Chimney Repair and Roof Flashing
Chimney Repair and Roof Flashing in Galway
Project Overview
Chimneys are particularly exposed to wind and rain, making sound masonry and properly installed roof flashing important for protecting a property. Damaged mortar joints or defective flashing can allow moisture to enter the roof and surrounding walls.
The Roofing Challenge
Cracked mortar, deteriorating brickwork and damaged flashing can contribute to leaks around a chimney. Identifying the source of the problem is essential to ensure that repairs address the underlying defect rather than just the visible signs of water damage.
Repair and Restoration
The appropriate repair may involve renewing damaged mortar joints, addressing defective flashing and repairing affected sections of masonry. The work required depends on the chimney's condition and the extent of the damage.
Protecting Your Property
Timely chimney maintenance can help reduce water ingress and prevent further deterioration of masonry and adjoining roofing materials. Regular inspections are particularly useful when cracks, damp patches or loose mortar become noticeable.
