Exposed nails in the flashing

Look up at the flashing and see nail heads through the flat metal on the roof? Every exposed nail is a hole, and the sealant dab over it won't last as long as the roof does.

Our specialists fasten flashing where the roofing covers the fasteners, or into the mortar joint, so no nail sits exposed to the weather. Old nail holes are sealed or the piece is replaced. It's one of those small details that separates a flashing job that lasts from one that leaks again in a year. Reserve a flashing repair done the careful way in Micanopy at (352) 675-6366.

Wide chimneys and the cricket rule

The uphill side of a chimney in Micanopy deserves attention where debris collects or water entry is suspected. Our pros assess the roof connection and whether the configuration calls for a cricket. The estimate should identify any proposed roofing work and who will carry it out.

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.

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.

Continuous flashing on the sides

The other method the Florida Building Code allows for shingle sidewalls is continuous L flashing, one long piece bent along its length and running up the side of the chimney. It's quicker to install but leaves less room for error, since water that gets past it anywhere follows it all the way down.

You'll hear which method your chimney has, how it's holding up, and which one our pros recommend for the repair. On most shingle roofs they favor step pieces, fitted course by course with the roofing, because each piece sheds its own water. Either way, the shingle maker's instructions for chimney flashing apply.

FAQs

Reseal or replace? Common questions

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.

What happens if the flashing leaks after you fix it?

Our pros come back and put it right, since our workmanship warranty covers the flashing we fit. The quote notes which sides were resealed or replaced, so it's clear what's covered. Book a free flashing inspection in Micanopy at (352) 675-6366.
