Ceiling stains close to the chimney
Spotted a brown ring or a damp patch on the ceiling next to the chimney breast? When the stain sits right beside the chimney, the flashing where the roof and chimney join is one of the first places our pros look. Flashing seals that joint with overlapping pieces of metal, and when a piece lifts, rusts or loses its sealant, rain runs straight down the brick into the house.
On a free inspection, our specialists walk all four sides of the chimney on the roof and check the attic beneath it, then tell you which side is failing and why. The repair comes given its own price. Check with one of our local pros about the stain beside your chimney in Newberry: (352) 675-6366.
Newberry lies inland from the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. Dudley Farm Historic State Park is found in Newberry.

Wide chimneys and the cricket rule
The uphill side of a chimney in Newberry 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.

Sealants that belong on a chimney
Sealant closes the joint where counter flashing meets the brick, and the wrong product fails fast. The Brick Industry Association advises polysulfide, butyl or silicone sealants with proper priming and backing, and advises against oil-based ones.
Our specialists pick a sealant rated for both metal and masonry, clean and dry the joint before applying it, and tool it so it sheds water. Sealant is a maintenance item, so they'll tell you what to look for on the bead in the years ahead, such as cracking or pulling away at the edges. Good sealant on well-set flashing is a small part of the job that makes a big difference.
What the brick industry says about flashing metals
The Brick Industry Association's guidance on chimney flashing weighs the common metals. It notes that alkalis in fresh mortar attack aluminum, that copper can stain brick and stone, and it recommends stainless steel, such as Type 304. Galvanized steel is not recommended.
Our specialists use that guidance when choosing replacement flashing, balanced against your roofing type and what's already on the chimney. Mixing metals where they touch is avoided, since dissimilar metals corrode each other. The chosen metal is named on the quote, with the reason, so you know what's on your roof. Stainless also keeps its strength where fresh mortar touches it, which matters in the reglet joint.
New roof, new chimney flashing
When a roof is replaced, reusing old chimney flashing is a gamble. The base pieces get bent lifting them out, the old counter flashing may be surface-mounted or rusted, and the new roofing may sit at a different height.
Our pros recommend new flashing with a new roof, timed so the chimney work is ready when the roofer reaches that part. Repointing and reglet cuts happen first, then the base and step pieces go in with the roofing, and the counter flashing goes on last. Getting the order right is half the job. Our specialists can meet your roofer on the roof to agree the sequence before work starts.

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.
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 Newberry at (352) 675-6366.
