Our company is always looking to educate our customers about the benefits of healthy roofs, chimneys and guttering systems. Here, our roofers outline some important signs to look out for that may indicate something wrong with the chimney on your Cobham home or premises.
If you notice any of the following issues with your property’s chimney, we strongly urge you to contact your local roofing company. Leaving them untreated will likely result in costly chimney repairs or even emergency roof repairs.
This could be linked to a buildup of creosote in your chimney. Creosote is a byproduct of burning wood that adheres to the flue’s liner. If it’s not cleared off, it will block smoke and other gases escaping through the chimney crown. If smoke lingers, it will cause unpleasant smells, and excessive creosote buildup could lead to a chimney fire.
If the mortar joints or masonry appear worn, you may have some structural issues or a potential collapse. Our team of roofers know just how dangerous this can be for your home and your personal safety. If the mortar joints, masonry, or leadwork in your chimney fails, it will also lead to water ingress, a common problem for pitched and flat roofing systems that can cause issues with timbers and walls. Roof leak repairs may be required to resolve any water-related problems.
Any damp or mould growing on your Cobham property is a strong indicator that you’re experiencing some form of leak or penetrating dampness. They cause structural issues within the building and can even lead to respiratory problems and other health concerns if they’re not properly treated. The sooner you spot any problems with damp and mould, the sooner a roofing company like us can help you.
Perhaps not a sign you may have thought of before. However, when cleaning the fireplace in your Cobham home, you may notice rust, which is a bad omen for your chimney and roofing system as a whole. Just like dampness and mould appearing on walls and ceilings, rust in the damper or firebox is proof that water is leaking through the chimney and affecting the fireplace’s metal components.
Whether you need chimney repairs, emergency roof repairs, roof leak repairs or any pitched and flat roofing services, Surrey Roofing Specialists are on hand to provide professional help. Contact us today to give your roof the treatment it needs.
