Chimney Flashing

Chimney Flashing Repair and Installation

Contractors constructed your chimney with sufficient protection around all vulnerable areas where water damage could happen. The protective products are called flashing, and the flashing provides a supplemental layer of protection at points where the chimney and roof lines meet. The installation involves overlapping the stainless steel products in extra layers to meet the demands of the structure.

The flashing could also be constructed of copper or aluminum, and it is fitted to lie flush with the chimney. Contractors often add urethane caulking to seal the flashing and create a more waterproof barrier around the chimney edges.
As the flashing performs its function, conditions such as the structure settling, pests, and severe storms can present some problem areas. Even if the problem is minor, it should be addressed quickly before it grows into a more costly issue that could threaten your budget.

Some Common Flashing Repairs Include:
  • Missing Flashing. Flashing that is missing altogether must be replaced promptly to provide the required level of protection for the chimney and connecting installations. The installations could become loose or displaced during severe storms and high winds. Once the flashing is out of place, the chimney is at risk of major water and structural damage. It is paramount that you set up repair services promptly to lower the risk of additional damage.
  • Corrosion. Corroded metal that leads to rust and holes in the flashing could present serious risks to the property and the chimney. Over time, metal flashing can be compromised because of exposure to the elements, and the climate in your local area is a contributing factor to the damage. If you see any signs of corrosion or rust on your chimney flashing, report it to your dedicated service provider and have it replaced. Corrosion can spread to other metal fixtures and compromise more surface area, including your roofing. If you have a metal roof, the rust could take it over as well.
  • Decay and Openings. Decay and openings in the flashing present a recipe for disaster, and it will present you with additional damage. At any sign of decay, the flashing must be replaced.
  • Damaged Caulking. Caulking that is worn and no longer sealing the chimney must be replaced to present a waterproof barrier around the edges of the chimney. Our technicians can replace the barrier to seal the chimney for you.
  • Wide Open Spaces. Open gaps where the caulking was installed could present a risk of not just damage, but they can offer an entry point for pests and other critters.

Each of these problems requires fast action, and it is imperative that you set up chimney repairs as soon as you notice these issues to prevent them from expanding and affecting surrounding areas.
