Chimney Flashing Repair From Local Pros in Northdale
Every flashing job we do in Northdale is built in layers, lapped downhill and backed by our workmanship warranty.
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.
Why the corners need extra care
The four corners of a chimney are where flashing has to change direction, and they are the hardest part to form. Brick Industry Association guidance has the base flashing start on the faces that run down the slope, with tabs folded around each corner so the next piece laps over them.
A corner cut square and filled with sealant has nothing behind the sealant once it cracks. Our specialists form or fold corner pieces so metal covers metal, then seal the laps. That detail takes longer, and it is the one that keeps a corner dry through storm after storm.
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.
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.
