A leaky chimney can be a frustrating and expensive problem to have, especially if it’s misdiagnosed. And that’s exactly what oftentimes happens with flashing leaks.
Homeowners see signs of a leak, and because of where the water and water damage is, they assume it’s a problem with the roof. But if you spot wood rot and water damage in your attic or water stains on your ceilings and walls, you may have leaky flashing, not a leaky roof.
Flashing is the sheet metal that covers the base of the chimney and the area of the roof that surrounds the chimney. Trouble is, if it’s installed wrong, lifted in any spots, or rusted through, it will fail to stop rainwater from getting into the chimney and home.
These are the most likely reasons your flashing is leaking:
The good news is we can seal your flashing for leak protection, using powerful and effective waterproofing products from ChimneySaver. These products are designed to provide years of water protection to your flashing, so you can cross “leaky flashing” off your list of worries. Finally, you can stop checking your weather app every 5 minutes!
When flashing is missing or in such poor shape it needs to be replaced, we can help with that, too. We expertly install copper and lead flashing, and we guarantee leak-free, beautiful results.
