The Roof Line Around Your Chimney, Explained
The flashing inspection is free, and same-day visits are possible when the schedule allows.
The uphill face of the chimney
Everything that runs down the roof above the chimney meets its back face. Water can pile up there in a heavy storm, along with leaves and grit that hold moisture against the metal. The back flashing has to reach well up the roof under the covering and turn up the masonry high enough to stay above that flow.
On a wide chimney, a cricket or saddle splits the water around it. Florida's residential code, in section R903.2.2, requires one on the ridge side once the chimney is wider than 30 inches across the slope. Our pros measure yours, and if a cricket is needed it is quoted as its own job.
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.
Testing the roof line with water
When the source is still unclear, a controlled water test can separate the flashing from the parts above it. A hose wets one small area, beginning at the lowest point and moving higher only when the last area stayed dry, while a helper indoors watches for the first drip. That order follows diagnostic field practice such as AAMA 501.2.
Testing the flashing before the crown or the brick above keeps the answer clear. Our team schedules the test when the roof is dry and someone can watch from inside, and the result shapes the repair you are quoted.
What the attic can tell you
If you can reach the attic safely, look at the framing beside the chimney after a rain. Dark or damp wood, water lines on the rafters or a wet patch of insulation next to the masonry help show where water is coming in.
Tell us what you saw when you arrange the visit, even if it is only a darker patch of wood. Our team combines it with what we find on the roof, and the inspection costs you nothing either way.
