Inside a Chimney Flashing Repair in Bloomingdale
Each part of the flashing repair is explained before any metal comes off the roof.
Step flashing along the sides of the chimney
On a shingle roof, the sides of the chimney are usually flashed with step flashing: short bent pieces woven in with each course of shingles, so every piece sheds onto the shingle below it. Section R905.2.8.3 of the Florida residential code accepts either step flashing or one continuous L flashing along the sidewalls.
Step pieces that were face-nailed, skipped or cut short leave a path at every course. Our team lifts the shingles along the side, replaces the pieces that failed and weaves new ones in the same way the roof was built, then closes the side with counter flashing.
Lifting tile around the chimney without breaking it
Reaching the flashing on a tile roof means lifting or removing the tiles next to the chimney. Concrete and clay tile can crack under a careless step or a pry bar, and an older profile is not always easy to match.
Our team plans the access before the visit, sets aside the tiles that come off and tells you in advance if any are already cracked. If replacement tile is needed, sourcing it is discussed with you before work starts, so the roof goes back together the way you expect.
Reflashing during a new roof
The ideal moment to reflash a chimney is while the roof around it is open. The old covering is off, the base flashing is exposed and new metal can be woven into the new roof from the deck up.
If you are planning a new roof for your home in Bloomingdale, let us know before the roofers reach the chimney. Our specialists inspect the masonry and counter flashing at no charge, and the chimney side can be finished in step with the roof, so nobody has to tear into brand new shingles or tile later.
Flashing, crown and cap are separate jobs
The crown sheds water off the top of a masonry chimney, the cap covers the flue opening and the flashing seals the roof line. Section R1003.9.1 of the Florida residential code describes the crown as sloped, with a drip edge, and separated from the flue liners by a caulked bond break, a different part from the flashing below it.
All three get checked on one visit, since a leak at any of them ends up in the same ceiling. Each repair gets its own line and price, so you can see what the flashing work costs apart from anything else the chimney needs.
On any service we offer
Loose strip or full reflash, each is 10% off within 72 hours of the visit.
