Roslyn Heights, LI’s Top Prefab Chimney Contractor

The chimney is one of the most taken-for-granted things of a home. The fact that chimneys will do their job fittingly, even when damaged, contributes to this thought that ‘it’s probably fine’. A chimney deteriorated by constant exposure to the weather might be a potential safety hazard. Regular chimney maintenance is paramount to prevent problems, deterioration & future troublesome, high-cost chimney repairs.

Improperly lined chimneys could cause a number of ritzy structural and cosmetic problems for the consumer & also create potentially pivotal safety hazards. Expressway repairs trouble to all parts of your fireplace or chimney. Whether the owner wants a chimney repointing, chimney repairs to missing or loose bricks, repair of a leaking chimney crown, broken flue liner or other chimney problem. Water in the chimney also begins rust in steel & cast iron, weakening or destroying the metal parts. Chimney caps have long been recognized as an important chimney safety and damage-prevention component. Common brick is like a sponge, absorbing water and wicking moisture to the chimney interior. Our technicians can advise you in your own unique situation what is best for you. For a metal, brick or fabricated chimney repair estimate call or text us at 631.388.7555.

One of the least expensive parts of the chimney venting system is the one that can prevent some of the most pricey leaks. If you don’t have a chimney cap on your chimney, stop reading and call Roslyn Heights’s local roofing experts for an estimate now! Every chimney technician knows that a safe chimney cap is a must. The job of the chimney cap is to stop rain from entering the flue & to stop pests from building nests in your chimney or using the chimney for a doorway into your property. Chimney caps also come with spark mesh to prevent stray airborne particles that are still burning from exiting onto your roof. Chimney dampers could help prevent water penetrations, heat loss and keep you warm and saving you money. It’s the perfect upgrade for fireplace chimneys in older houses that seldom have a damper. It is sometimes hard to believe how industrious animals & birds might be over the summer crafting a wonderfully cozy nest right inside your chimney.

Metal fireboxes, liners and dampers all will suffer rust & deterioration. Chimney liner tiles and mortar could crumble & crack leading to pivotal issues. The chimney cap cover deflects the rain and the side mesh areas prevent pests and leaves from entering the chimney. A rightly fitted chimney cap or guard can slow down wear-and-tear on your chimney & lining, potentially saving you from large repair fees.

Our chimney repair and installation technicians are very knowledgeable about all types of chimney caps, guards & dampers. Water begins more harm than any other element. It soaks into porous bricks and wears away at the mortar. A chimney cap that covers all flues will protect you from costly repairs. Chimneys could block the correct ventilation & even enter your residence, potentially spreading disease and wreaking havoc. Our strong mesh & lids will keep even the most determined animals out! Your fireplace will spew sparks out into the environment, onto the roof or nearby flammable products. 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 will depend on the type of deposits. A flue lining in a masonry chimney is defined as “a clay, ceramic or metal liner. Thermocrete has undergone rigorous UL Listing and it is an approved liner for gas and oil. Composite chimney lining system that gets inflated into the chimney flue and steam pressure is added to harden the resin, turning it into hard composite liner. A stainless steel chimney liner is air and water tight.

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. The liner protects the house from heat transfer to combustibles. In the NBS tests, unlined chimneys allowed heat to move through the chimney so rapidly that the adjacent woodwork caught fire in only 3 1/2 hours. 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 properly-sized flue for optimum efficiency of appliances. Modern wood stoves & gas or oil furnaces require a precisely-sized flue to perform exactly. Our obvious function is to remove flue deposits & evaluate the complete condition of the chimney system.

The required cleaning frequency could depend on amount of use, the type of installation, the type of fuel & the burning habits of the property owner. Chimneys should be cleaned when accumulations of soot and creosote approach or exceed 1/4 inch. Accumulations of glaze in addition to 1/8 inch may be removed. Our technicians employ multiple cleaning methods to remove chimney deposits. Frequent (at least annual) chimney consultations are the only way to know when the chimney is in need of fixing.
