What's a Chimney Flashing?

Chimney flashing is a critical component of your chimney's roofing system that seals the joint between the chimney and the roof to prevent water from leaking into your home. It consists of metal strips, usually made of lead panels, that are installed around the base of the chimney, ensuring a watertight seal where the chimney meets the roofline. Proper chimney flashing helps protect your home from water damage, mold, and structural issues caused by leaks.

Water Leaks Around the Chimney:

If water is leaking into the home around the chimney, it could be due to damaged, cracked, or improperly installed flashing that allows water to seep in.

Visible Rust or Deterioration of Flashing:

Over time, flashing can rust or corrode, losing its ability to protect the chimney from water intrusion, which may lead homeowners to seek repairs or replacement.

Moss or Mold Growth:

The presence of moss, mold, or mildew around the chimney or roofline can indicate water infiltration due to faulty flashing.

Missing or Loose Flashing:

If flashing becomes loose, detached, or is missing entirely, it compromises the chimney's ability to prevent water damage, prompting the need for flashing repair or replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't find the question you're looking for? Ask us here.

What is chimney flashing and why is it important?

Chimney flashing is the strip that seals the area where the chimney meets the roof to prevent water from leaking into your home. It’s crucial because it protects your roof, chimney, and home from water damage, which can lead to structural issues, mold, and costly repairs.

How do I know if my chimney flashing needs repair?

Signs that your chimney flashing needs repair include tears, rips, or pinholes. You may also notice water stains on your ceiling or walls around the chimney or fireplace, especially after rain, indicating that moisture is leaking through the flashing.

How did my chimney flashing get damaged?

Chimney flashing can get damaged due to a variety of factors. Common causes include weather-related wear and tear, such as strong winds, hail, or heavy rain, which can loosen or corrode the flashing. Additionally, wildlife like squirrels may chew on the flashing to sharpen their teeth, leading to tears and rips. It's important to have your flashing inspected regularly to identify and address any potential damage before it worsens.

What is FlashSeal, and how does it help with flashing repair?

FlashSeal is a flexible, high-quality sealant used to repair and seal chimney flashing. It creates a strong, durable barrier that prevents water from infiltrating the flashing area, ensuring that your chimney and roof are protected from moisture damage.

How long does chimney flashing repair last?

With proper installation and maintenance, flashing repairs can last for many years. Using products like FlashSeal helps ensure that the repair is long-lasting. However, regular chimney inspections are recommended to catch any potential issues early and keep your flashing in top condition.

Can I replace or repair my flashing myself?

While it is possible to attempt flashing repairs on your own, it’s generally recommended to hire a professional. Proper installation requires specialized tools and knowledge to ensure that the flashing is securely fitted and sealed. DIY repairs can result in improper sealing, leading to further damage and expensive repairs down the line and may lead to bodily injuries.

How much does it cost to repair or replace chimney flashing?

The cost of chimney flashing repair or replacement can vary based on the extent of the damage and the materials used. Typically, it’s more cost-effective to repair flashing early, rather than waiting for water damage to cause further issues. Contact us for an estimate to get a better understanding of your specific needs.

Can damaged flashing lead to leaks or other chimney problems?

Yes, damaged or missing flashing can lead to leaks that allow water to enter your home, potentially causing damage to your chimney, roof, and even the interior of your home. Over time, water infiltration can lead to more serious problems, such as mold growth, rust, and deterioration of the chimney structure. Regular maintenance and timely repairs are essential to prevent these issues.
