Counter flashing glued to the brick face

Look closely at the top edge of the flashing. Is it tucked into a mortar joint, or just glued to the face of the brick with a bead of caulk? Surface-glued flashing depends entirely on that caulk, and once it cracks, water runs down the brick behind the metal.

Our specialists cut a groove into the mortar joint, set the counter flashing into it and seal it, so water on the brick face runs over the flashing instead of behind it. It's the detail that makes flashing last, and it's worth doing right once. Reserve a counter flashing repair in Jonesville at (352) 675-6366.

Jonesville is one of the Alachua County places our pros cover. Our Jonesville coverage is inland from the Gulf and Atlantic coasts.

Local Conditions

Pressure washing a roof near the chimney

Pressure washing a roof in Jonesville can drive water up under the flashing, strip sealant from the counter flashing joint and blast mortar from the brick beside it.

If a leak started after a roof cleaning, our pros check the flashing and the joint above it first, then reseal or repoint what the spray damaged. It's worth telling the roof cleaner about the chimney next time.

Step flashing along the sides

Along the sides of the chimney, flashing goes in as a series of short L-shaped pieces, one for each course of shingles. Every piece overlaps the piece beneath it and hides under the next shingle, and water steps down the roof from one to the next.

Sidewall flashing on shingle roofs can follow this step method or use continuous L flashing, and the Florida Building Code allows both. Step pieces fail when one is missing, too short or nailed where the shingle doesn't cover it. Our specialists check each piece where it can be seen and look for the tell-tale stain running down from a gap.

Why roofing cement patches keep failing

Roofing cement, the thick black tar that comes in buckets, gets smeared on a lot of leaking chimneys. It stops water for a while, then dries, cracks and pulls away from the brick in the sun.

Worse, it hides the flashing underneath, so a rusted piece or a missing step keeps failing behind a patch that looks fine from the ground. Our pros remove old patching to see the metal, then fix the actual problem. If the metal is sound, a proper sealant replaces the tar. If it isn't, new flashing goes in. Either way, the patching stops being an annual chore.

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.
