Chimney flashing is one of the most important components in protecting your roof and home from water damage. It’s the metal sealing system that covers the joint where your chimney meets your roof, preventing rainwater from seeping inside.
Over time, exposure to weather, rust, and temperature changes can cause the flashing to crack, loosen, or corrode. When that happens, water can easily find its way into your attic, chimney, or interior walls, leading to costly damage.
That’s why professional chimney flashing repair is critical for maintaining both your chimney’s integrity and your roof’s lifespan.
What Causes Chimney Flashing Damage?
There are several common causes of flashing deterioration:
-
Weather exposure: Constant exposure to rain, snow, and UV rays weakens flashing over time.
-
Poor installation: Improper sealing or overlapping during installation can lead to early failure.
-
Rust and corrosion: Older flashing made of low-quality metals can corrode and lose effectiveness.
-
Settling or roof movement: Over years, homes naturally shift, causing gaps between roof and chimney.
-
Worn-out sealant: Caulking and roofing cement around the flashing eventually dry out and crack.
If your flashing has started to fail, timely repair or replacement can prevent leaks and structural issues.
