Chimney Siding Repairs To Remedy Your Fort Lauderdale Chimney Leaks & Problems

Panela Roofing provides top-of-the-line chimney siding repairs in Fort Lauderdale. This home maintenance item is vital since a 100% dry seal is the only way to prevent water from seeping through cracks, into your chimney, and eventually into your home.

More than likely, your chimney is comprised of bricks and mortar on the "inside" and might be covered with siding on the outside. And if your home is older, chances are the flashing where the chimney meets the roof has worn out due to weather and the passage of time.

This makes chimney siding repair and maintenance an absolute necessity. With so many items to consider on your homeowners' to-do list, getting ahead of roof leak repairs should be at or near the top. And when it comes time for chimney siding repairs, turn to the No. 1 roofing contractor for Fort Lauderdale - Panela Roofing.

Chimney Cap Repair

While roof flashing directs water away from certain areas of your roof, including the chimney, tuckpointing, and chimney cap repair help maintain the actual structure of the chimney.

A chimney cap keeps out water, debris, and even critters that like to make themselves at home. These caps, while relatively easy to install, are best put in place, maintained, and prepared by a trusted roofing contractor like Panela Roofing.

So before you break out the stepladder, trowel, and mortar, give us a call, and we'll assess your chimney cap and devise a repair or replacement plan that suits your needs.

Siding Options For Your Chimney

Wood furring acts as a sort of base for the actual siding itself. It's the buffer required to prevent excessive heat buildup and mitigate the risk of fire.

In addition, options for chimney siding require serious consideration if you decide that painted cement, river rocks, or traditional bricks and mortar aren't your best option. In this case, your choices commonly include:

• Wood
• Vinyl
• Masonry
• Aluminum

Chimney siding should never be hot to the touch when you have a fire going. There is a serious problem if this is the case. Because chimneys are designed to handle very high temperatures and the exhaust of smoke, they need to be properly structured and insulated, possibly with a liner, for example. So, to increase your level of safety and decrease the likelihood of leaks, turn to Panela Roofing for chimney maintenance and chimney cap repairs.
