What goes into a flashing job in Haralson Estates
The details below shape the repair we recommend in Haralson Estates, and each one shows up in your written estimate.
Folded or soldered corners
Corners can be closed by folding the metal into a tab that wraps around, or by soldering a seam on metals that accept solder, such as copper. Each method has its place, and each needs care to avoid a gap at the fold or the seam.
We explain which approach suits your flashing metal and chimney shape. Folded corners are common on aluminum and coated steel, while soldered corners are common on copper. Either way, each corner is sealed and checked before the roofing goes back over it.
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 against a stone chimney
Natural and cultured stone have uneven faces and irregular joints, which makes setting counter flashing harder than on brick. Water can also run behind stone along joints that are not level.
We look for a joint or a line where counter flashing can be anchored and sealed properly. Sometimes a groove is cut to create a clean line across the stone. We explain the approach for your chimney before any cutting. Mortar joints between stones can also let water in above the flashing, so we look at the stonework just above the roofline before blaming the metal below it.
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.

What people in Haralson Estates ask about chimney flashing
Short answers from our chimney team in Haralson Estates. Call for anything not covered here.
Do you need to go into my attic?
It helps when there is access near the chimney. Water marks on the decking and framing show which face is letting water in. We always ask first and keep the visit tidy.
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.
