Signs Your East Northport 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 East Northport Roofs Need Chimney & Flashing Repair

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