Chimney Flashing Repair From Local Pros in Cheval
Each part of the flashing repair is explained before any metal comes off the roof.
The apron across the downhill face
The face of the chimney that looks down the roof gets a one-piece apron. It lies over the roof covering below, turns up the masonry, and its ends wrap onto the sides so the step flashing above tucks over them. Water coming down both sides of the chimney runs out across the apron and onto the roof.
A bent, rusted or short apron lets water run back under the roof covering right at the front of the chimney, which is a frequent place for a ceiling stain to appear. Replacing the apron is sometimes all a flashing repair needs, and our specialists tell you when that is the case.
Flashing metal that resists corrosion
Section R903.2.1 of the Florida residential code requires metal flashing to be corrosion resistant, with minimum thicknesses for each metal set out in Table R903.2.1. Thin or unsuited metal can wear through long before the roof around it.
Your estimate names the metal we propose for your chimney in Cheval and why it suits the roof covering and the masonry it touches. When the old flashing is rusting through, putting back the same thin material only restarts the clock, so our specialists explain the better options and price each one.
Making sure the flashing is the leak
A stain near the chimney does not prove the flashing is at fault. A cracked crown, an open flue, porous brick or a rusted chase top can all send water down to the same ceiling. Replacing sound flashing to chase a leak from somewhere else wastes money and leaves the drip.
Our pros check the other water paths during the same free inspection and tell you which one the evidence points to. If the flashing is sound, you hear that too, along with what does need attention.
After a storm passes
High wind can peel counter flashing out of its joint, bend an apron or drop debris that dents the metal. From the ground you may see a strip of metal standing away from the chimney, or pieces of it in the gutter.
Stay off the roof, especially while it is wet. Tell our team what you saw and where, and we will look at the chimney, the flashing and the roof covering around it, then give you a written price for what the storm damaged.
