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 Yankeetown: (352) 675-6366.

Yankeetown is on our Levy County list of places we serve. When the 2020 Census counted Yankeetown, it found 588 residents.

Local Conditions

Wind off the water and the flashing edge

Rain driven sideways by wind off the water tugs at loose flashing edges on chimneys in Yankeetown. Once an edge lifts, salt water gets underneath and rusts the fasteners holding it down. Our pros fasten flashing where the roofing covers it and set the counter flashing into the mortar, so there's no loose edge for the wind to grab.

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.

When the old flashing has rusted through

Over the years, galvanized flashing loses its zinc coating, and rust starts where water sits longest: along bends, at the base of the brick and around nail holes. Once there's a hole, water runs straight through, and no sealant fixes that.

New corrosion-resistant pieces take their place, fitted the full size and set properly into the brick. If only one side has rusted, that side gets priced on its own. If rust has run down from a rusting cap or chase top above, that source is noted too, since it'll keep staining the new work if left. The old pieces leave with us.

Deciding between a reseal and new flashing

Sound flashing with failed sealant can be resealed. That means the metal lies flat, has no holes, laps properly over the base, and is set into the brick or held firmly against it.

If any of those isn't true, new flashing is the lasting fix. Our specialists check each point on each side and tell you which applies, with prices for both where it's close. A reseal is quicker and cheaper; replacement lasts longer and costs more. You'll see why they recommend one over the other, on the quote, before any work begins. Either way, the metal and sealant used are named on the quote.

FAQs

Quick answers about chimney flashing

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.

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.
