Chimney Flashing Repair & Installation: Experience Our Quality Craftsmanship

Your chimney was built with extra protection at all its vulnerable points – the places where water can potentially get in and cause damage. The chimney’s flashing adds a much-needed layer of protection where the roof line and chimney meet. It’s usually made of overlapping layers of stainless steel, aluminum, or copper, and is fitted specifically for your chimney. Urethane caulk is added around the edges to create a waterproof barrier.

Since the flashing is working hard to protect one of your chimney’s potentially vulnerable points, over time, problems can develop – sometimes due to things out of your control, like your home settling, storm damage, or animals. And small problems with your flashing, if not addressed, can lead to big, expensive issues later on.

What Are Some Common Flashing Repairs?

  • Flashing is missing altogether and needs to be replaced
  • The flashing metal has corroded, creating holes and spots of decay that are opening the chimney to leaks
  • Caulk has come loose, leaving gaps that should be repaired
  • Animals have tampered with the flashing, leaving it bent and vulnerable.
