Chimney Caps & Damper Contractors For All LI

The chimney is one of the most under appreciated things of a property. The fact that chimneys could do their job well, even when neglected, contributes to this thought that ‘it’s probably fine’. Chimneys perform several pertinent functions & their simple appearance misrepresents their complex construction and performance requirements. Weather-damaged lining systems, flue obstructions and uplifted masonry products all present a threat to houses.

Each year there are thousands of cases of carbon monoxide poisonings due to imperfectly lined chimneys. Masonry products deteriorate quickly when exposed to the extreme freeze/thaw processes of East Williston, in which moisture that has penetrated the products periodically freezes & expands causing undue stress. A stone chimney acts and looks like a brick chimney and it might 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 will employ to prevent water penetration & harm to the chimney. Installing chimney caps & dampers will protect your chimney and maintain a safe chimney damper. Caps & dampers keep out the weather, all animals and most debris – all while keeping sparks from leaving the chimney which could ignite nearby combustibles like your roofing shingles, siding or nearby trees.

The liner protects the house from heat transfer to combustibles. 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 rightly-sized flue for optimum efficiency of appliances. The chimney is responsible for not only allowing the products of combustion a passage out of the house, but the draft generated by the chimney also supplies the combustion air to the appliance. Our prominent job is to remove flue deposits and evaluate the complete condition of the chimney system.

Our objective is to provide recommendations that could improve the safety and efficiency of your appliance and venting system. Chimneys should be cleaned when accumulations of soot & creosote approach or exceed 1/4 inch. Accumulations of glaze more than 1/8 inch should be removed. Our experts employ many cleaning techniques to remove chimney deposits. Frequent (at least annual) chimney estimates are the only way to know when the chimney requires replacing.
