Getting the flashing right on Bryn Mawr chimneys
Here is how our local team thinks through a flashing repair at your Bryn Mawr home.
Step flashing or a continuous L along the sides
For the chimney sides on a shingle roof, FBC-R Section R905.2.8.3 allows the step-flashing method or a continuous L flashing method. The two go in differently and fail differently, so the choice is worth understanding.
Step pieces weave into each course and can be replaced one at a time. A continuous L is a long piece that relies on its laps and fastening. We look at what your roof has now, how it has held up and what the shingle maker calls for, then recommend a method in writing.
Chimneys on low-slope and flat roof sections
Low-slope roof sections keep water around a chimney longer after every storm. Membrane roofs use their own flashing methods, often the membrane turned up the chimney and covered by metal counter flashing anchored in the masonry.
Our part at that junction is usually the chimney side, meaning the counter flashing and the masonry it anchors into. Where the membrane itself needs work, we say so and explain how the two scopes meet, so neither trade leaves an open edge at the top of the other's work.
A chimney beside a taller wall
When a chimney sits against a second-story wall, the flashing has to work with the wall's weather barrier and cladding as well as the roof. Water running down the wall and down the chimney can meet at the same inside corner.
We check that the flashing at that corner turns water onto the roof and away from the wall. Repairs here can involve cladding, so we explain how much is disturbed and how it is restored before any work starts.
A second roof layer laid over the first
Some roofs carry a new layer of shingles laid over an old one. At the chimney, that often means the old flashing was left in place and new pieces were tucked in or sealed over it, with two sets of laps working against each other.
We check how many layers meet the chimney and how the flashing relates to each. The cleanest repair usually removes both layers around the chimney so the new metal laps a single roof surface. We explain what that involves before recommending it.
