The Importance Of Chimney Flashing
Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home as it keeps the rain and snow out of your home. It is crucial that your roof is in good shape if you want to preserve the value of your home. If your roof falls into disrepair water is going to get into your home and this can lead to expensive repairs and even mold damage that can reduce the value of your home. One of the weak areas of the roof is the chimney because there are often gaps and the chimney doesn’t line up completely flush against the roof. This is why you have chimney flashing around your roof.
Flashing creates a smooth seam between the roof and the chimney and it ensures that water doesn’t slip into the space between the roof and the chimney. When it comes to water leaks, one of the most common places that a roof is going to leak is around the chimney. Even flashing can eventually get old and pull away allowing water to run straight down the wall and into your home.
Inspect Roof & Chimney Flashing Regularly
If your home has a chimney you should check the walls for leaks once or twice a year or after heavy storms to ensure that your flashing isn’t leaking. If the flashing is leaking it is going to have to be repaired or replaced before it causes too much damage to your home. This is an easy repair, but if your roof is old and has other damage, you might want to think about having the roof replaced.
Take a look at your roof and inspect it yourself at any time by looking for loose or missing shingles. Old shingles will also start to curl up. If your shingles are not in the best condition you might need to think about replacing your roof. While replacing your roof is a big investment, it is much cheaper than having your roof leak and having to repair all the damage to your home. Once water gets inside of your home the entire house can start to deteriorate and you don’t want that to happen to you.
A good roofer can come and inspect your roof and check to see if you need to replace it or repair it. The roofer can fix the flashing so that it won’t leak and destroy the value of your new home. A leaking roof can quickly turn into a huge financial disaster which is something you are going to want to avoid. A roof is going to need to be replaced every 20 years or so, so you need to account for this expense when you purchase your home.
It is also a good idea to have your roof inspected so you know what kind of shape it is in and you can start getting financially prepared for the expense of having your roof replaced. When you do have your roof replaced you want to make sure the roofer is going to pay close attention to the chimney flashing and that the roofer is going to do a proper job of making the flashing waterproof. You must research the market for pricing so that you can get the best quality at best price on chimney flashing.
Reasonable & Guaranteed Work
Since the flashing is often the weak link on your roof, you want to make sure that it is going to be done right the first time so you don’t end up with any problems. Look for a roofing contractor that guarantees their work and always get multiple estimates before you decide who you want to work with. You want to make sure that the price is going to be reasonable and you should also make sure that the roofer is licensed and bonded.
Having your roof done is a huge job and it is something that you don’t want to take lightly. The cost to replace your roof is going to be huge and you are going to want to be prepared for the very large cost of replacing your roof every 20 years. Your roof is such an important part of your home and you have to make sure that it is always in good condition if you don’t want to end up with property damage.
A new roof can increase the value of your home and it can also add to the curb appeal of your home when you have your roof replaced. You can change the color of the shingles to modernize your home and give it a more contemporary look. Having a sound roof is crucial when you own a home and you can’t take any chances with your roof. It is important to keep your roof in great shape and that means inspecting around the chimney and around roof intake vents and inspecting the overall condition of your roof on a regular basis so that you never have to worry about your roof leaking or developing other issues.
