Exposed nails in the flashing

Look up at the flashing and see nail heads through the flat metal on the roof? Every exposed nail is a hole, and the sealant dab over it won't last as long as the roof does.

Our specialists fasten flashing where the roofing covers the fasteners, or into the mortar joint, so no nail sits exposed to the weather. Old nail holes are sealed or the piece is replaced. It's one of those small details that separates a flashing job that lasts from one that leaks again in a year. Reserve a flashing repair done the careful way in Chiefland at (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

A leak that comes and goes

A flashing leak in Chiefland that shows up in some storms and not others tends to depend on wind direction. Rain from one side finds a gap; rain from the others doesn't. Our pros look closely at the side facing the storm that caused the stain, and they can run a water test one side at a time to prove the entry point.

Flashing thickness and the building code

Thin flashing tears, dents and rusts through faster than heavier stock. The Florida Building Code sets minimum thicknesses for the corrosion-resistant metals used as flashing, listed by metal in its roofing chapter.

Our pros use flashing that meets or exceeds those minimums for the metal chosen, bending it on site to fit your chimney instead of forcing a pre-bent piece that almost fits. Heavier stock also holds its shape against wind, which keeps the laps tight. If your current flashing is lighter than it should be, that goes on the quote with the replacement price. The metal's thickness is written next to its type on the quote.

Where flashing fasteners should go

A nail through flat flashing on the roof is a hole waiting to leak. Properly installed flashing is fastened where the roofing covers the fastener, or held in the mortar joint above, so no nail sits exposed in the path of the water.

Exposed nails, and dabs of sealant over them, are early leak points, so our pros hunt for them. On repairs, fasteners go where the shingle or tile will cover them, and the counter flashing is held by the reglet and its sealant. It's a small detail that makes flashing last as long as the roof around it.

New roof, new chimney flashing

When a roof is replaced, reusing old chimney flashing is a gamble. The base pieces get bent lifting them out, the old counter flashing may be surface-mounted or rusted, and the new roofing may sit at a different height.

Our pros recommend new flashing with a new roof, timed so the chimney work is ready when the roofer reaches that part. Repointing and reglet cuts happen first, then the base and step pieces go in with the roofing, and the counter flashing goes on last. Getting the order right is half the job. Our specialists can meet your roofer on the roof to agree the sequence before work starts.
