Testing the fix with water

How do you know the repair worked before the next storm? Where the roof allows, our pros can run a controlled water test after the flashing work, wetting the chimney one face after another, working upward from the roof, while someone watches the attic or ceiling below.

If water shows up, they know exactly where it came in. If it stays dry, you have more certainty than waiting for rain. The test is offered as an option and priced on its own line. It's especially useful when a leak has been patched before without success. Ask about a tested flashing repair at your home in Orange Heights: (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Flashing on an unused chimney

Even if the fireplace in your home in Orange Heights hasn't been lit in years, the flashing around the chimney still keeps rain out of the roof. It wears out whether the chimney is used or not. Our specialists check it along with the rest of the chimney top and price any repair, so an idle chimney doesn't become the source of a leak.

Our Process

Attic first, roof line second

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.

Following the shingle maker's instructions

On asphalt shingle roofs, the Florida Building Code has chimney flashing applied according to the shingle maker's instructions. Those instructions cover how the base pieces lie under and over the shingle courses and where fasteners may go.

Working to them lets the flashing and the roofing act as one system. It also protects your roof's own warranty, which may depend on the flashing being installed the maker's way. If your shingles are an unusual type, our pros check the maker's details before starting, rather than guessing on the roof. Our pros read those details before cutting any metal, so the pieces lie right the first time.

Setting counter flashing into a mortar joint

The strongest attachment for counter flashing on brick is a reglet, a narrow groove sawn into a mortar joint, with the flashing's upper lip folded into it and sealed. Water running down the brick then crosses over the flashing's top edge instead of running behind it.

On the stepped sides, the counter flashing follows the mortar courses in steps. Surface-mounted flashing, held to the brick face by caulk or a bar, relies on the sealant alone. Our pros cut reglets wherever the mortar joint is sound enough to hold, and repoint first where it isn't. The cut is sealed so water can't follow the groove.

Masonry work and roofing work overlap at the flashing. Our specialists handle the chimney side: the counter flashing set into the brick, repointing the joints it sits in, and the flashing pieces themselves when the roofing around them is sound.

When shingles, tiles or roof boards around the chimney are damaged, a roofer replaces them. Our pros will tell you when that's the case, coordinate the order of work, and make sure the quote shows who does each part. Working together on the same day where possible keeps the roof open for the shortest time. You get one quote that shows both halves.

FAQs

Quick answers about chimney flashing

Does my chimney need a cricket?

It depends on the chimney's dimensions and position on the roof. Our pros check the applicable requirements and discuss any proposed cricket or roofing work in the estimate.

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.
