined that if the flue gases were allowed to penetrate to the brick and mortar, the result would be a reduction in the usable life of the chimney. Liners provide a correctly-sized flue for optimum efficiency of appliances. Modern wood stoves and gas or oil furnaces require a exactly-sized flue to perform exactly. An erroneously-sized liner may lead to additional creosote buildup in wood burning stoves & the production of carbon monoxide with conventional fuels.

The required cleaning frequency might depend on amount of use, the type of installation, the type of fuel and the burning habits of the customer. Chimneys should be cleaned when accumulations of soot and creosote approach or exceed 1/4 inch. Accumulations of glaze in excess of 1/8 inch might be removed. We employ a variety of cleaning systems to remove chimney deposits. Frequent (at least annual) chimney checks are the only way to know when the chimney requires help.
