Flashing Details Our Specialists Get Right
Flashing repairs booked within 72 hours of the free inspection are 10% off. Here is how we keep water out at the roof line.
Where the roof meets the chimney
Every chimney punches a hole through the roof, and the opening around it is one of the hardest spots on a house to keep dry. Masonry and roof covering are different materials that move differently in heat and rain, so the gap between them is bridged with formed metal. The Florida Building Code, Residential, in section R903.2, requires flashing wherever a wall meets the roof and around roof openings, and this is exactly that kind of joint.
When that metal lifts, rusts or was never lapped correctly, rain finds the gap. Our pros in Beach Park start every flashing job by looking at the whole junction, all four sides, before recommending anything.
Flashing before hurricane season
Atlantic hurricane season, per the National Hurricane Center, spans June 1 to November 30. Wind-driven rain pushes water sideways and upward, which tests every lap and every loose edge in chimney flashing.
A flashing check before the season lets our pros reset lifted counter flashing and reseal laps while the weather still allows the work. It is a small job next to drying out a ceiling after a storm.
Water repellent comes after the flashing
A clear water repellent can reduce how much rain brick absorbs, yet it cannot close a gap at the roof line. Brick Industry Association Technical Note 6A advises repairing brick, mortar joints and other elements first, and it prefers penetrating coatings that let the wall release vapor.
If your chimney needs both, our pros repair the flashing first and then discuss whether a breathable repellent is worth adding. You decide on each part separately, each with its own upfront price.
Finishing the ceiling after the leak stops
A water stain stays after the leak behind it is fixed. Drywall and plaster also need time to dry before painting, or the stain can bleed back through the new coat.
Our team fixes the chimney side first and checks in once the next rains have passed without a new mark. Interior repairs can then go ahead on a dry ceiling, and you avoid repainting over a leak that is still active.
