Chimney Flashing —

is a layered system of metal and waterproofing that seals where a brick chimney meets the roof.

When chimney flashing is missing or installed improperly, water can travel behind the metal and cause recurring leaks around the chimney.

QUICK ANSWERS

Warning signs: Ceiling stains near the chimney, damp brick, deteriorated caulking, rusted flashing, or leaks that repeatedly return

Typical solution: Remove the shingles and old flashing, repair damaged decking, and install new membrane, step flashing, and custom counter flashing

Expected longevity: Life of the surrounding roof when properly installed

Pricing: Inspection required (dependent on chimney size, roof pitch, accessibility, and hidden wood damage)

Schedule an evaluation to determine whether the flashing—or the surrounding shingles and roof decking—needs repair.
