Rust holes in old flashing

Galvanized flashing that's been on the roof for years can rust through along its bends and at the nail holes. From the ground it looks fine; up close, you can see daylight through it.

Rusted flashing comes out and corrosion-resistant metal goes in, fitted to your roofing type and set into the chimney's mortar joints where it belongs. The Brick Industry Association recommends stainless steel for chimney flashing, and our pros will explain the options before anything is ordered. Each side is priced separately in case only part needs replacing. Ask about replacing rusted flashing at your home in Manatee Road by calling (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Storm wind and lifted flashing

A strong storm passing over Manatee Road can catch a loose flashing edge and bend it up, even well away from the coast. The leak it opens may not show inside until the next heavy rain.

Our specialists then make sure every piece of flashing still lies flat and is fastened, and they refit anything the wind has moved.

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.

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.

Deciding between a reseal and new flashing

Sound flashing with failed sealant can be resealed. That means the metal lies flat, has no holes, laps properly over the base, and is set into the brick or held firmly against it.

If any of those isn't true, new flashing is the lasting fix. Our specialists check each point on each side and tell you which applies, with prices for both where it's close. A reseal is quicker and cheaper; replacement lasts longer and costs more. You'll see why they recommend one over the other, on the quote, before any work begins. Either way, the metal and sealant used are named on the quote.

FAQs

Common flashing questions in Manatee Road

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 signs point to the flashing?

A stain right beside the chimney, wet boards along one side in the attic, or a leak only in windy rain all point to flashing. Our specialists confirm it on your free inspection and can run a water test if needed.
