A leak that only shows in hard rain

Is the ceiling dry in a gentle shower but damp after a heavy, windy storm? Wind-driven rain hits the chimney sideways and finds gaps that gentle rain doesn't reach, such as a short step flashing piece or a loose counter flashing edge on the windward side.

Those are the gaps our specialists hunt for, with close attention to the side that faces the prevailing weather. They'll check the brick and crown too, since hard rain can soak through masonry as well. You'll get the likely entry points, the fix and the price up front. Chat with a local pro about your storm-only leak in Raleigh by calling (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Solar panels and dish mounts near the chimney

If solar panels, a satellite dish or a vent pipe sits close to the chimney on your home in Raleigh, its mounting can crowd the flashing or put screws right through it. Our specialists check anything fastened near the chimney, reseal penetrations that affect the flashing, and tell you if a mount needs moving by whoever installed it. Every screw through flashing is a potential leak.

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.

Does your chimney need a cricket?

A cricket diverts water approaching the uphill side of a chimney. Whether one is required, and how it connects to the roof, depends on the chimney and roof configuration. The inspection considers those details alongside the flashing instead of assuming every leak needs the same alteration.

Your chimney is measured against that rule, and the measurements go on your quote. A missing cricket on a wide chimney explains a lot of back-side leaks. Building one takes framing, sheathing, flashing and roofing, and your quote says who does that work.

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.

FAQs

Common flashing questions in Raleigh

Should the flashing be redone with a new roof?

In most cases, yes. Old flashing gets bent coming off and may not fit the new roofing. Our pros time the chimney side of the work with your roofer. Talk to us before your reroof in Raleigh at (352) 675-6366.

Can you work on tile or metal roofs?

Yes. Tile roofs follow the tile maker's details and the FRSA and TRI manual, and metal roofs follow the panel maker's chimney details. Our pros work to those, and panel or tile replacement goes to a roofer.
