Ceiling stains close to the chimney

Spotted a brown ring or a damp patch on the ceiling next to the chimney breast? When the stain sits right beside the chimney, the flashing where the roof and chimney join is one of the first places our pros look. Flashing seals that joint with overlapping pieces of metal, and when a piece lifts, rusts or loses its sealant, rain runs straight down the brick into the house.

On a free inspection, our specialists walk all four sides of the chimney on the roof and check the attic beneath it, then tell you which side is failing and why. The repair comes given its own price. Check with one of our local pros about the stain beside your chimney in Bell: (352) 675-6366.

Our Bell coverage is inland from the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. From the Gainesville reference point, Bell is about 31 miles away in a direct line.

Local Conditions

Low-slope roofs around a chimney

Low-slope roof sections around a chimney in Bell slow the water down, so it lingers at the flashing. Laps that would shed water on a steep roof can let it back up on a gentle one. Our specialists extend laps and use details suited to the lower slope, following the roofing maker's instructions for that pitch. Low-slope details take a little more metal and a lot less worry.

Continuous flashing on the sides

The other method the Florida Building Code allows for shingle sidewalls is continuous L flashing, one long piece bent along its length and running up the side of the chimney. It's quicker to install but leaves less room for error, since water that gets past it anywhere follows it all the way down.

You'll hear which method your chimney has, how it's holding up, and which one our pros recommend for the repair. On most shingle roofs they favor step pieces, fitted course by course with the roofing, because each piece sheds its own water. Either way, the shingle maker's instructions for chimney flashing apply.

Flashing details on tile roofs

Roofing tile sits higher off the deck than shingles and have curved or flat profiles with gaps underneath. The Florida Building Code points flashing and counterflashing at tile roofs to the tile maker's instructions and the FRSA and TRI tile installation manual.

Those details use flashing shaped or formed to the tile, with a pan under the tiles along the chimney and a flexible or formed piece over them. Our specialists lift and reset tiles carefully to reach the flashing and set aside any that crack for your roofer. The work follows the manual's details from start to finish, with no shingle shortcuts. Tile work takes longer than shingle work, and the quote reflects that.

Sealing a sided chase at the roof

Framed chases around factory-built fireplaces meet the roof with siding where a masonry chimney would have brick. There the step flashing tucks up behind the siding and the water-resistive barrier, and laps over the roofing below.

Siding that runs down tight to the shingles, or a barrier that stops short, lets water get behind the flashing and into the chase framing. Our pros check how the siding, barrier and flashing overlap, and look for rot at the base of the chase. Siding replacement and rotten framing are priced separately, with the trade named. Where the chase framing is sound, the siding goes back on over the new flashing and barrier.

FAQs

Flashing repair in Bell, explained

Does my chimney need a cricket?

It depends on the chimney's dimensions and position on the roof. Our pros check the applicable requirements and discuss any proposed cricket or roofing work in the estimate.

Can you work on tile or metal roofs?

Yes. Tile roofs follow the tile maker's details and the FRSA and TRI manual, and metal roofs follow the panel maker's chimney details. Our pros work to those, and panel or tile replacement goes to a roofer.
