Chimney Flashing Work for Bayshore Beautiful Homes
The pieces our flashing crew checks, resets and rebuilds on a visit in Bayshore Beautiful.
Laps that point the right way
Flashing is laid the way shingles are. Each higher piece goes over the lower one, so water always crosses a lap from the top and keeps moving. Technical Note 19B asks for at least two inches of lap where flashing is installed in sections, with the higher piece over the lower.
A lap installed backward catches water and feeds it under the metal. It can look neat from the ground and still leak in every storm. Checking the direction and length of each lap is part of the free inspection our team does on chimneys in Bayshore Beautiful before quoting a flashing repair.
Sealing the joints you cannot see
Brick Industry Association guidance calls for sealing all joints and laps in chimney flashing, including the unexposed side of bends. Those hidden faces are where water creeps along the metal by capillary action and slips past a lap that looks tight from outside.
Our pros seal each lap as the piece goes in, before the next one covers it. You cannot see that step once the job is done, which is why it is written into the scope of your estimate along with the metal and the method.
Mortar joints that hold the counter flashing
Counter flashing is only as secure as the joint it is set into. Soft, sandy or missing mortar lets the metal loosen and water slip behind it, so those joints are repointed before new counter flashing goes in.
The National Park Service's repointing guidance asks for a mortar weaker and more breathable than the surrounding brick, so the joint gives before the brick does. Our pros choose a mortar that suits your chimney's brick when they rebuild the joints along the flashing line.
Brick at the roof line
The courses just above the roof can stay wet longer than the rest of the chimney, especially where flashing has been leaking behind them. Spalled faces, crumbling corners and cracked units at that line make it hard to seat new counter flashing securely.
Our specialists check those courses when the old flashing comes off and price any brick replacement on its own line. Fixing the base first gives the new metal something solid to hold, and your estimate shows both steps before you decide.
