With most of the country in freezing conditions right now, it's important to think about how that cold weather affects your home. Freezing temperatures mean ice, and ice can be dangerous in a lot of ways. You may prioritize salting your walkways and driveways, but don't forget that ice can be damaging to your chimney as well.
Ice can loosen the bricks on the outside of your chimney, making it susceptible to water leakage. You'll want to have a professional in NYC chimney repair and installation install a proper flashing system - sheets of metal wrapped around your chimney - to prevent damage to that area. If your existing flashing system needs repair, they can help with that as well. Call a professional today for a maintenance check to proactively prevent ice damage.
