What goes into a flashing job in Crescent Park
The details below shape the repair we recommend in Crescent Park, and each one shows up in your written estimate.
Keep notes on when the chimney leaks
A few details make a flashing assessment faster and more accurate. Note whether the leak follows every rain or only long, heavy ones, whether it starts during the rain or hours later, and which room or spot shows it first.
Leaks that appear within minutes of rain often point to an open seam near the surface. Leaks that show up hours later can mean water is soaking through masonry first. Bring those notes to the inspection, because they help us look at the right part of the chimney first.
Loose masonry above the roofline comes first
Counter flashing anchors into the masonry. If the brick courses at the roofline are loose or the mortar has failed, new flashing has nothing solid to hold on to. Resetting metal in a crumbling joint only moves the leak a few inches.
In that case the masonry repair comes before the flashing, or as part of the same visit. We explain the order and list each part separately, so you can see what the masonry work involves next to the flashing itself.
Wide chimneys with more than one flue
Chimneys that carry several flues are often wide, which means more water collects behind them and the flashing has longer runs to cover. Longer runs mean more seams and more places for water to work in.
We check the full width of the back pan or cricket and every seam along the sides. Whether your chimney needs a cricket under the code's width rule is measured and noted in the estimate. Wide chimneys also carry longer counter flashing runs across the back, where a single failed joint can feed water along the whole width before it finds a way in.
Flashing cement and where it fits
Flashing cement is a thick roofing compound used to bed and seal flashing laps. It appears in the prescribed L flashing option of Section R905.2.8.1 of the Florida Building Code, Residential, where the laps between pieces are sealed in flashing cement.
Used that way, it supports the metal. Spread across the surface as the only barrier, it dries, cracks and leaves the seam open. We use it inside the detail as the method calls for and never as a substitute for missing metal.

Chimney flashing questions from Crescent Park
Still deciding? These answers help, and the inspection in Crescent Park is free.
What happens to the stain indoors after the flashing is fixed?
The mark stays until the interior is repaired. Let the area dry through a few rains before repainting, and seal it first so it does not bleed through. Call us if it grows.
What should I look for after a big storm?
From the yard, look for metal standing away from the masonry, bent edges or pieces that are gone. A leak that starts right after a storm usually traces to a piece that was already weak. If you see anything, book a free inspection before the next heavy rain and keep the ladder in the garage.
