The Roof Line Around Your Chimney, Explained
Flashing repairs booked within 72 hours of the free inspection are 10% off. Here is how we keep water out at the roof line.
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.
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.
Stainless steel for flashing in masonry
For flashing built into masonry, the Brick Industry Association brief recommends stainless steel conforming to ASTM A240, Type 304, and does not recommend galvanized steel. Stainless is stiff, so its bends and corner pieces take more care to form than softer metals do.
Our specialists quote stainless where it fits the job and your budget, and they say plainly when another corrosion-resistant metal will serve your chimney well. The metal, the method and the price all appear in writing before any work is scheduled.
Soft roof deck around a leaking chimney
Water that gets past the flashing soaks the roof deck around the chimney before it reaches a ceiling. By the time a stain shows inside, the plywood or boards at the chimney may already be soft.
When the roof covering comes up, our pros check the deck at the chimney. Damaged decking is handled with your roofer or priced on its own line, and it is repaired before new flashing goes down, so the metal is fastened into sound wood.
