What Goes Into Chimney Flashing That Stays Dry
No hidden fees and no guesswork, just the metal, the method and the price in writing.
Aluminum flashing and fresh mortar
Aluminum flashing is light and easy to bend, and it has one weakness at a masonry chimney. The Brick Industry Association brief on flashing chimneys notes that the alkalis in fresh mortar attack aluminum, so a piece set into a new mortar joint can corrode where it is buried.
Our specialists take that into account when they choose metal for counter flashing that goes into the brick. Where aluminum suits the roof side, the pieces set in mortar may be a different, compatible metal. The choice is explained on your estimate so you know exactly what is going on the roof.
Keeping different metals apart
Put two unlike metals together in a wet joint, and one of them tends to corrode faster. The American Galvanizers Association explains that the zinc coating on galvanized steel is anodic to most other metals and is used up faster when it is in contact with them.
That is why the fasteners, clips and flashing pieces on a chimney should be compatible with each other. Our pros match them on every flashing repair in Valrico, so a new copper or stainless piece is never held down by a nail that rusts away beneath it.
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.
Flashing where a framed chase meets the roof
A framed chase is a wood-framed box with siding, and where it rises through a roof slope it meets the roof like a short wall. Its sides are flashed the way a sidewall is, with step flashing or a continuous L under the siding, as section R905.2.8.3 allows on shingle roofs.
Siding run tight onto the shingles, or trim nailed through the flashing, can let water into the framing. Our specialists check the chase walls, the trim and the flashing together and tell you if siding has to come off to reach the problem.
