Flashing Repair & Installation Services

Is Your Chimney’s Flashing Leaking?

Waterproofing the intersection where your chimney meets the roofline is crucial for preventing leaks, and that’s precisely the role of chimney flashing. Constructed from metal strips designed to integrate seamlessly with your shingles, flashing provides a critical barrier against water intrusion. However, despite its importance, flashing is not immune to problems, and when these issues arise, they can lead to significant water damage within your home.

Common Flashing Problems and Their Consequences

• Problems With Flashing Installation – For flashing to fulfill its function effectively, it must be installed meticulously, ensuring there are no gaps, excessive nail holes, or dents. Unfortunately, improper installation is all too common, resulting in pathways for water intrusion that can lead to chimney leaks and subsequent water damage within the home.

The Need for Quality Materials and Regular Inspections

Although high-quality copper and stainless steel flashings are built to resist weather damage and stay corrosion-free for years, not all materials maintain their integrity under extreme conditions. For enduring protection, it’s essential that flashing is not only made from superior materials but also correctly installed. Regular monitoring for any damage, gaps, or lifted areas is crucial for maintaining its effectiveness.

Moreover, the role of annual chimney inspections conducted by Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA)-certified professionals cannot be overstated. Such inspections are key to identifying issues with your flashing (and other potential chimney concerns) early on, preventing the escalation of damage and avoiding extensive repair costs in the future.
