Testing the fix with water

How do you know the repair worked before the next storm? Where the roof allows, our pros can run a controlled water test after the flashing work, wetting the chimney one face after another, working upward from the roof, while someone watches the attic or ceiling below.

If water shows up, they know exactly where it came in. If it stays dry, you have more certainty than waiting for rain. The test is offered as an option and priced on its own line. It's especially useful when a leak has been patched before without success. Ask about a tested flashing repair at your home in East Bronson: (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Moss on the shaded side

On the shaded side of a chimney in East Bronson, moss and algae can grow on the roofing and brick near the flashing. They hold moisture against the metal and the sealant between rains. Our specialists clear growth from around the flashing, check the sealant and metal beneath it, and suggest how to keep it from coming back. Clearing the growth also lets the sealant dry between rains.

Why each side of the chimney fails differently

The front of a chimney faces down the roof and sheds water onto the shingles below, so it fails mainly where its top edge meets the brick. The two sides sit parallel to the water's path and fail where step pieces are short, missing or pulled loose.

The back faces up the slope and takes the full flow of water from above, so it's where ponding and cricket problems show up. Our specialists inspect each side against its own weak points instead of treating the flashing as one thing. That's how they find the actual gap, rather than sealing everything and hoping the leak stops.

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.

Repointing before new counter flashing

A mortar joint is what holds counter flashing on. If that mortar is soft, cracked or washing out, the flashing loosens and water gets behind it within a season.

Our specialists repoint that stretch of joints first, with a mortar matched to the brick, and let it set before cutting the reglet and fitting new counter flashing. It adds a step, but it's the difference between a repair that lasts and one that fails at the same spot. The repointing has its own price on the quote. It's the step most patch jobs skip, and the reason they fail again at the same spot.

FAQs

Quick answers about chimney flashing

Why does roofing cement keep failing?

It dries, cracks and pulls away from the brick in the sun, and it hides what's wrong underneath. Our specialists remove it, fix the flashing properly and seal the joint with a masonry-rated sealant.

What metal do you use for flashing?

Your roof and brick decide it. The Brick Industry Association recommends stainless steel for chimneys, and our specialists name the metal on your quote with the reason for choosing it.
