Flashing on a sided chimney chase

Does your fireplace have a boxed-in chimney chase covered in siding? Where that chase meets the roof, flashing has to work with the siding and the water barrier behind it, tucking under the siding and lapping over the roofing below.

The step flashing should run up under the siding with no way for water to get behind it, and that's what our specialists check. If siding or trim needs replacing to do it right, the quote says so and names who handles that part. Rot found under the siding is priced as its own item. Ask our pros about flashing on your chase in Hawthorne by phoning (352) 675-6366.

The 2020 Census put the population of Hawthorne at 1,478. Hawthorne lies inland from the Gulf and Atlantic coasts.

Local Conditions

Leaves piling behind the chimney

Branches over a roof in Hawthorne drop leaves and needles against the back of the chimney, where water already flows hardest. The pile holds water against the flashing and the brick long after the rain stops. Our pros clear it, check the back pan or cricket underneath for rust, and tell you if a cricket would keep the debris from building up again.

The apron across the front

On the downslope face of the chimney, a single apron piece runs across the base, lying over the shingles below and turning up against the brick. Water runs off the chimney face onto it and away down the roof.

It fails at the top edge, where it meets the brick, and at the corners, where it has to wrap around to meet the side pieces. A good apron extends around each corner with a tab so there's no open seam. Our pros check both corners carefully, since a gap there sends water along the side flashing and into the roof deck.

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.

Setting counter flashing into a mortar joint

The strongest attachment for counter flashing on brick is a reglet, a narrow groove sawn into a mortar joint, with the flashing's upper lip folded into it and sealed. Water running down the brick then crosses over the flashing's top edge instead of running behind it.

On the stepped sides, the counter flashing follows the mortar courses in steps. Surface-mounted flashing, held to the brick face by caulk or a bar, relies on the sealant alone. Our pros cut reglets wherever the mortar joint is sound enough to hold, and repoint first where it isn't. The cut is sealed so water can't follow the groove.

FAQs

Reseal or replace? Common questions

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.

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.
