Chimney Flashing Repair
Flashing is the metal and sealant that waterproofs the joint where the chimney passes through the roof. It's one of the most common places for a chimney to leak.
Where roof meets chimney
The seam between a chimney and the roof is a natural weak point. Flashing bridges that gap so water runs off instead of down into the home. When flashing lifts, corrodes, or loses its seal, that seam becomes a leak.
Repair focused on the chimney
We address flashing as it relates to the chimney — resealing, repairing, or replacing the flashing at the chimney so water is directed away. Our focus is the chimney and its water management, not general roofing work.
Signs of flashing trouble
- Water stains on the ceiling near the chimney
- Visible gaps or lifted metal at the roof joint
- Cracked or peeling sealant around the base
- Rust streaks on the flashing
- Leaks that appear during wind-driven rain
What our service covers

Frequently asked questions
Is flashing repair a roofing job?
The flashing at the chimney is closely tied to the chimney's water management. We handle it as part of keeping your chimney watertight rather than as general roofing.
How do I know it's the flashing and not the crown?
Both can cause similar stains. A proper leak diagnosis distinguishes flashing failures from crown, cap, or masonry entry points.
