Chimney Flashing Repair

Fixing a leaky chimney flashing  is the second most needed reason homeowners call. Almost all leaks are caused by a “flashing” problem. Flashing is a piece of metal that sits flush against a chimney stack/pipe and sweeps away any water. Many leaks are slow, and you may not see them for several years until the drywall next to the chimney starts to buckle or show signs of mold. Because they might be hard to spot when they start, it might be a good idea to have your chimney examined once a year by a professional to identify any problems before they grow. Most issues can easily be repaired by a service professional can be expected to remain watertight for a long time.
