The attic tells the story first
Before a stain reaches your ceiling, the attic tends to show it. Dark streaks on the roof boards beside the chimney, wet insulation or rusty nail tips all point to water getting past the flashing above.
Where there's access, the attic side of the chimney is part of every flashing inspection. What our pros see there tells them which side of the chimney to focus on outside and how long the leak has been going on. Wet insulation should be replaced once the leak is fixed, and your quote says who handles it. Ask for a flashing and attic check in Spring Ridge at (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions
Standard metals inland
Standard corrosion-resistant flashing from the maker's stock is a sound choice in Spring Ridge, since salt isn't wearing it away. Stainless still earns its keep by resisting corrosion and staying clear of mortar reactions. Our pros explain the options for your roof and brick and name the metal on the quote, so you know what's going on your chimney. Anything bent is refastened or replaced before the next rain.
Our Process

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.
The upslope side takes the most water
Every drop of rain landing on the roof above the chimney runs down to its back face. A narrow chimney can shed that with a back pan, a flashing piece that runs up under the shingles and turns up against the brick, carrying water off to either side.
On a wider chimney, that much water piles up, pushes under the roofing and soaks the brick. Leaves and needles collect there too and hold the water in place. Our specialists check the back pan for rust, splits and debris dams, and tell you if the chimney is wide enough to need a cricket instead.
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.
