Chimney & Flashing Repair in Fremont, Nebraska

Chimney & Flashing Repair in Fremont means roofing built for the Nebraska climate - the heat, the humidity, and the storms. The Nebraska heat and the humidity feed the algae and the moss on the shaded slopes, and the tree debris coats the surface.

Signs Your Fremont Roof Needs Chimney & Flashing Repair

• Water stains on the ceiling near the chimney - the flashing has failed
• Rusted or lifted flashing - the metal has separated from the chimney
• Cracked mortar around the chimney - the masonry is failing
• Water in the fireplace during a storm - the flashing is not doing the job
• Damp or musty smell near the chimney - the moisture is trapped

Why Fremont Roofs Need Chimney & Flashing Repair

The thermal cycling is the main cause. The heat and the cool nights expand and contract the flashing.

The sun is the second cause. The UV dries out the sealant and the caulk.

Preventing Problems in Fremont

• Inspect the flashing each spring - the heat dries out the seals

• Re-seal the joints on schedule - the fresh sealant keeps the water out
• Keep the chimney cap in good shape - the cap keeps the water out of the flue

In Fremont, the chimney flashing is the most common leak point. The heat separates the metal and the storm rain finds the gap. The annual flashing check is the cheapest insurance for the chimney.
