Inside a Chimney Flashing Repair in East Tampa
Each part of the flashing repair is explained before any metal comes off the roof.
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 East Tampa start every flashing job by looking at the whole junction, all four sides, before recommending anything.
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 East Tampa 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.
Flashing on concrete and clay tile roofs
Tile roofs are flashed differently from shingle roofs. Section R905.3.8 of the Florida residential code calls for flashing and counterflashing where tile meets a vertical surface to follow the tile manufacturer's instructions and the FRSA/TRI installation manual for concrete and clay tile in high-wind areas, along with the code chapter itself.
Those details use pans, channels and formed metal that sit under and between the tiles. Our pros identify the tile profile first and plan the flashing around it, because a shingle-style repair on a tile roof leaves water paths the tile was never meant to cover.
Agreeing who does each side of the junction
Chimney flashing sits between two trades. The roof side ties into the roof covering, and the chimney side ties into the masonry. When two crews each assume the other is handling the joint, it can be left half done under a new roof.
Before work starts, our team puts in writing which pieces we install, which ones your roofer installs and in what order. That keeps the base flashing, the counter flashing and any cricket work in one sequence, and it gives you one clear record of who did what.
