Chimney Flashing Repair From Local Pros in Gibsonton
Local flashing pros, upfront pricing and a 100% satisfaction guarantee on every roof line we repair.
Working to the roofing manufacturer's details
Section R905.2.8.4 of the Florida residential code says chimney flashing on an asphalt shingle roof goes in according to the shingle manufacturer's printed instructions. Section R905.2.8.1 lists the options for base and counter flashing on those roofs, including a continuous metal L flashing at least four inches in each direction.
In practice, the details on your roof in Gibsonton depend partly on the shingle it carries. Our pros identify the roof covering before they order metal, so the repair matches what the roof was designed to accept and the shingles lie flat over the new pieces.
Aluminum flashing and fresh mortar
Aluminum flashing is light and easy to bend, and it has one weakness at a masonry chimney. The Brick Industry Association brief on flashing chimneys notes that the alkalis in fresh mortar attack aluminum, so a piece set into a new mortar joint can corrode where it is buried.
Our specialists take that into account when they choose metal for counter flashing that goes into the brick. Where aluminum suits the roof side, the pieces set in mortar may be a different, compatible metal. The choice is explained on your estimate so you know exactly what is going on the roof.
Brick at the roof line
The courses just above the roof can stay wet longer than the rest of the chimney, especially where flashing has been leaking behind them. Spalled faces, crumbling corners and cracked units at that line make it hard to seat new counter flashing securely.
Our specialists check those courses when the old flashing comes off and price any brick replacement on its own line. Fixing the base first gives the new metal something solid to hold, and your estimate shows both steps before you decide.
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.
