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 Inglis by phoning (352) 675-6366.

About 48 miles, measured point to point, lie between Inglis and the Gainesville reference point. Our specialists serve Inglis as part of Levy County.

Local Conditions

Flashing close to the coast

On the breeze from the nearby coast, some salt reaches homes in Inglis. It's lighter than on the shore, but thin flashing at nail holes and bends shows it first as rust spots and pitting. Our specialists recommend stainless flashing here and check the laps and fasteners for early rust, so a small spot doesn't become a leak.

Our Process

Four sides, one careful repair

Attic and all four sides

The attic below is looked at first, then every side of the flashing on the roof.
Choose reseal or replace

You get each side given a written price, with the reason for the fix we recommend.
Mortar first, then metal

Joints are repointed, base and step pieces fitted, and counter flashing set into the brick.
Seal, show and clean up

Joints are sealed, you see the finished work, and every scrap of old flashing leaves with us.

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.

When the old flashing has rusted through

Over the years, galvanized flashing loses its zinc coating, and rust starts where water sits longest: along bends, at the base of the brick and around nail holes. Once there's a hole, water runs straight through, and no sealant fixes that.

New corrosion-resistant pieces take their place, fitted the full size and set properly into the brick. If only one side has rusted, that side gets priced on its own. If rust has run down from a rusting cap or chase top above, that source is noted too, since it'll keep staining the new work if left. The old pieces leave with us.

Attic clues that point to flashing

In the attic, a flashing leak leaves a trail. Water stains on the roof boards along one side of the chimney, damp insulation against the masonry, and rusty nail tips poking through the deck near it all point to a gap above.

Our specialists note which side the stains run down, since that tells them which flashing to look at hardest. Fresh water marks and damp insulation mean an active leak; dry, faded stains may be old history. That distinction helps you decide how quickly to book the repair. Our pros describe what they saw in the attic on the written quote, so you have a record of the leak's extent.

FAQs

Common flashing questions in Inglis

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.

Should the flashing be redone with a new roof?

In most cases, yes. Old flashing gets bent coming off and may not fit the new roofing. Our pros time the chimney side of the work with your roofer. Talk to us before your reroof in Inglis at (352) 675-6366.
