Professional Local East Patchogue Chimney Company

The chimney is one of the most taken-for-granted components of a residence. The fact that chimneys could do their job well, even when discounted, contributes to this aura of ‘it’s probably fine’. Chimneys perform several pivotal functions and their simple appearance misrepresents their complex construction and performance requirements. Leaky or deteriorated flue liners of masonry chimneys could become soft, cracked or otherwise problematic – such that it/they no longer have the ability to control and contain the serious by-products of combustion.

Each year there are thousands of cases of carbon monoxide poisonings due to erroneously lined chimneys. Masonry products deteriorate quickly when exposed to the extreme freeze/thaw processes of East Patchogue, in which moisture that has penetrated the products periodically freezes and expands causing undue stress. While most stone is not affected by water penetration, large amounts of mortar are required to bond the stone rightly. Chimney caps have long been recognized as an important chimney safety and issue-prevention part. Common brick is like a sponge, absorbing water and wicking moisture to the chimney interior. 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 roof shingles, siding or nearby trees.
