Yes, chimney flashing leaks are very common in our area due to weathering and the settling of older homes. We fix it by first inspecting the existing flashing for cracks, rust, or separation. We then carefully remove the compromised sections, install new, code-compliant step flashing and counter-flashing, and seal it with a high-grade, UV-resistant sealant to create a watertight barrier that will last for years.

Flashing separation is often caused by thermal expansion/contraction, high winds, or improper initial installation. In most cases, yes, it can be repaired without a full replacement. We assess the extent of the damage, remove the old sealant and fasteners, resecure or replace the flashing piece, and apply new, durable sealants. This targeted repair addresses the leak directly while preserving the life of your existing roof.

You should address it as soon as possible. Even a small leak from failed flashing can lead to significant secondary damage inside your home, including mold growth, damaged insulation, and rotted roof decking or framing. A prompt repair from a local expert like us prevents minor issues from becoming major, costly problems and protects your home's structural integrity.
