Address Chimney Leaks Now

If you suspect your chimney is leaking, it is important to take care of the possible leaks immediately. Water leaks can cause extensive and expensive damage to a masonry chimney. According to the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA), deterioration of the bricks and mortar joints is accelerated in the winter because of the freeze/thaw cycles.

For over 25 years, we have been taking care of the leaky chimneys in the lower Hudson Valley region. Our CSIA-certified chimney technicians can diagnose the source of your chimney leak, make repairs, and prevent leaks for the future. We would like to tell you more about our professional chimney water penetration preventive services.

CHIMNEY CAP INSTALLATION

Address Chimney Leaks Now - Poughkeepsie NY - All Seasons ChimneyWithout a chimney cap, there is an opening on the top of your home. This allows rain, melted ice and snow to enter your home through the chimney. Having a chimney cap is the most economical way for homeowners to prevent water penetration of their masonry chimneys. They are made of copper, stainless steel, and other metals, and they are available in many sizes and shapes. At All Seasons Chimney, we can help you pick out the perfect cap. Our CSIA-certified chimney technicians can also install it to protect your chimney more efficiently.

FLASHING CONSTRUCTION AND REPAIR

One of the most common spots for water leaks is the area where the chimney meets the roof, the flashing. The best protection for this vulnerable spot is a customized flashing system. Flashing can easily get damaged during storms and other elements of weather, and that is why we offer flashing repairs as well.

If you do not have a system in place to properly protect your chimney, we can construct a new customized flashing system. We take precise measurements of your chimney to cut the exact sizes of metal sheeting needed. Then we wrap this metal sheeting in layers and embed them into your chimney and roof. After we finish wrapping and layering the sheeting, we then caulk the corners and any gaps to make sure there is a watertight seal for best protection against water.

Certification Matters

Owning a home involves many maintenance responsibilities to keep all of its systems working efficiently and safely. Despite the “do it yourself” nature of some individuals, a trained and certified professional must perform some tasks. A Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) certified chimney sweep should always perform your annual chimney sweeping and inspection responsibilites. For over 25 years, All Seasons Chimney has provided professional chimney maintenance, repair, and installation services to the lower Hudson Valley region. Our chimney sweeps have also received certifications from the CSIA. This certification means a great deal to us as well as to our customers. We would like to tell you a bit more about the CSIA and why its certification matters.

What is the CSIA?

Certification Matters - Poughkeepsie NY - All Seasons ChimneyIn 1983, the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) was founded as a non-profit educational organization. They provide training and certification to chimney and fireplace professionals. Known as the leader in chimney and venting education, the CSIA also promotes fire safety awareness to the public.

What does it mean to be certified by the CSIA?

The CSIA provides education and training for chimney and venting professionals to receive nationally recognized credentials with certification opportunities that include the CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep and the CSIA Certified Dryer Exhaust Technician programs. To become certified, industry professionals can take review courses online or in person. These coures go over publications about the necessary codes, standards, and practices involved with chimney and venting systems. The CSIA also provides hands-on intense training at their state-of-the-art Technology Center, which is located at their headquarters just outside Indianapolis. After reviewing the practices and publications, the professionals must pass an exam to receive certification.

Why does CSIA certification matter to me?

You can also rest assured that a CSIA-certified professional will treat you honestly and fairly. At the time of the certification exam, professionals must sign the CSIA Code of Ethics. When they sign this code, they pledge to keep up with their education, to behave professionally on each job, and to provide honest and fair services to every customer.
