Chimney Repair - Edmonton & Area
Whether the problem lies in the chimney flashing or the bricks and mortar, Weatherproof Roofing can help solve all your chimney repair needs. We can restore your old brick chimney to its former glory, allowing it to last for many years to come.
If you notice that your brick chimney is falling apart or is the cause of leaks, it's time to call the expert chimney repair team at Weatherproof Roofing. Deteriorating bricks will allow water in, causing damage to your chimney and home. Old chimney caps and metal chimney flashing can also cause leaks, especially if you’ve replaced your roofing system a few times without changing the metal chimney flashing. Have Weatherproof Roofing address the issue to provide you with a durable, leak-proof chimney.
The Importance of Chimney Flashing
In normal circumstances, metal chimney flashing keeps your chimney watertight. When it becomes compromised, however, it can lead to leaks. Some homeowners think quick repairs using caulking can save both time and money. Yet, caulking isn’t a suitable solution for fixing chimney flashing that’s causing leaks.
To work effectively, metal chimney flashing must be in good condition — free of rust and damage such as tears or holes. Plus, when you replace your chimney flashing, you must also change the asphalt shingles or cedar shakes on the roof deck around the chimney. This is because the step flashing is intertwined with the asphalt shingles or cedar shakes. The metal counter flashing must also be properly installed to make sure no water can seep in behind the step flashing. Weatherproof Roofing can replace and repair chimneys and chimney flashing to keep your home protected against the elements.
Brick Chimney Repair
A deteriorating brick chimney can be a painful sight, both aesthetically and structurally, as deteriorating bricks will ultimately damage surrounding asphalt shingles or cedar shakes. Worse still, a compromised chimney may let water into your home. At Weatherproof Roofing, we can repair and replace brick chimneys or give you a new stone finish. With new mortar, bricks, and a chimney cap, your chimney will not only be watertight, but it will look great, too. Have the expert brick chimney repair team at Weatherproof Roofing take care of all your chimney repair and chimney replacement needs.
Chimney Caps Replacement
We can replace cracked or deteriorating concrete caps with brand new caps. We can also replace faulty or rusty metal chimney caps.
Custom Chimney Repair
Chimney flashing repairs are typically custom projects. Since every roof is different, it’s best to let an expert do the job. You could tackle the repair yourself, but the issue may worsen if you install the flashing incorrectly. This could damage the integrity of your roofing system and cause additional leaks.
Safety is also important: you need to make sure you have the proper gear and tools. Chimney flashing installation and repair is not the best choice for a DIY project. If you need flashing repairs or replacement, give Weatherproof Roofing a call today for expert chimney flashing repair services in Edmonton that will keep your home watertight.
Chimney Stack Repair
Chimney stacks, chimney caps, and chimney collars can all be the cause of leaks. Rust and general wear and tear can create holes and rips which let water in and cause leaks. Be proactive — save your roof before it damages your greatest asset: your home.
