Chimney Leak Repair and Metal Flashing

Chimney flashing is what you call the transition where the chimney connects to the roofline. Flashings include several parts, such as skylights, vents, and pipers. All these components are in danger of water damage. Due to constant heat and rain, the condition may eventually be worsened, causing leaking problems along the way.

The leaks can usually be found around the skylights parts, as well as the windows or holes for vent pipes. The thing with flashing repairs is that they are not permanent. Once there’s a leak around the chimney, it should be fixed soon to prevent extensive damage. That’s why chimney flashing is needed at least once a year to maintain the chimney’s structural integrity.
