Is Your Chimney a Leak Zone?

A chimney might look great on your rooftop. Nevertheless, this fixture can be a source of significant leakage requiring corrective action from Orange County Roofers. How is this possible when chimneys are made of rock-solid brick or stone? Yes, they are. But the problems don’t develop in the chimney itself – they develop in the flashing or sealant. These elements create an airtight seal around the chimney base. When damaged, loosened, or worn out, cracks and holes can form. And in those holes and cracks can go a certain amount of rainwater.

When possible, an Orange County Roofing Company will use a special calk or cement to repair those cracks and holes. In extreme cases, replacement will be necessary. Either way, the corrective action will be relatively easy on your wallet. So don’t worry about cost. Just get the problem corrected before it does become a costly one.

At first glance, you might wonder how flashing can develop problems. After all, this element generally is made of durable galvanized steel. True enough. Over time, however, extreme weather can be brutal, causing significant deterioration to the material. The deterioration will be visible as cracks and holes, popular entryways for rainwater. When the steel degrades to this point, it’s time for Orange County Roofers to intervene.
