Our approach to chimney flashing in East Park
Practical points from our chimney flashing crew in East Park.
The uphill face collects the most water
Rain running down the roof meets the back of the chimney head on. On a narrow chimney, a back pan of flashing turns that water around the sides. On a wide one, water can pond behind the chimney, which is the reason crickets exist.
Leaks that show up only in hard rain often trace to this uphill face, where leaves and grit also gather and hold moisture against the metal. We clear what has collected, read the back pan's seams and laps, and check how the side flashing picks up the water the back pan sends around.
The mark indoors is a separate repair
Stopping water at the flashing does not remove the mark it left on the ceiling or wall. Drywall and paint need to dry fully before the finish is repaired, and staining can bleed through fresh paint unless the area is sealed first.
Interior repair sits outside our flashing scope unless we agree to it in writing. We suggest waiting through a few rains after the repair to confirm the area stays dry before repainting. If a new mark appears, note the date and weather and call us, and we will compare it to the original.
A safe way to check your flashing from the yard
A pair of binoculars from the yard or an upstairs window shows a lot. Look for gaps between metal and masonry, rust streaks below the chimney, metal that has lifted and dark patches of tar or sealant around the base.
Write down what you see and on which side. That is useful information when you call, and it helps us bring the right materials to the first visit. We handle the climbing so you never need to.
Sealants age faster on a roof
Sun, heat and rain age a sealant on a roof far faster than the same product indoors. A bead that looks fine from the ground can be hard, cracked or pulled away from the masonry at arm's length.
We check every sealed joint up close during the inspection. Where sealant is part of a proper flashing detail, a fresh bead can be a simple maintenance item. Where it is doing work that metal should do, we recommend the flashing repair instead.

What people in East Park ask about chimney flashing
Answers from our specialists in East Park, with no sales pressure.
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.
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.
