Flashing Repairs
A chimney flashing repair involves fixing or replacing the metal (usually aluminum, galvanized steel, or copper) that seals the joint between the chimney and the roof. A chimney flashing is crucial because it prevents water from seeping into the roof structure where the chimney penetrates.A chimney flashing prevents water leaks, protects the roof and structural components, maintains masonry health, and preserves home energy efficiency.
There are certain signed that your flashing needs repair, such as Visible rust or corrosion, gaps or separations between flashing and chimney/roof, water stains on ceilings near the chimney, and/or loose or missing flashing sections.
A proper chimney flashing is essential for long-term protection of both the chimney and the home. Ignoring flashing issues almost always leads to more extensive and expensive water damage.
