Chimney flashing is the protective barrier installed where your chimney meets the roof deck. It prevents water infiltration, leaks, and wood rot around your masonry chimney. Properly installed flashing, including step flashing and counter flashing, ensures your chimney and roof remain watertight during heavy rain or extreme weather.
Signs you may need chimney flashing repair include leaks, cracks, water stains on the ceiling or walls, damaged mortar joints, old flashing, or flashing that is lifting or separating. Regular annual inspections can help detect issues before further damage occurs.
While small caulking jobs are sometimes manageable, repairing chimney flashing requires accurate measurements, proper sheet metal, and roofing cement to create a watertight seal. Certified technicians at GMT Home Services use all the necessary tools and safety gear to safely replace chimney flashing or repair damaged chimney flashing.
The chimney flashing repair cost varies depending on the extent of damage, the flashing material, and whether you need to replace flashing entirely. Minor flashing repairs can be cost-effective, while replacing existing chimney flashing or addressing water damage may increase costs.
