Spotting Chimney Leaks in Your Londonderry Home? 603 Chimney & Dryer Vent, LLC Can Help

As professional chimney sweeps, one of our biggest priorities is ensuring our customers’ chimneys are safe from water-related threats. In fact, most homeowners are surprised to learn that water is one of the more harmful substances masonry can come into contact with.

Here’s why…

Your brickwork is very porous, and it will absorb water like a sponge if it isn’t protected. Once the water is absorbed, your masonry will be subjected to something called the freeze/thaw process, which is common in this part of the country, where temperatures routinely drop below freezing during the evenings and rise again during the daytime. During the freeze/thaw process, water expands and contracts, causing the brickwork to crack, pop, and crumble. Over time, this damage makes the chimney susceptible to bigger leaks and structural issues, all of which become costly and time-consuming to address.

Along with this, excess water throughout your chimney system leads to deterioration throughout, rotted woodwork, rusted metal components, stains, mold growth, and a whole mess of other issues. That’s why prompt leaky chimney repairs and ongoing preventive maintenance are so important!

If you live in Londonderry or anywhere else in Hillsborough County, Rockingham County, Merrimack County, or Strafford County and are concerned about water in your chimney, give us a call. We have everything necessary to get your system where it needs to be.

We Offer Cap Replacements, Crown Repairs, Waterproofing & More

What do we offer in terms of leak repairs and prevention?

First things first: we can make certain you have an appropriately fitted and well-made chimney cap in place. It’s imperative that a chimney cap be installed correctly and made from sturdy, reliable materials so it can adequately protect your chimney from any rain, sleet, or snow that tries to work its way in.

We also offer crown and chase cover repairs, as well as flashing repairs. All of these components are essential when it comes to keeping water away from and out of your chimney’s most vulnerable spots.

Finally, there’s waterproofing, which is what ensures your brickwork doesn’t continue to break down over time. But trusting a pro with this job is a must. Our products provide reliable protection and coverage, while ensuring vapor and pre-absorbed moisture can still vent out. You won’t get that guarantee with many paints and store-bought sealers on the market.
