Getting the flashing right on Colonialtown North chimneys
How the job runs in Colonialtown North, and where your choices come in.
Leaks that come only with blowing rain
If the chimney leaks only when rain blows from one direction, the entry point is often on the face that direction strikes. Wind pushes water up and sideways, past laps that shed straight-down rain with no trouble at all.
Note which way the storm came from when the stain grew. That detail can narrow the search to one or two faces. Short laps, lifted counter flashing and open corners are the usual suspects, and we check each one on the face your notes point to.
Crown, cap and flashing are three different repairs
The crown is the masonry top of the chimney, the cap is the metal cover over the flue and the flashing is the metal at the roofline. All three keep water out, but each fails in its own way and each is repaired differently.
When a leak is traced to the chimney, we tell you which of the three is involved. If more than one needs work, each appears as its own item. That keeps the flashing repair focused and shows you what every line of the estimate is expected to fix.
When a small flashing repair is enough
Not every leak calls for a full reflash. A single loose counter flashing piece, a failed joint where the metal enters the masonry or a torn corner tab can sometimes be repaired on its own, provided the rest of the flashing is sound.
We tell you honestly when a small repair will do the job. It is written up with what it fixes and what it does not, so you decide with the whole picture and without pressure to buy more than the chimney needs.
Temporary protection before the repair
When a leak is active and the repair has to wait for dry weather or materials, temporary protection can limit the damage. That may mean a secured cover over the junction or refastening a lifted piece of metal.
Temporary measures are just that. We tell you what they do and how long they are meant to last, and we remove them when the permanent flashing goes in. They are never a reason to put off the real repair longer than the weather requires.

Flashing repair answers for Colonialtown North homeowners
If your question is not here, our Colonialtown North team is a phone call away.
How do you know the leak is the flashing and not the chimney itself?
During the free inspection we check the crown, cap, brick and flashing and trace how water reaches the stain. If the flashing is not the source, we tell you and point to the repair that is.
Can I check the flashing myself?
From the ground, yes. Binoculars show lifted metal, rust and tar patches without the risk of climbing. Tell us what you see, and we handle the roof work.
