What Goes Into Chimney Flashing That Stays Dry
The flashing inspection is free, and same-day visits are possible when the schedule allows.
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.
The right sealant for a chimney joint
Sealant has a real job in flashing, though a small one: closing laps and the top edge of counter flashing. Technical Note 19B names polysulfide, butyl and silicone sealants for joints in chimney work and advises against oil-based caulks, with proper priming and backing where a joint needs them.
The wrong product dries hard, shrinks away from the masonry and opens a gap. Our specialists match the sealant to the surfaces it joins and use it where it helps. Missing or rusted metal is replaced with metal.
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 Temple Terrace.
Making sure the flashing is the leak
A stain near the chimney does not prove the flashing is at fault. A cracked crown, an open flue, porous brick or a rusted chase top can all send water down to the same ceiling. Replacing sound flashing to chase a leak from somewhere else wastes money and leaves the drip.
Our pros check the other water paths during the same free inspection and tell you which one the evidence points to. If the flashing is sound, you hear that too, along with what does need attention.

Have the flashing fixed within 72 hours of your free inspection and save 10%.
