What Goes Into Chimney Flashing That Stays Dry
The flashing inspection is free, and same-day visits are possible when the schedule allows.
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.
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.
Copper flashing and brick staining
Copper is a traditional flashing metal that weathers from bright to brown and then green, a look some homeowners like on a brick chimney. The same Brick Industry Association brief points out that copper can stain the masonry that its runoff crosses.
If a copper look matters to you, our pros talk through where the runoff will go and what that means for light brick or painted stucco. If it does not, another corrosion-resistant metal may be the simpler choice. Both are priced upfront, so the decision is easy to make.
Chimneys that pass through a metal roof
Standing seam and other metal roofs use trim and flashing pieces made to fit the panel profile. The chimney side of the joint still needs counter flashing set into the masonry, while the roof side follows the panel maker's details.
Our pros look at how the panels were finished at the chimney and whether the trim has been bent, lifted or sealed over. Where the roof side calls for the panel installer's own parts, we say so and coordinate with the roofer so nobody improvises a patch on your home in Progress Village.
