Put An End To That Chimney Leak With Our Professional Flashing Repair Services

Noticing water-damage along the ceilings and walls around your chimney? The roof may not be to blame! The area where your chimney exits the roof is an area that’s quite vulnerable to leaks, which is why it should be carefully and professionally sealed with proper flashing.

What Is Flashing?

Flashing refers to the layered metal sheets that cover the area where the chimney exits the roof. These metal sheets are overlapped and layered on the roof and base of the chimney stack to prevent water from entering. Unfortunately, we discover flashing leaks on a regular basis due to poor installation and maintenance. Here are the most common causes of flashing failure:

• Strong winds or animals have lifted the flashing, allowing water to seep down into the joints where the chimney and roof meet.
• Flashing has been improperly or inadequately installed, rendering it ineffective or causing it to rust and gap.
• Strong winds or animals have dented the flashing, allowing water to pool and eat through the flashing.
• House settling has caused flashing to separate and allow water in.

The best way to know whether your flashing is responsible for your leak (and to detect these leaks early on) is to have your chimney inspected by one of our Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) certified professionals. We’ll evaluate the flashing, checking for proper installation and effectiveness, and pinpointing areas of concern or weakness
