Chimneys can develop leaks in multiple areas, and it’s crucial to identify the source of the leak quickly to prevent water damage to your home.
Homeowners should look for specific signs to identify a potential chimney leak, such as water stains on walls or ceilings near the chimney, dampness or mold in the area, a damaged chimney crown or flashing, and efflorescence on the masonry surface. If you notice any of these signs, contact a professional roofing or chimney contractor to inspect and identify the source of the leak.
Prompt attention to chimney leaks can prevent further damage to your home and ensure that your chimney functions properly.
Chimney parging involves applying a thin layer of cement or mortar to a chimney’s walls. Homeowners may choose to have their chimney parged for several reasons.
It can improve safety by sealing cracks that allow gases and smoke to escape into the home. Parging can also increase energy efficiency by improving the chimney’s insulation. Aesthetically, a parged chimney can give a cleaner and more polished appearance while covering unsightly damage.
Additionally, parging can prevent water damage and further damage to the chimney’s structure. Overall, chimney parging is a great way to improve the safety, efficiency, and appearance of a home. Contact Gotz Roofing Inc. today to learn more about our chimney parging services and how we can help.
Chimneys may need to be demolished for a variety of reasons, including substantial structural damage, liability concerns, impediment to planned construction, or no longer being in use.
A leaning or unstable chimney might represent a major safety danger, necessitating its demolition. Also, it may be less expensive to demolish a disused chimney than to continue with maintenance.
However, demolishing a chimney is not a DIY project and should be done only by a professional. Gotz Roofing Inc. has the knowledge and experience to demolish your chimney securely and effectively while causing the least amount of interruption to your home and property.Â
