Flashing Details Our Specialists Get Right
Flashing repairs in Tampa Heights start at the roof line with a free inspection, and every option is priced in writing.
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 Tampa Heights start every flashing job by looking at the whole junction, all four sides, before recommending anything.
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.
After a storm passes
High wind can peel counter flashing out of its joint, bend an apron or drop debris that dents the metal. From the ground you may see a strip of metal standing away from the chimney, or pieces of it in the gutter.
Stay off the roof, especially while it is wet. Tell our team what you saw and where, and we will look at the chimney, the flashing and the roof covering around it, then give you a written price for what the storm damaged.
Checking flashing during yearly service
A yearly inspection is what NFPA 211, the national chimney and venting standard, calls for. Flashing belongs in that look, because a lifted edge or a failing bead of sealant is far easier to fix before it lets water in.
When our pros sweep or inspect your chimney in Tampa Heights, they check the flashing from the roof and mention anything worth watching. Small fixes can sometimes be handled on the same visit.
