How we handle chimney flashing repair in Dr. Phillips
What our pros check and why, on flashing jobs across Dr. Phillips.
Diverting water where a roof edge meets a wall
Where a roof edge ends against a vertical wall, a small diverter piece turns water into the gutter instead of down the wall. On chimneys that sit near a roof edge, the same idea applies at the chimney's base.
When that diverter is missing, water can run behind the cladding or into the chimney base and show up well below the roof. We check for it where the chimney layout calls for one and add it to the scope when it is absent.
Reflashing one side versus the whole chimney
Sometimes only one face of the chimney has failed. Replacing that face alone is possible when the pieces around it are sound and the new work can lap correctly into the old.
When the remaining flashing is near the end of its useful life, a full reflash may be the better value, since the roof is opened only once. We explain the tradeoff and put both options in writing so you can choose. A one-side repair also has to tie into the corner pieces of the faces beside it, and we check those folds before promising that the old and new metal will work together.
Framed chimneys can leak from the top down
On a framed chase, the metal chase cover at the top is a common source of water that shows up near the roofline. Rust, ponding and failed seams in that cover can send water down inside the chase walls.
We look at the chase cover during the flashing inspection. If the cover is the source, it is a separate repair, and we list it on its own so you can decide on each part. Water from a failed chase top often stains the ceiling in the same spot a flashing leak would, which is why the two are checked together before either is blamed.
A skylight close to the chimney
A skylight near the chimney has its own flashing, and the two can share a strip of roof. Water that gets past one can show up beside the other. Skylights also come with their maker's own flashing kits, which govern that side of the repair.
We check both when they sit close together and tell you which one is letting water in. If the skylight flashing needs work, we point you to the right trade or include it in writing when we agree to handle it.

Chimney flashing questions from Dr. Phillips
Answers from our specialists in Dr. Phillips, with no sales pressure.
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.
How do you decide between a repair and a full reflash?
Flashing usually wears out gradually, with spreading rust, cracked sealant, lifted counter flashing edges and opening corners. One sign alone may not leak yet. When several show on one chimney, we explain whether a repair buys real time or a full reflash makes more sense, and both options go in writing.
